Kill To Collect sure has a lot of rad bullet points checked off, cyberpunk aesthetic, dystopian future, 4 player co-op, top-down perspective, sweet synthwave soundtrack, glowing neon, rogue-like difficulty and procedurally generated levels. Pieces Interactive CEO David Rosén notes that you won’t have time to worry about what do next you’ll need to be running and gunning your heart out to stay alive in this action-fest of a game. Sounds exactly like the kind of 80’s inspired sensibilities I want, action and chaos aplenty without any of the plot getting in the way. Kill to Collect is coming to Steam sometime in the Spring but until then you’ll just have to let this short teaser trailer tide you over. Maybe you can pick up a new neon phone and a graffitied denim jacket while you wait.

With three different game modes and a variety of weapons to discover and unlock, Kill to Collect supplies players with strong replay value as they discover new combinations of teammates, strategies and equipment.
