About Claustrophobia: The Downward Struggle
Claustrophobia: The Downward Struggle is a Tactical RPG Roguelike, most heavily inspired by the combination of procedural gear and enemy generation found in games such as Diablo and Torchlight, with traditional Roguelike features found in games such as NetHack and Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup. Gameplay revolves around a classless, stat and gear-based progression system, procedural dungeon exploration, and unforgiving tactical combat.
Current Features
- Unending Procedurally Generated content: Procedurally generated gear, enemies, and terrain makes for infinite progression and adventure.
- Classless Character Development: Build the character you wish to play, and develop them through in-depth stat and ability customization.
- Tons of Loot: Collect vast amounts of weapons, armour, and active items, whose powerful abilities, stats, and passive bonuses enhance your gameplay.
- Fast-paced, Tactical Turn-Based Combat: Use positioning, clever skill use, and observation to best your enemies.
- Face Hoards of Challenging Enemies: From simple critters to deadly Elite Units, face off against a variety of monsters, each with their own set of abilities. Enemy Modifiers such as Teleportation, Invisibility, Lifesteal, and more, ensure that there’s always a new type of enemy to slaughter.
- Traditional Roguelike Features: Permadeath, a little luck, and unforgiving gameplay means your hero’s life is firmly in your hands.
- Scoring & Leaderboards: To remember all those poor souls who didn’t make it.
- Simple, easy to use Interface: All the details and functionality you need, without the clutter.
Features Coming Soon
- Multiple Dungeons: Featuring all new dungeon designs, enemies, rooms, loot, and more.
- Story mode: Dungeons will chain together for longer, more varied gameplay, and progression towards a final, endgame goal.
- More Character Development Options: More Class Roles, more Abilities, more talents.
- Further Item & Enemy Development: A much greater range of Item Abilities and Enemy Modifiers.
- Traps & Puzzles: More special room types will offer greater variation to exploration.
- Bosses: Extremely powerful monsters who reside on the final floor of each dungeon, who must be defeated before you can progress.
- Gear Crafting: Collect materials and salvage old gear to craft powerful new items.
- Achievements & Unlockables: New content unlocked for courageous feats of strength!

What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
TL;DR: ABANDONWARE! AVOID! I got this game as a present way back in the day, and it was pretty fun at the time. But now, whenever I remember it exists, it makes me feel bad for the person who gifted it, and (more) sour about Early Access system in general. I'm writing this because a conversation about Early Access reminded me of this game. (I don't buy Early Access games myself, but occasional lack of active development is just one of my many reasons.) Early Access titles with more than a year since any kind of update (even news) should have their buy button disabled until there's a sign of life from the developer. Because, as unfortunate as it is, some may actually pass away and leave ghost software behind along with a promise that won't be fulfilled. Or they may lose all of their data and heart to keep going. No updates, no intellectual property transfer, no open source, forever early access. Aside from making gamers unhappy, abandoned Early Access titles undermine the whole system for other developers too. The problem will only get worse over the years, obviously. We can only hope ALL people learn to look at the review status, Early Access tag, and release date before buying -…5 found this helpful

Abandonware
2/10
https://youtu.be/pLCMQNQbBI0 Just hitting all the basics shows a good core but without any push past that level results in a easily skippable entry into the genre.
There are better offerings in this category than this abandoned and incomplete 'eternal early access' game.
