Death Trash Review: First Impressions

The goal of Death Trash is to bring peace to the planet of Nexus where machines, mutants, and monsters wreak havoc.

In the Death Trash universe, humanity has traveled to the stars and found the planet of Nexus.

Machines were installed as protectors on Nexus, but they have been corrupted and now terrorize anyone still alive.

You play as a raider that walks through the desert wasteland fighting mutants and merely surviving.

Fate has led you to an Oracle who changes the path you walk on. You edge closer towards the war against the machines to save humanity on the planet of Nexus.

The game acts as a pixelated version of fallout 1 where you are walking through a post-apocalyptic world trying to loot what you can and level up through side missions and grinding enemies.

There is enough dialogue, puzzles, and exciting NPCs to keep you engaged while exploring the world and leveling up your character.

Like earlier fallout games, you have a map that you travel through to find undiscovered locations, villages, and main story areas.

As you walk through the map, you can get ambushed by random enemies, which creates a small level for you to battle in.

This sets you up for surprise combat where every corner of the map could lead to a deadly end or unexpected rare loot.

The game has a basic leveling up system that allows you to customize your character through stat increases, a straightforward inventory system, and all the weapons you can find.

Loot what you can, and then trade it at the local Machine Merchant to get the best gear in the wasteland.

You can turn your character into a brawling close-quarter-combat specialist with a spiked bat or a sword or focus on ranged combat with small pistol arms or medium-to-long-range rifles.

Death Trash is an exciting cRPG game that has you explore the wasteland, fighting robots, mutants, and psychics to discover the evil that created this apocalypse.

Your goal is to save villages and learn more about the machines once controlled the planet and are now the cause for its destruction.
