Death Trash: An Old-School Action RPG on the Wasteland Planet Nexus
Overview
Death Trash, developed by Crafting Legends, is an action-RPG set in a post-apocalyptic world on the planet Nexus. Humanity’s attempt to conquer this alien world has led to its downfall, with the remnants of human civilization confined to enclosed habitats while the vast, hostile wastelands are left to the outcasts. Launched in Early Access, the game has garnered praise for its retro design, engaging RPG mechanics, and cooperative multiplayer mode.
Gameplay
In Death Trash, you experience the action from an isometric perspective as you traverse the open-world planet Nexus. Your character, customizable from the start, navigates through treacherous deserts, ancient ruins, and forsaken installations. The game combines classic action-RPG elements with modern twists, allowing you to engage enemies with melee weapons and firearms or opt for dialogue options to avoid conflict. The co-op multiplayer mode enables two players to explore the wasteland together, each making independent choices and interactions, adding depth to the cooperative experience.
Story Summary

The indigenous alien race forced humans into enclosed habitats after the planet’s depths revealed their dangerous nature. As one of the outcasts—those deemed too violent to integrate into society—you’re tasked with exploring the planet’s hostile environment to uncover the truth behind the conflict between humans and aliens.
