About Vultures - Scavengers of Death
Vultures – Scavengers of Death drops you into the ruined Salento Valley after a bio‑hazard disaster. As a VULTURE operative you command two agents, Leopoldo and Amber, to extract material that may lead to a cure. The game mixes turn‑based tactical combat with survival‑horror exploration, demanding careful resource management and positioning.
The title uses a retro PS1 visual style and runs as a single‑player experience on Windows. Input options include a mouse‑only mode and partial controller support, while Steam features such as achievements, cloud saves and family sharing are also present, and the game itself includes a market where credits are spent.
01 / THE GUIDE
Leopoldo and Amber
Leopoldo is described as a disciplined operative with strength and ingenuity. He can move, push and jump over objects, allowing him to reshape the battlefield and reach otherwise inaccessible spots.
Amber is characterized by analytical intelligence and agility. Her grappling gun lets her traverse the environment and control enemy positions, giving the player a different method of manipulating the combat space.
- Use Leopoldo’s push or jump to create cover or block mutant paths.
- Amber’s grappling gun can pull enemies into unfavorable positions.
02 / THE GUIDE
Turn‑Based Tactical Combat
Combat proceeds in a turn‑based system where each agent acts in sequence. This pacing lets you plan moves, attacks and positioning before mutants respond, emphasizing strategic foresight.
The ultimate objective of each encounter is to extract the target and survive. All available tools and methods may be employed, but ammo and health packs remain limited throughout the battle.
- Secure a safe extraction route before engaging multiple mutants.
- When health is low, consider disengaging to preserve resources.

Resources and Scavenging
Weapons range from pistols to rifles and knives to katana. Ammo and health packs are scarce but essential, encouraging careful use during missions.
Valuables found in missions convert to credits at the market. Credits can purchase weapon upgrades, new items, gear or cosmetics, linking exploration directly to progression.
- Search every room for keys, codes and clues to open shortcuts.
- Balance weapon upgrades with health supplies to avoid being under‑armed later.
04 / THE GUIDE
Survival Horror Atmosphere
The game draws inspiration from classic survival‑horror franchises and adopts a retro PS1 aesthetic, creating tense, horror‑filled exploration of the ruined city.
Mutants and abominations populate Salento Valley’s dark halls, reinforcing constant danger and the need for cautious progression in each turn‑based encounter.
- Move deliberately; limited visibility can hide enemy positions.
- Prioritize scouting before committing to combat to reduce surprise encounters.
