I love the visuals!! Nice to see turn based strategy games back!!!! Keep it up guys
nothing special
Elég jó kis stratégia lett, a képi világa kicsit komor és sötét de ettől lesz egyedi, a harc rendszer az a megszokott körökre-osztott lesz itt is, csak ajánlani tudom :)

I usually go into free student games expecting a buggy mess or a half-finished tech demo, but Abyssal actually feels like a complete, thought-out experience. It’s a turn-based tactical RPG that leans heavy into that dark, Eldritch "monks and monsters" vibe, and it honestly hits harder than some paid indie titles. Why it’s actually worth the download: - The Story is Solid: You play as Archivald, a monk coming back to settle a blood feud with his brother, Alaric. It’s a classic revenge plot, but the way it’s tied into this infested, rotting city makes it feel way more intense. - Combat with Consequences: It’s isometric and turn-based, but you aren't just spamming attacks. The mechanic of using magic and minions to fight your way through actually requires some brain power. If you like the tactical positioning of games like XCOM or Divinity, you’ll feel right at home here. - The "Free" Factor: It’s under 700MB and costs zero dollars. In an era of $70 games filled with microtransactions, playing a tight, focused story made by students who clearly love the genre is a breath of fresh air. - Killer Atmosphere: The creature designs are genuinely creepy, and the environments look great for an indie project. It nails that "dark fantasy" dread without being too "edgy" just for the sake of it. The Reality Check: The biggest "complaint" is honestly just that people want more of it. Since it was built as a senior project, it’s short—you can probably wrap it up in an hour or two. There are some minor pathfinding hiccups where your units might take the "scenic route" to a tile, but nothing that breaks the game. The Verdict: - If you’ve got a spare afternoon and love strategy games, there’s no reason not to play this. It’s punchy, it’s dark, and the turn-based combat is surprisingly satisfying. It’s a great example of "all killer, no filler." Pros: - Totally free and runs on basically anything. - Great tactical depth for a short game. - The story actually keeps you interested. Cons: - It’s over before you’re ready for it to end. - Occasional finicky 3D clicking/pathing. Final thought: It’s a bite-sized tactical gem. Download it, get your revenge, and keep an eye on these devs—they’re going places.
Игра 'Abyssal' – это атмосферное и захватывающее приключение в глубинах неизведанного океана. Графика, выполненная в мрачных тонах, прекрасно передаёт гнетущее чувство изоляции и опасности, подстерегающей на каждом шагу. Сюжет не торопится раскрывать все карты, постепенно погружая игрока в мир таинственных существ и древних артефактов. Механика исследования довольно проста, но увлекательна: поиск ресурсов, улучшение подводной лодки, столкновения с враждебными обитателями. Отдельного внимания заслуживает звуковое сопровождение – жуткие звуки китов, эхо в замкнутых пространствах и напряжённая музыка создают неповторимую атмосферу ужаса. Однако, некоторым может показаться, что геймплей со временем становится немного однообразным, а недостаток динамичных событий делает игру скорее медитативной, нежели экшеном. Тем не менее, если вы любите игры с сильной атмосферой и готовы к медленному, но увлекательному исследованию, 'Abyssal' точно стоит вашего внимания. Поклонникам Subnautica и SOMA игра может прийтись по вкусу.
