Press release:
Mountain Giant PR (Edinburgh, UK) – March 23rd, 2021.
The New York-based indie games publisher and game developer Razbury Games, are today very thrilled and happy to announce that they have just launched a Kickstarter campaign for their upcoming award-winning co-op RPG/card crawler “Wastenauts” (which is set for a PC release via Steam sometime in 2022).

Get yourself a crew, join the campaign, and help take back our home from bots and scavs!

Join the other Divers in the Wastenauts Alpha by backing the Kickstarter campaign: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/razburygames/wastenauts

Retake Earth – one scrapyard at a time!

Humanity has been chased off the surface by possessed machines and now lives in giant flying cityships, from where insane reckless brave salvage teams descend to gather whatever resources they can get their hands on: Divers!

How to play Wastenauts

1. Swoop!

Start a session with up to three friends, and pick your unique squad of Divers. Together, jump off the ship and hit the surface – but make every moment count. You’ll only have a few days before the next ship arrives to pick you back up.

2. Scrap!

Each day of Wastenauts is broken into two phases: Exploration and Camp.

Exploration

During the exploration phase, players take turns drawing cards from a shared zone deck. Loot and resources get added to your hand, events require some choices to be made, and of course monsters need to be fought. Use abilities from your hand to boost your damage, and then roll dice to deal damage to the bots and scavs you find in the deck.

Camp

After every team draws their cards, play turns to the camp phase. Think of camp as “returning to town” in your favorite dungeon crawler – here you’ll be able to trade items with your party members, and strategize for the next exploration phase. Certain abilities will allow you to make the most of your camp phase, including scouting the deck, crafting, healing, and more.

3. Scram!

When your days are up, only one thing stands between you and the cityship – every deck has a boss that you’ve attracted with your clanging about. Use every tool you’ve got in an all-out fight, because if you lose here, you’ll be heading skyside empty-handed.

4. Step it up!

After each session, use your loot to purchase new cards for the next trip – abilities, blueprints, and even monsters to add to the deck and make it harder. The harder your next dive, the better the rewards!
