About This Game

Raid cursed dungeons, claim powerful loot, and escape before it's too late. Scum's Errand is a top-down roguelite horde shooter with extraction mechanics where every run makes you stronger, but greed can cost you everything.

Fast-paced top-down shooting against relentless hordes. Dash through waves of monsters, manage your ammo, and keep moving. Standing still is a death sentence.

Make your own scum. Choose your look, colors, and style before every descent. Show up in style, even if you don't make it back.

Slot cards that amplify your relics and weapons in unexpected ways. The right combination can turn a simple revolver into a death machine, or make your relics spiral out of control. Every run, a new build.

Four weapon categories, each built for a different situation: Revolvers for precise shots, Shotguns for close-quarters carnage, SMGs for sustained fire, and Machine Guns for overwhelming force. Find what fits your run, and master it.

You can extract at any time and keep everything you've found. Or push deeper, fight harder, and gamble it all for greater rewards. One wrong move and you lose everything. The choice is always yours.

  • Random Generated Maps: Explore ever-changing dungeon layouts where no runs are the same.

  • Great Enemy Variety: Battle swarming creatures, sneaky assassins, deadly ranged healers, powerful buffers, and stunning tanks in a relentless never-ending onslaught.

  • High Replayability: New maps, loot, builds, and encounters keep every run fresh.

  • Risk vs Reward Decisions: Extract with your riches or push deeper for greater rewards.

  • Build Diversity: Combine weapons, relics, and buffs into powerful playstyles.

  • Character Customization: Unlock cosmetics and create a scum that looks like your own.
