Ablahshikar is a maximalist, sickos only salvage-survival CRPG about ripping organs out of warships and pawning off strange goods that's now out in early access

Ablahshikar, a turn-based salvage-survival CRPG, launched in early access on Steam. The game tasks players with ripping organs out of enemy warships to rebuild their own vessel into what the developer calls a "doomed chimera" adrift on the Candle Sea.

The game blends multiple gameplay styles. Players pilot a strange, ancient ship in an arcade fashion, engage in dungeon crawling similar to Caves of Qud with keyboard-based movement, and experience cutscenes styled like a video game from the year 2200 designed by someone from 1200.

The developer uses archaic and obscure language on the Steam page, intentionally leaving the world untranslated for players to decipher themselves. This approach mirrors Hylics, where the game does not translate itself for its audience.

Ablahshikar costs less than five pounds during early access. The developer plans to raise the price after the early access period ends in roughly two months.
