How it feels

A post-apocalyptic sandbox where you gather resources, build and upgrade bases, farm, and cook, with optional co-op and a cautious approach to overwhelming enemies.

What players say

Players find Scrapnaut a cozy but short survival sandbox, built from inexpensive parts and friendly for a quick playthrough. Some say it is harder than it looks and point to repetitive running and primitive combat. Others call the design undercooked, especially compared to similar games, and reviews split on whether the price justifies the rough edges.
