Source facts
What is the core gameplay loop of Scrapline?
The game is a third-person wave-survival roguelite. You fight through 20 waves of rogue robots, collect salvage from defeated enemies, level up by choosing stat upgrades, and visit the supply station to purchase items before the next wave begins.
Before starting a run, you must select one of four weapon aspects: Bounce, Turrets, Burn, or Blast. Note that these aspects do not mix; once you choose one, weapon mods for the other three aspects will stop appearing on the supply shelf.
What are the differences between the four weapon aspects?
Bounce makes rounds ricochet between enemies. Turrets deploy automated guns that fire at your targets. Burn sets enemies on fire, spreading damage to neighbors upon death. Blast uses grenades that deal area-of-effect damage to all enemies within the explosion radius.
After every wave, you visit the supply station to spend salvage on items. You can reroll the four available slots or lock an item to save it for the next wave. Many items feature trade-offs, increasing one stat while decreasing another.
What is the benefit of playing as the Landlord character?
The Landlord earns interest on held salvage at the start of each wave and deals more damage the more salvage you carry. However, the drawback is that items are more expensive and enemies drop less salvage overall.
How does the Anchor character's movement affect combat?
The Anchor character is significantly stronger while standing still, making them ideal for holding ground during waves. However, they become much weaker once you start moving, so you must carefully manage your positioning to maximize their combat effectiveness.
What are the risks of choosing the Vampire character?
The Vampire offers high lifesteal, allowing you to regain health through combat. The cost is that you have no natural health regeneration and your HP will slowly drain over time, forcing you to stay aggressive to survive.
Once you clear wave 20, you can choose to enter Endless mode. In this mode, the difficulty continues to rise indefinitely, allowing you to keep playing to challenge your own high score and see how long you can survive.
Salvage is dropped by robots you kill during a wave. To collect it, you must move your character close to the dropped items, at which point the salvage will fly toward you, allowing you to gather resources for the supply station.
Does the game support saving progress during a run?
Yes, the game features a Save Anytime mechanic, allowing you to pause your progress and return to your run later. This is helpful for managing the 20-wave survival sessions or longer Endless mode attempts at your own pace.
