Death Trash for Windows

A top-down RPG filled with cosmic horrors

Death Trash is an action video game developed by Crafting Legends for PC devices. It is a top-down RPG set in a post-apocalyptic cyberpunk wasteland filled with horrific and gruesome creatures and abominations. It features hand-crafted pixel art graphics and allows for two-player co-op campaign gameplay.

Death Trash is quite similar to another top-down game called, HellSign. Both share the same penchant for gory and gruesome gameplay. The game is expected to come out in Early Access on August 5, 2021, for PC. Meanwhile, a demo version is also available on Steam for players who want to try it out.

What is Death Trash all about?

Death Trash is an open-world single-player RPG boasting pixel art graphics and an aesthetic design inspired by the works of H.P. Lovecraft. In it, humanity finds itself traveling the stars and settling on a planet called Nexus, with all its ancient secrets of stone and flesh. Machines were installed to serve as protectors, but instead, they became corrupted and cast down terror on their makers. It's up to you to stop the chaos and bring peace once again.

You play as a raider from the ruins of the past on a quest to stop the impending war among factions within the planet. Gameplay in Death Trash is fast and fluid, with simple controls that facilitate switching between melee and ranged combat on the fly. It also incorporates RPG elements, including attributes, skills, and a crafting system to go with psi powers that you will acquire throughout the game.

Lastly, while Death Trash is a most single-player affair, you can opt to play its main campaign in split-screen local co-op mode with two players. Together with its demo version, the game is also set to release in Early Access on August 5, 2021. The main story campaign is yet to be completed. According to its devs, this current state will be a year-long run before its official release.

Odd, gross, and funny

Let's get this out of the way first. Death Trash won't be for everybody. While its pixel art style is strikingly beautiful, its gruesome and gross presentation might irk some players. Those willing to take the plunge and give it a go, though, will experience an odd but surprisingly intriguing story. Couple that with fast and fluid combat, and you get a good game with the potential for being great when it gets finished and released.
