About This Game

Salvage Frontier is a sci-fi action RPG about making a life on a dangerous alien world. Step off the colony ship, take assignments from the outpost, and head into the wilderness to recover lost equipment, investigate strange signals, and confront the creatures that stand between you and the next discovery. Switch between first- and third-person views as you explore and fight.

Beyond the outpost

Begin aboard the Ark, complete your field training, and meet Lieutenant Vale at the frontier outpost. Follow the campaign through salvage sites, research facilities, and underground encounters. Travel on foot or take a rover or hoverbike into the surrounding terrain, then leave the road to investigate what you find.

Prepare, scan, and adapt

Use your scanner to learn about threats before committing to a fight. Carry ranged weapons and a blade, manage ammunition and medical supplies, and develop weapon proficiency through combat. Fit compatible weapons with optics and suppressors to suit the encounter. Hostile wildlife, armed enemies, and larger creatures demand different approaches.

A frontier with other lives in it

Encounter colonists and roaming NPC crews as you travel. Patrols and local events can turn an ordinary journey into a fight for supplies or a chance to help someone survive. Recruit support, explore by vehicle, and return to the outpost to organize equipment and prepare for your next assignment.

Lost City extraction — in development

A separate extraction mode explores another part of the Salvage Frontier universe: an abandoned city reclaimed by hostile forces. Its current development build includes solo raids, a separate stash and grid inventory, ammunition management, and loot that is retained after a successful extraction. Decide what to carry in, how far to push, and when to leave with what you have recovered.

Squad play for up to four players is being developed and tested. Online co-op, expanded raid content, and additional systems are works in progress; they should not be treated as finished features of the demo.

Development progress

Recent work has expanded campaign content, improved terrain and lighting, refined weapon handling and combat audio, and added more NPC and vehicle interactions. The game remains in active development, with further work on environments, balance, performance, and usability. Demo content is a playable preview, not the complete planned game.

AI Generated Content Disclosure

Generative AI tools are used during development to create some 3D assets as Place Holders and assist with Art/ music Content. These materials are prepared in advance and incorporated into the game or its store page. The game does not generate content using generative AI during gameplay.
Some character voice recordings are also created using generative AI.
