Junkyard Overdrive
One small robot. A whole scrapyard of hostile machines.
Language: English
Wishlist on SteamJunkyard Overdrive is a top-down horde survival game. You pilot a small, friendly salvage robot through a scrapyard that has turned against it, while hundreds of hostile machines close in from every side. Your weapons fire on their own: your job is to keep moving, collect scrap-energy, and choose the upgrades that keep you running. Survive the twenty-minute Magnet Sweep, beat the Warden that arrives in the final shift, and bring your scrap home to the Garage to build a stronger robot for the next run.
Five robots, five ways to play
Start as the quick Scout, the armoured Tank or the scrap-hungry Collector, then earn the blueprints for the Wrecker, built for ramming, and the Tinker, built around turrets and drones. Every robot trades one strength for a weakness, so each run plays differently.
Twelve weapons, two evolutions each
Rivet Blasters, Saw Orbiters, EMP Bursts, Cable Arcs, Scrap Sentries, Oil Igniters and more fire automatically while you steer. At level three every weapon asks you to commit to one of two permanent paths, and the right module can push it into a full evolution.
Five hostile biomes
Fight through the Scrapyard, Furnace Works, Flooded Salvage, Rail Graveyard and Circuit Breaker Plant. Each has its own terrain and hazards, from oil slicks and crushers to flooded channels, railcar lanes and timed electrical pulses, plus its own specialist bots and a mid-run field objective.
Bosses and Wardens
Boss bots like the Crusher Bot and the Shredder Crane hit with readable, telegraphed attacks and drop salvage caches when they fall. In the final shift of every Magnet Sweep, each biome sends its own Warden to finish the job.
Push your luck
Win a sweep to unlock the next of six Hazard Levels, each adding new rules: tougher bots, faster spawns, earlier events and a harsher final shift. Clear the sweep to open Endless and Salvage Contract modes, with your best records kept for every robot and biome.
