Scrapland demo

Editors' ReviewDownload.com staffMarch 24, 2016In this intriguing blend of action and adventure, you play D-Tritus, an intergalactic traveler drawn into a murder mystery. You hack the Great Database to assume the identity of any of 15 robot types, each with unique abilities. Along with the third-person adventure fun, Scrapland lets you customize spaceships that race and battle in an immersive urban environment. A solid interface, impressive graphics, and the effective mix of the different modes of gameplay make for a compelling experience. The included single-player mission provides an excellent introduction, letting you try different aspects of the game on a mission-based path. Some of the tasks require immediate completion, but you can tackle others at your own pace, freeing you to explore the world. Multiplayer games are simple to create or join, and the two maps show the variety in combat arenas. The language is slightly harsh, with curse words barely bleeped out and a few less-offensive ones sneaking through. Unfortunately, neither the demo nor the publisher's Web site lists system requirements, but our guess is 1GHz CPU, 256MB RAM, and 32MB VRAM. All things considered, this Scrapland preview got us excited for the full game, a sure sign of a great demo.
