Our take on Trashed
Rather than treating construction as preparation for combat alone, the game makes waste processing the center of its strategy layer. Exploration, vehicles, terraforming, and creature battles are arranged around running and expanding an interplanetary refuse operation.
What is Trashed?
Trashed combines waste management with planetary exploration and combat.
From a top-down, third-person perspective, players construct incinerators, recycling facilities, robots, turrets, and other structures, then defend them with weapons found or purchased on each planet. Vehicles provide faster travel and can push waste into processing equipment. The game includes a day-and-night cycle, planet terraforming, strategy-based construction, exploration, collectible items, and missions and contracts tied to an evolving storyline. As the operation grows, challenges extend to other planets. Three planets are available to explore, each with special weapons and upgrades. The story also involves a hidden threat on the planet surface and the restoration of environmental conditions.
