Death Trash

Early access forever, its been years now. Updates are more of a life-support system to keep the page functional as a source of passive income. The game has a great premise and a lot has been delivered... but needs to be more transparent perhaps.

Is the game going to be a good game? Absolutely. This is a review of Early Access. Unfortunately it's taking way too long for updates, yes there have been many but they haven't added enough in the time frame. Leave it on the wishlist for another few years.

Great game, story, art, and overall gameplay. Just waiting on more updates! The Perished City Beta was good and I can't wait for new locations.

i forgot i had this game. Last played 2021 lol and its still in early access. Just Wishlist this game and wait till its done, if it ever gets done

Cool setting and art work but I beat the game in 7 hrs 4 YEARS AGO and since then there has barely been any changes. Honestly insulting that they are still selling it for $30 AUD

great game, loving it. lots of gameplay, even though it isn't finished.

Really good game, world building, writing, combat, exploration.

I don't recommend buying it even with a discount. The game has very little content. I completed everything in 15 hours. For a game that positions itself as an RPG, this amount of content is very, very little. New update 5 quests, in one of them you are forced to go to the location again, maximum 3 large locations with enemies in an almost empty city for almost 3 years of waiting and... And that's it? The rest of the locations are just jokes, memes and a very banal demonstration of history. Research is only needed so that you can collect notes. And that's it. I understand that the visuals take a lot of time, but I want to see at least some new content for 10$ waiting for a bunch of years, and not an art book. I completed the city in an evening. The silent ones (NPCs filling the city) reflect the entire update. You need to look at all this silently. Beautiful, but there is very little content. It's cool to see a new boss, but he is very easy to kill in the south of the arena if you lead him around the column. It looks like the Tower, stretched in width. I need to, I don't know, replay the game and then I will feel the atmosphere? A few years later came out - THE REAL Perished City. If ONE CITY was filled with content so poorly, I'm afraid to imagine what will happen next. I'll remove the negative review when, most likely, when I have grandkids.

Game is dope, looking forward to seeing how it progresses. If you want something finished or soon to be finished don't buy it, but they deserve your $ for making something awesome. Honestly, I won't be upset if it gets abandoned. Sad, but not upset, what's there is great. I just check in yearly to see what's up.

Death Trash is undercooked, to put it mildly. Combat feels bad, skills are often underpowered or outright useless, input recognition of some skills is sloppy. Environments, while having cool art, are very repetitive, the tiling system does the art no favours. Music and sounds are basic, not bad but too little. Combat sounds are too bland. The writing, story, lore, is not explaining the world, but also not creating mystery. It just sits there, telling you to do stuff and that this iteration of the same underground tileset was a mine. Quest design is, fetching. Thats it. Scripting of interesting stuff is not there. I followed someone, once. There are no choices in Quests, at all. No conundrums, no ethical or political ideas, no branching paths, no riddles. The Overworld map is empty, no exploration to be had, except finding the same tileset again, or a random encounter with the same 3 enemy types. UI is okay, again, undercooked, a bit messy, a bit unorganized. Same goes for loot/items to find. Not much, what is there has usually no flavor text. Its just, "plastic trash" or "artworks". The one thing that is good are individual pixel art pieces in the world. The overworld map looks great. The fleshthingies intersected with technology look great. I don't really regret giving these two dudes the money for the game. I really hope the are able to finish this into a coherent piece of interactive art, but right now it isn't even a diamond in the rough. It's an alpha. Even the very first areas need lots and lots of polish and additions to feel like Fallout or Drova or Hyper Light Drifter. After 4 hours I got sent into a dungeon that was so bland, so samey, so underwritten that I just stopped and uninstalled it. IF this gets finished it is probably years away from full release.

One of those incredibly exciting projects that Im happy to watch cook. Played the hell of out of the demo and have been trying to make time to start a new play-through but it seems every time I consider it Stephen pushes out a nice big update haha. Very much a "when the time is right to start my playthrough" for me. Anyway, Death Trash is special and well worth your 20 bucks even if you don't necessarily dive super deep into while its still in Early Access.

It’s been four years since I last played this game. I revisited it by chance recently, only to find that after all these years, it’s still in beta? Personally, I really like this game — the worldbuilding, the gameplay mechanics, and the art style all appeal to me. But I seriously question whether the dev team has a clear development plan. Do you have a yearly content target? A rough timeline for how many years it’ll take to reach a full release? So far, even though there are patch updates every few months, they’re mostly just bug fixes. There’s a lack of steady, meaningful content updates. To be honest, I didn’t pay ￥80 just to buy a glorified demo. If the team doesn’t have the capacity to finish the game in the near future, the least you could do is share a roadmap — what kind of new content we can expect each year, and how many more years it might take. Or... do you not even know yourselves when this game will actually be finished?

Has been playing the game for 11 hrs at M1 Mac without any problems. Like it much. But one day it just became unplayable (can hear sounds but the image is monocolored pic). Uninstall/install, updates, betas doesn`t work. Support Page for M1 Mac: wait for steam update. How long? Cause I can`t play for more than a couple of months because of some kind of a technical issue. Fix it - will change the review.

At launch it was aight, but god dam they keep adding so much content. Goated developers

Please work harder and complete this game, there is no deadline but there is expectation and our money spent on it.

i cannot stress enough how absolutly amazing this game is. if you like rpgs of any kind i implore you to get this game. you wont be able to forget it

Waste not, want not.

good
