8 itemsAbout the Game
Scraptory is an open-world sandbox strategy RPG with roguelite elements, set on a trash planet in a feudal sci-fi world.
A free-roaming factory fortress! You are the lord of a walking castle, built from the bones of a crashed asteroid mining ship. Explore and deploy almost anywhere, but choose wisely.
Death and riches rain from the sky! Race to salvage tech and materials from procedurally generated scrapfalls. Besiege them and destroy the waves of alien monsters that infest them.
Build pop-up industries and defenses! Create temporary outposts or fortified manufacturing hubs. Strategically place units to stack modifiers and tackle objectives.
Build with a simple and satisfying drag-and-snap! A good network of resource pipes is key to success.
Form a squad! Recruit vassal units that have powerful abilities. Slot them into your castle like modules. Take them for a ride, then tactically deploy and position them.
Trade on the go! Spacing Guild ships dock with your castle like giant dragonflies. Trade, make deals, or accept missions while you explore or battle. Just don’t make them angry.

Story
Your generation has never known a home where space debris didn’t rain from the sky. Once, this was an idyllic and technologically primitive planet, where the sky was the edge of the universe. Now, it is bombarded day and night by derelict spaceships and stations crashing across the land. Hazardous substances and alien monsters spill from them, devouring nearby life and infecting the soil.
The cause was a mystery until you reactivated one of the fallen machines. It started receiving automated radio transmissions from off-world, demanding strange payments and information. You answered and learned the truth. Your world was unknowingly sold as a galactic corporation's dump and containment zone for spaceships infected by an alien menace.
With the advanced machinery on board, you built a fortress, automated factory, and home. You know it is technology. But to most people, you wield magic, bargain with dark forces, and commune with the horrors from the sky.
What you do with that power is up to you. Your choices could decide the fate of your world.
