About Death Trash
✦ AI summary
Blast through a hand-painted post-apocalyptic wasteland as an outcast punk fighting cosmic horrors, machines, and worms in this deep RPG that blends old-school role-playing with modern controls and real-time combat. Death Trash gives you total freedom to tackle its handcrafted story campaign however you want—talk your way through, go full stealth, murder everyone, befriend the monsters, or find your own path, with full local co-op support throughout.
Death Trash features a world where cosmic horrors long for humanity but meet punks with shotguns. Influenced by post-apocalyptic, horror, and cyberpunk classics but with a fresh personality of its own. Death Trash combines the crunch and depth of old-school, role-playing classics with the controls and game feel of modern games.
Gameplay
Death Trash is an open-world, singleplayer role-playing game with handcrafted levels, a strong story campaign and optional local co-op gameplay.
The game features real-time gameplay with ranged and melee combat, stealth, multiple choice dialogue, an inventory of items and worms, a crafting system, and skills like pickpocketing and puking.
Travel through a gritty, post-apocalyptic wasteland by world map and explore hand-painted, organic locations. Meet exciting characters, talk to the Fleshkraken, visit the Puke Bar, or descend into old temples in search of expanding your awareness.
Customize your own character through stats and making in-game decisions. Experience the story and discover side quests. Fight against machines and larger-than-life monsters. Or become their friend.
Death Trash features extensive player freedom:
- manual save games
- dialogue can be left anytime
- kill everyone or...
- don't kill anyone!
Story
Humans traveled to the stars and some of them settled on the planet Nexus with its ancient secrets of stone and flesh. But secrets were unearthed, and the civilized people had to flee into enclosed habitats. The wasteland is reigned now by outcasts, controlling machines, and offsprings of the worm.
You are one of the outcasts, pushed outside with a dangerous burden to carry, and your path will take you through deserts, ruins, the underground, and beyond.
Singleplayer / Multiplayer Details
The main feature of Death Trash is the immersive single-player campaign. But the game also contains a local co-op mode:
- Covering the full campaign. The second player can drop in and drop out anytime.
- Second player has their own character, stats, inventory etc. but shared quest progress.
- Both players are restricted to the same location and traveling on the world map happens together.
- Both players can perform actions separately, including dialogue, and don't interrupt each other.
- The game has a shared screen mode (default) and a permanent split screen mode.
We're not planning an online co-op mode due to limited development resources. We will evaluate this again in the future.
Steam Remote Play Together will be possible.

Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Bought it the instant it launched because i loved the setting and art style. But the game's been in the development for like 11 years atp and still is a nothing burger. A shame that it will never be finished, specially because the devs are more worried about replying to people complaining about the slow development cycle, than finishing their fking game.11 found this helpful
Been in early access since 2022.9 found this helpful
Holy early access heck. This game will come out after the world ends, been in early access for what feels like almost 10 years at this point. I don't think it's ever coming out save your money.3 found this helpful
The juiciest art direction imaginable and satisfying gameplay.
Great game. The premise and promise found in the trailer of this game delivers. It is actually as cool as it looks. Full stop that's all you need to know. But heres some more details - Themes/Atmosphere: If you see the trailer you'll see how this is a really strong point. This is a Weird Horror/Cronenbergy, punky, gritty post apocalyptic wasteland with a strong story/plot and weird and memorable characters. THE MEAT. Mechanics: The combat feels right, the movement, the interractions. Swinging feels weighty and satisfying. Its easy to get swarmed and you get punished for being careless but its never unfair. Overall: It has all the makings of a classic. Buuuuut all people want to talk about is the speed of updates and progress toward release. I understand the impatience to a degree, but seriously even at an unfinished state its one of the most memorable games Ive ever played. I encourage this one guy to keep going you are making something truly amazing.
Somewhere between Borderlands 1 and Dark Souls is Death Trash.
