Not a lot of playtime, but very cool mechanics and design, as well as good art and sound. 8/10

Pretty cool little platformer! Pretty short right now, but it has a lot of potential!

You can tell this game was made with lots of love and it transfers into a really well executed fast pace game which may not be long but sure is a blast to play. All for less than 5 buckaroos. Definitely pick this game up its a blast!

Eldabyss is a dark, momentum-driven action platformer developed and published by Fleshed Out Interactive LLC. Currently available in Early Access, the game positions itself as a brutal, gothic-infused adventure that blends high-speed traversal with intense run-and-gun combat. Drawing inspiration from classic side-scrolling action titles while layering in modern design sensibilities, Eldabyss aims to deliver a challenging, stylish experience built around precision movement and relentless forward momentum. Set in a dystopian future where humanity has long since disappeared, the game unfolds in the year 3058. The world is now dominated by biomechanical beings known as Symbions, and demonic forces have begun tearing open gateways to hellish realms. Players take control of Vikku “Ebic” Lamphart, a cloaked, vampiric Symbion who rises from apparent death to confront this supernatural invasion. The narrative leans heavily into gothic imagery and mythological symbolism, particularly references to infernal realms and layered underworld structures. While the story unfolds in fragments rather than dense exposition, the atmosphere carries a strong thematic identity, merging science fiction with medieval demonology in a stylized pixel-art aesthetic. Gameplay is where Eldabyss truly defines itself. Movement feels fluid and responsive, encouraging players to chain jumps, dashes, and attacks into continuous motion. Rather than rewarding slow, methodical progress, the design favors aggression and rhythm. Momentum becomes a skill in itself, as players learn to conserve speed while navigating hazards and enemy placements. The levels are structured to test both reflexes and route optimization, rewarding players who master the timing of each traversal mechanic. This emphasis on flow creates a satisfying loop where skill improvement directly translates into smoother, more exhilarating runs. Combat complements the movement system with a diverse arsenal of weapons and abilities. From unconventional ranged tools to explosive launchers, each weapon introduces different tactical options and encourages experimentation. Encounters often require quick adaptation, especially when enemy types vary between airborne threats, ground-based demons, and larger mechanical adversaries. Boss battles stand out as highlights, combining elaborate attack patterns with arena-based challenges that demand spatial awareness and precision. These confrontations feel intense and climactic, reinforcing the game’s dark fantasy tone. Visually, Eldabyss embraces a pixel-art style that prioritizes contrast and gothic flair. Environments alternate between ruined overworld landscapes and infernal underworld zones, each drenched in shadow and punctuated by glowing effects. Despite its retro aesthetic, the game incorporates modern lighting techniques and dynamic visual feedback during combat, enhancing clarity during high-speed action. Sound design supports the mood effectively, pairing heavy, atmospheric tracks with punchy combat effects that amplify the impact of each attack. As an Early Access title, Eldabyss remains a work in progress. While its core mechanics feel solid and promising, the overall content volume is still limited. The campaign currently offers a focused selection of levels and encounters, hinting at larger narrative arcs yet to be completed. Developer updates suggest an ongoing commitment to expanding content, refining balance, and adding new weapons and bosses. However, players should approach with the understanding that the experience is evolving and not yet feature-complete. Community reception has been positive among those who have engaged with it, particularly fans of demanding platformers with gothic aesthetics. Players often praise the tight controls and energetic pacing, noting that the game captures the satisfying difficulty curve of classic action platformers. Criticism typically centers on its Early Access scope and the desire for deeper narrative integration or expanded world-building. Still, the strong mechanical foundation has created optimism about its potential trajectory. Ultimately, Eldabyss stands as a passionate indie project with a clear creative vision. Its fusion of dark fantasy storytelling, high-speed traversal, and challenging combat establishes a compelling foundation. While still growing in scope and refinement, it demonstrates the hallmarks of a standout action platformer in the making. For players drawn to intense, skill-driven gameplay wrapped in gothic sci-fi atmosphere, it offers a promising and adrenaline-fueled journey through infernal landscapes. Rating: 6/10

SUPER ULTRA GIGA FUN neat music and ultra-super-cool weapons that are super fun to switch through :3 (i <3 using the rocket) PLAY IT

this game is so cool it's like: im a vampiric robot (its true) and something about nevada im bad at it but its fun

Fast paced and fun, this little game surprised me! Clearly inspired by Castlevania and Metroid titles, the music is great, the platforming is fluid and engaging, and gameplay is really addictive. Each weapon feels unique, the abilities are fun to use and there are so many ways to solve each level, I'm definitely looking forward to the future updates! Easily recommend.

It's a fun, fast-paced platformer. It is relatively short as of right now, but as said it is fast-paced and you can't really get bored of it. It is in an ideal place as of now to add additional lore to the story aspect of the game. Moreover, the soundtracks and art is good, especially for being an indie-game with limited resources. Compared to other platformer games (excluding AAA) it is a solid (7.5-8)
