Revenge of the Savage Planet is a refreshingly colorful and light-hearted co-op throwback to the carefree action platformers of the noughties

Cropped key art for Revenge of the Savage Planet showing two player characters running away from lots of green goo, flanked by various googly-eyed wildlife.

As I set about building my homestead on a strange new planet, my mission in Revenge of the Savage Planet turns out to be surrealer than I initially expected. Abandoned by my once benevolent corporate employer – and fired unceremoniously via video message – I find myself stranded on a sprawling grass-covered world, surrounded by bizarre, bulbous creatures. While materials and food supplies seem to be in abundance, on this peculiar planet I have also encountered…. Well, some, horrifying oddities. From a sentient skyscraper-sized tree tree that demands to be fed live worms to waddling furballs secreting flammable goo, my new home is going to take some adjustment…

That's Revenge of The Savage Planet through and through, the unlikely sequel to 2020's Journey To The Savage Planet. In an age of sour-faced soulslikes and all-consuming live service games, Revenge of the Savage Planet offers a refreshingly colorful and light-hearted throwback to the carefree action platformers of the noughties.
