Description

In DRIFTERS: Blackout Crew, up to four players raid ancient alien temples, scavenge rare resources, fight through robotic defenders, and extract stolen energy to keep their dying mothership alive.

Stranded in deep space and running on emergency power, your crew survives on what it can steal. Players coordinate under pressure, manage chaotic fights, recover valuable loot, and make it back alive to turn each successful extraction into long-term progress.

History

DRIFTERS: Blackout Crew builds on Salmi Games' track record with Sweet Surrender, the studio's VR roguelite shooter that received years of major updates shaped by community feedback. The team plans to take the same long-term approach with DRIFTERS, inviting players into private playtests and using community feedback to help shape the game ahead of release and beyond.

This game could not have been developed without support and funding from the German Federal Ministry of Research, Technology and Space.

Features

Co-op-first VR extraction: Up to four players survive through communication, teamwork, and shared decisions.
Push deeper or get out: Stay longer for better rewards, or leave before escalating defenses overwhelm the mission.
Built for VR gunplay: Tactile weapon handling, reloading, looting, jetpacking, and combat are designed around VR's unique capabilities.
Distinct stylized sci-fi world: A unique visual style hand-crafted for standalone VR, with extra headroom to shine on Desktop PC.
Crafting, customization, and progression: Turn recovered resources into upgrades, gear, cosmetics, and base improvements.
Community-driven development: As with Sweet Surrender, Salmi Games will continue working closely with players through private playtests, Discord feedback, and long-term post-launch support.
