OtherIs Scrapnaut worth it for you?
We tell you who should skip it, too.
Play it if you…
Good fit- Survival game players who want to manage oxygen alongside base building
- Co-op players who want to explore and build together online
- Players who enjoy farming and cooking as part of survival
Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking a fast-paced action loop rather than resource gathering and base development
- Players who want a tightly linear campaign instead of open-world exploration and base building
- Players looking for a combat-focused game, since the description emphasizes survival tasks and says stronger opponents may require retreat
Our take on Scrapnaut
A solo game can be switched to online co-op, so the play mode need not be chosen permanently at the start.
What is Scrapnaut?
Scrapnaut is a top-down survival game with base building and steampunk elements, playable alone or in online co-op.
Explore an open world with different biomes while managing oxygen, growing food, and producing meals with a cooking pot. Gather resources to build a base, repair damaged items, and complete quests. Bases can produce and store electrical energy, and enemy raids call for preparation. Each biome has unique items to build. Players can also create and improve equipment, including weapons and armor, and can switch a solo game to online cooperation.
