Anomaly Collapse is a 2024 turn-based strategy roguelite video game developed by RocketPunch Games, and published by Spiral Up Games. The game was released on April 12, 2024, for Microsoft Windows,[1] followed by a Nintendo Switch port set for July 17, 2025.[2]

Development

[edit]

Anomaly Collapse is developed by RocketPunch Games, an independent game development studio from China.

The game was announced in September 2023, albeit no release date was given.[3] In October the same year, a limited 2-week global playtest was launched lasting from October 17 until 31.[4]

Prior to its launch, from January 10 to April 11 of 2024, the game had a limited-run free demo.[5] In March the same year, the companies announced its release date as April 12.[1] In April 2025, a Nintendo Switch port was announced.[6] In July the same year, RocketPunch announced a July 17 release.[7][2]

Reception

[edit]

Isaac Todd, from Rice Digital, praised the cutesy visuals and combat system, but criticized some "balancing issues" and that it "doesn’t do the best job of onboarding new players."[8]
