About Scavland
Scavland is a top-down pixel art survival RPG set in a brutal post-apocalyptic Soviet-era wasteland. Developed by NoShadow and released on March 31 2026 it blends resource management combat and exploration in a world poisoned by a deadly Mist. You scavenge crumbling cities hostile settlements and irradiated forests while balancing hunger thirst and health. The game emphasizes risk versus reward with dangerous jobs and unpredictable encounters. Its stark visuals and punishing difficulty make it a standout for fans of tough survival loops.
Gameplay
You control a survivor moving in real-time with a top-down perspective. Core mechanics include gathering materials crafting tools and managing stats like radiation and fatigue. Combat is action-based requiring quick reflexes against mutated creatures and rival scavengers. Missions involve trading with sketchy NPCs or raiding fortified bunkers stocked with rare loot. The Mist randomly spawns dealing damage over time forcing you to retreat or burn scarce gas masks. Each death resets your inventory but retains some progression. Controls are responsive but the game’s pace is methodical demanding constant planning.

PlayPile's Take
Scavland is a tough but rewarding survival RPG best for players who thrive under pressure. Its low average playtime (22 hours) belies high replayability thanks to randomized loot and permadeath. Achievements like “Gas Mask Master” (survive 10 Mist encounters) add structure. While the difficulty may alienate casual players hardcore fans of titles like S.T.A.L.K.E.R. will appreciate the tension. At its price point it offers solid value but don’t expect an easy journey. Stick with it and the wasteland’s secrets are worth the struggle.
