Cargo Hunters PC (Build 23938698 Early Access)

Cargo Hunters is a single-player extraction shooter where you control a humanoid robot scavenging the remains of humanity on an abandoned, dystopian Earth. We have lost everything. Somehow we keep on moving. Collect and lose loot. Build your shelter. Face challenges. Battle enemies. Fall. Rise. Survive no matter how you define survival. A forgotten home. After the global temperature rise, mankind faced the emergence of superviruses released from the melting Antarctic ice. Within a few years, they wiped out everything that moved, grew, or breathed.

Those with wealth or power escaped the dying Earth, fleeing to [classified] during the ‘Second Exodus’ colonization program in [classified]. Just before the first outbreak. Now they’re paying a ton of money to get their shiny, useless memorabilia back. Escape before it’s too late. It’s all about you and how you get the job done. Brute force, sneak, steal, craft, buy, find. Do what you will. But once you lose, you lose everything you’ve found.

So think carefully. Equip pragmatically. Carrying capacity, weight, noise, condition—everything matters. The world’s dead. The loot isn’t. You already have a human-shaped body. So wear human clothes or armor. Use their weapons. Add replaceable limbs in Cargo Hunters. Dismember the fallen. Harvest their body parts. Recycle what’s unnecessary. That is the daily routine. The body part system is interesting.

It’s a fun moment when you start looking at the other bots as a collection of body parts that you can harvest and think, “That leg would come in handy.” The difficulty is in a pretty good place, keeping the player focused without feeling too oppressive at Cargo Hunters. There are some spikes, though, particularly in the danger zones, where the enemies feel about 10 times stronger than those in other areas.
