For the most part, I think this roguelite platformer is a lot of fun, but it kinda feels like a nice flash game when it comes to controls and combat. You can choose between 4 characters that share the same loot chest and skill tree - not a huge fan of that because playing one character essentially powers-up everyone else. Each hero has a different ranged and a melee weapon, unique passives, and active skills which are unlocked by equipping ability items. I did not get to test the online co-op because nobody plays this game, but I definitely think that multiplayer in roguelites is an awesome feature. I like almost everything that it has to offer, the only major problem for me is dealing with spam, sometimes there are too many colorful effects on the screen that make it hard to dodge. The game has a decent loot system which includes an inventory where you can modify both of your weapons and armor. There are many active and passive items that also get additional effects based on rarity. ...

About This Game
In Collapsed you play as one of 4 unique Hunters who have to track down their prey. Each one has its own set of abilities, skills and combat style. You’ll have to travel through hazardous procedurally-generated levels, fighting dozens of enemy types and challenging bosses. This post-apocalyptic world is filled with useful items, that you’ll combine to gain new traits, and with experience points, you’ll invest in a vast skill tree. And you won’t lose all of your precious treasure when you’ll die! You’ll die a lot, and start from the beginning each time – but all of your loot and items are carried to your next run.

Its alright, the controls are slightly uncomfortable. The areas are very uninspiring. Its your usual randomly generated affair. From my short time playing I tried 2 classes, entered a second biome and killed a boss. Unlocked a little in the skill tree. The skill tree consists mostly of upgrades I didnt really care to unlock. It looks like someone tried, but to me it fell flat. Theres a lot better roguelikes out there. The one saving grace for this would be the multiplayer, but I did not want to convince my friend who would want to play it, to buy it. Because it just wasnt good enough for me to encourage him to spend his money on this.
I just spent an hour writing a great review. But this new shi**y steam ate it. so now i am making a lousy short one. The game is polished, beautiful, and has great gameplay. Controls are responsive, and feels good. Enemies and bosses are unique, and looks great. There is a big skilltree with a good amout of unlocks and things to work for. But it has next to no content. I beat act one in 3 hours. but then found out the other 9 acts are complete copies of the first one. Mobs, bosses, maps. They are all the same. Only difference is you get a little bit more of a conversation for ever time you beat an act. So i basically beat the game in 3 hours. The other 9 acts are just a grind to keep you playing. The story is non existant, Its hidden in special messages that are all randomised around the maps, so there is really no way to put it together since you don't know where it starts and where it ends. There are 4 playable classes, all with there own unique weapons that you cannot switch out...
So until today I did not knew anything bout this game, nor have I vene heard from it. My friend told me about it and we instantly bought it. Now, some hours later we are both addicted! If you decide to play this, make sure you are confident with losing and start over and over from the beginning, because this is challenging. I hope the Dev´s keep this up and add some patches for this game to make it even better.
Obviously, people are drawing the comparison between this and Dead Cells, and even Enter The Gungeon. While the game does have a similar aesthetic to Dead Cells, I don't think it's all that similar to either of them. The game has fluid controls, solid combat, and even some tight platforming. The loot drops are really cool and I like that they stay between runs. Skill tree is huge and reminds of an MMORPG with the amount of skills available. Pros: Good progression Good challenge level Great aesthetic Great item drops and characters Cons: Meh game feel Wish I had could look around more with the camera Overall pretty good, and I'll continue to play for a while.
oh you didn't hear? enter the gungeon and dead cells had a baby!
Progression system feels a little bit obnoxious due to the seemingly inefficient farming you have to go through, but the gameplay itself is very good and the movement is fluid which makes killing things all the more satisfying. Hopefully the devs will add more content in terms of maps and varying level design in the near future and perhaps maybe make the farming a little easier and the skill tree more exciting.
I did not like the game. "Collapsed" has too little content, but lots of flaws: the movement is choppy, the AI is dumb, the visual design is simplistic, the firefights quickly become a mess while the melee can be trivialized by stacking the opponents at one spot, most of the items are garbage you would not even check the stats of, and the bosses are way too easy and predictable.
Sort of expected something in between Sundered and Dead Cells but got a big disappointment. It's really unintuitive designed and the game doesn't tell you what to do, so you have to figure every clunky mechanic out by yourself. Weapons and soundtrack feel boring. Level design is nice though. Anyway didn't have fun playing it.
I like this game, it is a lot like Dead cells yet with its own unique style. solid and difficult. A big yes from me. Plus I love the graphics.
