Why you should play Revenge of the Savage Planet

Character and an alien in Revenge of the Savage Planet

Putting aside the fact that I’m obsessed with Raccoons in a slightly OTT way, and ROSP is made by Raccoon Logic Studios, and they’re giving away a free Raccoon suit if you purchase the Hoarder Edition, which I know are all deeply personal and bizarre reasons for me to suggest that you play, there are a bunch of other reasons to dive in. 

Firstly, the game is brilliant. Needless to say, when you consider the above-mentioned Raccoon obsession, I dove into the Hoarder Edition immediately as it dropped, and I’ve been obsessively playing ever since. I’ve fallen in love with everything from the running animation to the aliens around the world, and my first encounter with them included accidentally kicking an adorable mushroom and then staring wide-eyed as it exploded into gatherable carbon.

And, if that slightly nonsensical introduction isn’t enough, you can play alone or with friends, so you’re not going to be alone in your horror or amusement. Or both, at the same time, if you have a twisted sense of humor like I do. 

Dave the Diver in Revenge of the Savage Planet

You can also play as Dave the Diver, if that floats your boat (pun intended). It makes no sense, as acknowledged by Raccoon Logic Studios itself, and possibly the crossover that nobody expected, but Dave does have a habit of showing up in games where you don’t expect him. Balatro, for instance. Anyway, you can don the Dave skin, complete with flippers, and go off on adventures around the galaxy. That part isn’t exclusive to the Hoarder Edition, but it is a wonderful perk if you’re thinking about diving in. These puns just come naturally.

Above everything else, it’s incredibly fun, satirical in all the best ways, and there’s a whole universe to get lost in. Revenge of the Savage Planet: Hoarder Edition is available now on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and PC through Steam.

I just want to say that I downloaded the Hoarder Edition this week and I already love it. I’m not someone who plays a lot of games at once, so when I commit, I go all in. I didn’t even play the first game, but this one made me curious because of the art style and weird humor. It feels like a cartoon come to life. I put the Gold Lamé Suit on and spent like 15 minutes doing nothing but jumping around looking shiny. I haven’t tried multiplayer yet but I probably will. So far, so good.

I bought this because I was promised chaos, raccoons, and flammable mushrooms. Not disappointed. I even got a skin named after a Trash Panda. Is it a little too much? Yes. But that's the whole point. It’s like they handed over the dev tools to someone with too much sugar in their system and said, "Make something weird." And they did. I don’t know if I’ll finish the game. Honestly, I spend most of my time walking around trying to break things and seeing what happens. But the writing is decent, and the alien designs are better than I expected. Not bad for a studio named after trash animals.

I’ve been streaming Revenge of the Savage Planet all week and the chat is LOVING it. Every time I discover a new creature or get jump-scared by an exploding plant, the comments go wild. The humor actually works better when you're playing in front of people. And I got so many messages asking how I got the artbook and soundtrack—Hoarder Edition, folks! For me, the fun part is just exploring and reacting to all the weird stuff. It’s not about being the best, it’s about having a good time with viewers.

I’m probably older than most players here, but I grew up with games that didn’t hold your hand and expected you to experiment. Revenge of the Savage Planet reminds me of that. It doesn’t feel like a typical modern survival game, and I appreciate the creativity. I also noticed some subtle jokes that felt like references to classic sci-fi shows. The design team clearly knows their history. I don’t care much about skins or bonuses, but the digital artbook was a great touch. That kind of content shows respect for the work behind the game.

As someone who develops small games, I really admire what Raccoon Logic pulled off. The world-building in Revenge of the Savage Planet is impressive, and they clearly had a good time making this. You can feel it in the jokes and little details. Including the artbook was a classy move. I’ve been studying the creature design for inspiration. I do think the tone may confuse players who want either full comedy or full sci-fi, but that’s also what makes it unique. It’s not trying to be perfect. It’s trying to be different.
