Wreckdigger

Wreckdigger is a Metroidvania with a non-linear story. You play as Baxter, a rebel fighter on the losing side of a war against the New Empire. After barely surviving his last battle, Baxter was placed in a metal body to keep him alive. Now stranded on Alura, he scavenges fallen spacecraft while searching for his long-lost father, whom the Empire took away.

The conflict

The New Empire and the rebels continue fighting over the outer borders of known space. The Empire is trying to conquer the last free people living behind the space borders. Baxter also faces Mr. Fats and his Scavenger goons, as he works to keep dangerous technology out of the Empire’s hands.

Explore and survive

You can explore the world in different ways to progress through the story. Fight enemies and several bosses, and hide from the Scavenger Destroyer that is after Baxter. Choose from several weapons; Baxter’s armor also has a power beam in its chest.

Baxter needs fuel for his jetpack and food when he gets hungry. You can buy food at a Caffe in the wastelands, purchase items from merchants and collect coins. Use items from your inventory to solve quests.
