PixelJunk™ Scrappers Deluxe

[quote][url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/33401179/]Follow my curator page for more reviews![/url][/quote] What could be a solid co-op Beat 'Em Up is made frustrating by baffling design choices that should've been obvious to the developers during development. Just play one of the many other great games in the genre like Castle Crashers, Scott Pilgrim, Charlie Murder, or Streets of Rage 4. PixelJunk Scrappers Deluxe is primarily a co-op game (but can be played solo), yet you can't access the map screen (stage select) in co-op. At all. Your only option after each level is to either go to the next one or exit to the main menu. Because of this you also can't visit the store while playing with friends. You have to exit, go into single-player, then you can visit the store and unlock new weapons or cosmetics. Your friends need to do the same because they can't access any of what the host has unlocked. Each stage has challenges to complete that are required to unlock further stages. If you don't have enough completed then you need to go back and replay a stage. However, since you can't visit the map screen in co-op and your only option is to keep going forward to the next stage…

This actually sounded interesting and I've been a big fan of the PixelJunk series since the original Eden and Monsters games were released on PS3. But Q-Games sneakily left out this game tried to install the Epic Games Store/Launcher upon first play of this game. To me this is unacceptable so this game was uninstalled and Steam did offer a refund but until the Epic requirements are removed, this will not be in my Steam library.

PixelJunk™ Scrappers Deluxe is a colorful and chaotic action brawler developed and published by Q-Games Ltd. that fuses classic beat-’em-up combat with an unconventional garbage-collecting twist. Set in the vibrant dystopian world of Junktown, the game casts players as Scrappers—robot sanitation workers tasked with cleaning up the city’s endless piles of trash while fending off rival gangs who want the scrap for themselves. The result is a fast-paced, arcade-style experience that thrives on cooperative chaos, strategic stacking, and the simple satisfaction of hurling junk into a waiting compactor truck. At its core, the gameplay loop revolves around collecting garbage and depositing it into a moving trash truck before time runs out. Items scattered throughout each stage range from small debris to massive objects like appliances and machinery. The bigger the object—or the larger the stack of objects you carry—the higher the reward. However, larger stacks are slower to carry and easier to disrupt when enemies attack, creating a constant risk-versus-reward dynamic. Players must decide whether to play it safe with smaller loads or gamble on massive stacks for higher point payouts. Thi…

Highly recommended. very unique and creative design. I can see developers effort in balancing out singleplayer and multiplayer mode which is very nice. [b] Benefit from singleplayer [/b]: Very easy to get 3 star in all stages compare to coop mode. I feel like I get better score in singleplayer mode by a lot. Plus everytime player try to throw a trashes stack in the trash car to get score/money combo. that trashes stack will try to calibrate its direction to get in the trash car if your throw miss the trash car by a little bit, resulting in less punishment game play. All boss fight and "no death" stage quest is easier in singleplayer too as boss has less hp and a chance of player die is lower (only 1 player). And there is a way too "heal" player in the stage but only heal 1 player who activate it. [b] Disadventage of singleplayer [/b]: your coop friend will be replaced with da cute robot which cant help you fight enemies. it can only help you collected some trashes and sometimes try to throw them at you (sometimes it miss making all robot's trash stack loss) [b] Benefit from Coop [/b]: Yay fren :D Imma telling you seeing your freind throwing a trashes stack of 20+ trashes to …
