About Schrott
Schrott is a roguelite racing game from Ivy Juice Games that launched on PC in November 2025. It blends chaotic vehicle customization with arcade-style speed runs. You pilot a junkyard-made machine through procedurally generated tracks, smashing obstacles, collecting loot, and pulling off stunts to earn points. The game’s single-player focus means every run is a fresh mix of destruction and creativity. With its slapstick physics and absurd vehicle designs, it leans into the grind of upgrading your hulking, mismatched car while balancing risk and reward. Think of it as Hot Wheels meets a junkyard brawler, fast, messy, and intentionally over-the-top.
Gameplay
Each session starts with a basic car that you tweak using parts scavenged mid-run. You’ll attach anything from rocket boosters to lawnmower blades, which drastically alter handling. The goal is to reach checkpoints while avoiding crashes, as respawning resets your progress slightly. Stunts like backflips or mid-air spins earn multiplier points, incentivizing reckless driving. Controls are twitchy but responsive, requiring quick adjustments to keep your unwieldy rig on track. Tracks mix highways, forests, and urban sprawl, with dynamic weather and hazards. You’ll spend more time repairing dents than driving smoothly, but that’s part of the charm. Progress unlocks new parts and blueprints, but mastery comes from learning which bizarre combos let you speed ahead without turning into scrap.
What Players Think
Schrott holds a 4.1/5 rating from PlayPile users, with 78% completing the core campaign. Average playtime is 12 hours, though 32% of players report frustration due to the game’s punishing difficulty curve. Community moods skew split: 68% entertained, 25% annoyed, and 7% bored. Review snippets highlight its “hilariously destructive fun” but also “grindy progression.” The game has 45 achievements, with 71% of players earning at least 10. Top-earned badges focus on stunt chains and part collection, while rare ones require completing runs with specific broken-down vehicles. Critics praise its creativity but note repetitive late-game content.
PlayPile's Take
Schrott is best for players who enjoy chaotic customization and don’t mind frequent failures. At $29.99, it offers moderate replay value, especially for the 45 achievements. The price is fair for the core experience but doesn’t justify repeated purchases. If you like arcade racing with a junkyard twist and can tolerate its grindy upgrades, it’s worth a playthrough. Avoid if you prefer polished, skill-based racing or dislike punishing respawns. The game’s niche charm works best in short bursts, making it a solid pick for $30 but not a long-term commitment.
