Description

Play the acclaimed PC survival RPG on your tablet and smartphone! (Free unlimited time demo with IAP to unlock full version. Note that only full version can save progress.)

NEO Scavenger is a game where you must survive in the wasteland long enough to figure out who you are. Each turn, you must decide where to go, how to scavenge for supplies, and how to deal with anything and anyone you encounter. And with each passing minute, the pit in your stomach grows, your dehydration worsens, your muscles tire, and your body temperature drops in the cold autumn air. Choose your starting abilities carefully, because they and your wit are the only tools you have in the apocalypse!

FEATURES:

Unique Setting - Near-future, post-apocalyptic Michigan with local cryptids and folklore. And something else beneath the surface...

Turn-Based Play - Take your time with each turn, and play at your own pace. Save and quit when you want, and resume later.

No Grinding - There are no XP in NEO Scavenger. No levelling-up. Instead, progress comes from learning how to play the game better, and using your strengths to your advantage.

Semi-Random - Much of the map is randomized each game, including the location of ruins, creatures, weather, and certain quest branches.

Sandbox or Story - Search for clues to your identity, what happened, and who's hunting you. Or simply test your mettle against man and nature alike. Play how you want!

Abilities and Flaws - Choose abilities and flaws each time you play. Different combos unlock different abilities and quest branches.

Crafting - Extensive crafting system which allows for substitutions of similar items. Make a rifle scope from half a pair of binoculars, or a noise trap from a pill bottle and pebbles.

Desperate Combat - Detailed combat with moves like "Tackle," "Lure," "Kick While Down," "Demand Surrender," and "Threaten."

Realistic Wounds - Creatures have complex wound simulation, with multiple wound locations, infection, bleeding, and pain management.

Realistic Metabolism - Hypothermia, fatigue, thirst, hunger, disease, intoxication, shelter...everything is tracked.

Realistic Inventory - Complex inventory system with slots for holding, wearing, containers, and more. Fit items in grid spaces, and manage encumbrance.

Hex-Based World Map - Navigate ruins, hills, forests, and plains in a hex-based map. Line-of-sight, elevation, and daylight matters.

Tracking - Creatures leave their tracks and spoor on the map, which can be followed by others. Players can also hide their tracks.

Hiding - Players can use hiding to avoid being seen while traveling the map, as well as during story encounters.

Hunting - Trap small game for food and fur, or track and kill larger prey on the map for butchering.

Foraging - Search for edible plants and water, and use special skills to identify what's safe to eat.

Creature AI - Wandering creatures go about their own business, hunting, scavenging, and hoarding. Morale affects their choices, and some will gang-up and cause trouble.

Dynamic Weather - Temperature, rainfall, and night/day are based on real-world data for autumn in the area. If you live long enough, you may see snow fall.

FULL VERSION ADDS:

Save System - Save progress between sessions. However, if you die, that's it. NEO Scavenger is balanced around a single difficulty level: permadeath. Save games will be deleted if you die. So choose every action carefully!

Haunting Soundtrack - Music composed by Josh Culler, specifically for NEO Scavenger, plays periodically, lending an atmosphere of loneliness and desperation.

Hacking - Use hacking skills to unlock scavenged laptops, cellphones, smartphones, and tablets. Mine them for paydata, or snoop through personal files.

Detroit - Take refuge from the wasteland in one of mankind's last bastions of safety. Buy supplies, get medical care, and seek clues in a cyberpunk-styled city.

More items, crafting, creatures, encounters, and a larger map.

Recent changes:
- Added instant tooltips. Touch and hold blank space, then drag around to get instant tooltips.
- Fixed DMC access obstructed by UI.
- Fixed crash due to crafting certain demo recipes.
- Fixed bandage offset bug.
- Added stack counts to container preview.
- Fixed rotated items in containers.

Comments on NEO Scavenger for Android

★★★★★ Saviours of the black order · Feb 18, 2023

Bought it on the pc and had to buy it for mobile when I found it controls take a bit to get used to but once you have it it's just as smooth amazing game

★★★★★ SLIMEBOOSTER · Apr 23, 2025

I pirated the game, but I promise to pay the full game later when I get paid

★★★★★ Mrhyimbob · Sep 25, 2022

This game is amazing I love it so much and now having it on my phone is sick. The story is so well written and the survival is really challenging but that's part of what makes it so good

★☆☆☆☆ Christian Hebero · May 11, 2025

It's fun and a great game, but I seem to see a bug or problem in game, it said that the game works better in older version of Android, and it may not work properly. Try checking for updates or contact the developer. There is also another problem the game backs itself when playing the game so when you play you can't save it because of the game backing itself I'm menu/ out of the game. Can you please reply this if it's then fixed, thank you?

★☆☆☆☆ Dale williams · Jan 10, 2023

I have this game on pc and it's amazing! The recipes for crafting don't work on this, I tried to make medium thread from small thread and it does not work

★☆☆☆☆ Loaded Lux · Sep 6, 2024
