Our take on Garbage Crew!
Rather than centering on a single action role, the game mixes garbage collection, firefighting, forest work, and combat into timed co-op runs. Its medieval siege setting carries those work tasks into a second setting instead of replacing them with a separate campaign structure.
What is Garbage Crew!?
Garbage Crew!
is a multiplayer-only roguelike action game for two to four players. Crews empty garbage cans and containers while handling extra jobs such as fighting fires and working in forests. A garbage truck keeps moving, so the team must coordinate tasks and reach each level’s goal in time. The game shifts from city work to a medieval setting under siege, where players take on knightly combat alongside their other duties. Levels are randomized, with two settings and changing events that call for adjustments during a run. Money earned from runs can be spent on powerups for later attempts. Play is available as local co-op or through Steam Remote Play Together. A controller is required, including for remote play.
