Scrapland is the sad remnant of the earth plundered by humans and then abandoned because it has become uninhabitable. The people left - but the robots came, who then gave the asteroid the appropriate name due to its devastated condition: scrap land. This name is particularly appropriate because the remains of countless stranded spaceships are scattered all over the asteroid.

One day the main character of the story lands on Scrapland: the robot D-Tritus. He assembled himself in a distant junkyard and then set off to explore the universe. In Kimera, the city of robots, after a brief security check (humans or humanoid beings have no business in Scrapland), a guard robot sends him to the town hall to register there and to seek work.

The only vacancy in all of Kimera is that of a photo reporter, a job no one has wanted to take on before. In this capacity, D-Tritus is supposed to conduct an interview with the archbishop, although it is an open secret that the archbishop never gives interviews. So D-Tritus has to leave without having achieved anything - and only really gets caught up in the vortex of events, because a short time later the archbishop is murdered by an unknown being who is believed to have been human should.

Death is not a bad thing on Scrapland, because thanks to the large database (GDB) found by the robots in one of the stranded spaceships, every dead robot can be brought back to life as long as its data is in the GDB. But precisely these are missing in the case of the murdered archbishop or have been overwritten, and thus his death would be a final one.

So D-Tritus is supposed to find out what the whole thing is about, why the police removed evidence from the crime scene, and has tons to do to clear the Kimera swamp of corruption, crime, gambling and whatever of evil machinations to dry up.

Gameplay

D-Tritus is able to transform into almost any other robot, each with its own set of skills. For example, D-Tritus can sprint forward in a straight line (and dismantle every robot on the way), while messengers can fly and fire lightning bolts that blind other robots. For the missions in the airspace over the city, D-Tritus uses up to nine individually combinable spaceships. In addition to fighting, he also competes in races. Throughout the game you also have the opportunity to upgrade your armament by making so-called “crazy bets”. To do this, you first have to complete three smaller tasks before you start a special fight or race in an arena.
