Abyssus

I have played a fair bit at this point. I got it right after launch. I really really want it to be good. the loop is fun. the guns are unique and interesting. But holy ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ moly. I have never played a game this buggy. And I don't mean like "oh i clipped through a wall i shouldn't have." or "my fire rate is supposed to be increasing but its not." I mean game breaking, run ending bugs. Like a wave attack will hit you and instead of doing 50 damage like it normally does it will do my entire health bar, my self revive, my self revive amulet, and then the remainder of my self revive life, all while dragging me along, before I have a millisecond to respond. Or instead of spawning into the game with the healing potions that I'm supposed to have, I spawn in with none, even though my team mates have all of theirs. And then I can't even buy more or use shrines to gain any. and its CONSISTENT. The most frustrating part is its literally every run. I've never had a fully clean well functioning run. And I've ran this game a lot. It's to the point where there's so many ridiculous like "how is that even something the devs let happen?" bugs that I can't even keep track of them. A friend will bring up a bug we ran into and I had already forgotten about that one because it was 10 new bugs ago. It's a cool concept. The atmosphere is great. The loop is fun. But man. It's clear to me the devs don't have their priorities straight because they beelined to weapon additions, map expansions, and an Xbox port before they even tried to fix the issues that made the game impossible to play. It's exhausting putting 45 minutes plus into a run and then getting face ♥♥♥♥♥♥ by ♥♥♥♥ completely out of my control.

I haven't played this game for long and that has a reason. Abyssus feels like a "oh everyone is doing rouge-lite shooters now, let's do it too, but with friends". Nothing about the system of the game, the gunplay or the enemies feels like something new, that would actually justify buying it. I've played tons of these shooters and usually I'm pretty entertained by just the basic formula. Even Sulfur was fun to me, though it had it's rough edges too. Abyssus, on the other hand, sadly feels like it's either nothing new and interesting or just rough edges. I'm sorry I have to be this harsh, but games like Gunfire Reborn perfectly show how a Rogue Lite shooter should feel like. The gunplay in GR is fun and the reload animations perfectly add a ton to the feeling of the weapons. Abyssus lacks this kinda feeling with the guns having basically no recoil and nothing really unique about them (at least the first few I saw, which were just normal guns). The movement also seems to be missing anything that would keep me playing. One of the more major problem in my opinion are the arenas and the general look of the game. It's pretty dark and the enemies have very similar colours to the environment around them. However, the game uses a system where some enemies get a red border, which is also visible through walls, to make them more visible. Which enemies get them is unknown to me, but the need to add this only shows that the devs also thought visibility was an issues. And it seems like this only got noticed very late in the games development (possibly even in playtesting stages). These small issues ultimately add up to a bunch which leads me to not being able to recommend this game for it's current price. I would advice the devs to either look further into what their competitors are doing right or maybe focus on another genre altogether with their next game.

very repetitive can't recommend. and also very grindy

El juego está bastante divertido para jugar con mas gente

It's so fun but it's so damn buggy

I never gave this game a proper review, Because I always felt like it was "too early to say", but now that we're years out from release, I feel I can give an honest review. I've only got about 40 hours in the game, but my problem was the game was simply too easy, Now I understand that this game was sort of balanced around a more casual experience and that's fine if it's what you want, but I expected harder content at some point, and as of now it seemingly never happened. Once you reach a certain point in the game you're basically a god, even on the hardest difficulty room wiping entire floors in 3-5 seconds for all enemies and bosses, and again if you're chasing a power fantasy then that's fine, but I prefer more challenging content like what I've come to expect from other titles. All in all this isn't a bad game I will never say that it is, but I feel for most roguelike and roguelite fans the linearity and lack of options for how you progress through the map will make it feel underwhelming, and as a result lose it's luster very quickly because the difficulty curve becomes significantly easier the longer you play, to the point where most builds will trivialize the entire game by Zone 2.
