Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players who want large battlefields with extensive movement may find the one-dimensional grid restrictive.
- Players who prefer fixed combat conditions may dislike events that change the battlefield during encounters.
- Players looking for a puzzle game or direct-action combat may find the turn-based squad battles a mismatch.
Our take on Anomaly Collapse
Players who depend on broad movement options may hit a wall as soon as battles begin: the one-dimensional grid limits positioning choices, making flanks, back attacks, and cornering the main tactical tools.
What is Anomaly Collapse?
Anomaly Collapse is a turn-based roguelite strategy game built around battles on a one-dimensional grid.
Movement is limited, so positioning enemies for flanks, back attacks, or corners is central to combat. A squad has three fighter slots, and each character brings a distinct class and traits. Artifacts called abnormalities add active or passive effects; players can collect and combine them to shape a battle strategy. The game also features changing battlefield events that can alter combat conditions, along with character backstories and a story about supernatural disasters and otherworldly beings. Players plan each turn and adapt their squad and tactics as encounters shift.
