About
Abyssal Shade is a deck building roguelike where you dive into a dungeon of the mind. Receive the blessings of your emotions and wield them to destroy the Shades that reside within! This game takes place in the void that consists of layers. Each layer has a long deck building roguelike section where you expand and use your deck from the previous floors to defeat your opponents. In between these card game segments there are a variety of top-down rpg puzzles that grant you rewards as you delve deeper into the layers. The battles consist of turn based combat where you play cards from your deck to summon allies and attack your enemy while defending yourself from damage.
The game is on the shorter end last likely about 2 hours but is easily replayable with the chance to encounter new cards and develop new strategies.

Good stuff. Would pay for a fully fleshed out version
"Abyssal Shade" is a poorly made, amateurish "roguelike" (aka contentless procgen nightmare) CCG deckbuilder thing. Think about Slay the Spire, but remove everything good about it, and you have Abysmal Shade. There's a kinda pointless theme about getting blessings from your emotions. Which raises the question that nobody asked, "Is the strong desire to uninstall a game an emotion?" and the answer is yes, and Abysmal Shade made me experience it. What do you do in the game? CCG related turn based combat so bad even Temu wouldn't try sell it to you for 50c. The graphics aren't great, really amateurish static images and stuff... with a little RPG Maker pixelcrap window dressing that looks even worse than the combat table. Ugh. That's understandably a turn off for a lot of gamers, and it's a big contributor to the failure of the game to attract gamers despite having no up-front cost. Gaming is a primarily visual medium, and if developers want to succeed, they must understand that it's not an area for compromise. You deserve better than compromises. The developer chose not to do the job of a real game developer and create meaningful bespoke levels, narrative based gameplay progression and so on. Instead, they decided that "Procgen IS content!" and lazily tried to use procgen algorithms to create infinite, samey, repetitive, soulless levels, because that's a lot less work. As a result of this poor decision, the game gets tired and repetitive almost immediately. Developers must learn that procgen is a terrible substitute for creating real content. It should not be used as "ez-mode" for content creation, as the developer tried to do here. This is "free" enough, at least you won't be expected to spend any more money after you download this, but just because something is free doesn't mean it's good. Despite having no up-front cost, this failed to appeal to the 120 million+ gamers on Steam. SteamDB showed the game peaked at only 4 concurrent players... this is a dismal public reception. This was so bad they couldn't even give it away. Bearing in mind that free games don't add +1 to your game collector count, should you bother adding this to your library and downloading it? Not this time. This isn't worth downloading. While this won't cost you any money, you get what you pay for, and sometimes, even when the game is free, it's still not enough.
it is really adictive . The gameplay is great and the style is really good .
absolutely fantastic! Just problems with not being able to click the quit button or choose "no" when given a yes or no option. Yes is clicked no matter what i do. Still though! its great!
Abyssal Shade, zihnin zindanına daldığınız bir deste oluşturma roguelike'ıdır. Benzersiz bulmacalar aracılığıyla duygularınızın kutsamalarını alın ve Shades'ten kendinizi korumak için destenizi genişletin.
GRATE GAME!! I've been looking for a card game similar to inscryption, thank the heavens I found this. this game is simple, free, challenging and creative, truly better than any card game that cost money.
Bland RNG card game with no substance, no story, reasoning or logic behind anything, themes don't make much sense either. It's free, but that's about it.
