Our take on Colossus Down
Rather than following a single action format, the game combines beat'em up combat, shooting, platforming, and puzzles. Its destructive premise is paired with branching decisions, four endings, cooperative play, and an optional one-life mode.
What is Colossus Down?
Colossus Down follows Nika and Agatha on a destructive mission through a surreal world.
Nika pilots the MechaNika combat machine, while Agatha joins with the Great Bleeding Pig for two-player cooperation. Combat combines resource management with strategic combos and special attacks, including the dumbshredder, chopping tornado, groundcracker, and scarlet vomit. The game mixes beat'em up combat, shooting, platforming, and puzzles across 18 distinct levels in locations such as Neon District and Candyland. Story decisions can lead to four alternative endings, while play can use infinite lives or a permadeath mode. The campaign also includes geek references and a varied soundtrack.
