Return to abyss 重返深渊

On the surface, it's a very good VS-like with its own original visual style. The weapons are solid, Engravings allow you to customize each weapon differently for each run, and managing the colored Blessings allow you to choose how your weapon evolves. Each weapon has four available evolutions from your first run, with two more unlockable later on. The novelty of discovery drives replayability, as you test at least 20 weapon evolutions before unlocking anything. And the evolutions are crazy-powerful, the right one can wipe out every enemy on the screen for several minutes until the enemies get stronger. Some of the bosses can seem a bit unfair, like the first boss spawning a giant flaming rock on top of you with no warning. Your weapon shots can cover too much screen space, making it impossible to see whether you're walking into a lava lake or have a miniboss standing on your head. But these are almost expected of VS-likes. There are permanent meta-upgrades to drive your growth, additional weapons and characters to unlock, more maps, all the hallmarks of a VS-like. But as you get into it, things start to break down. You'll notice that each map is a fairly small repeating tile, there's no randomness, which makes all the landscapes very samey. Each map is exponentially harder than the one before, which requires grinding the meta-upgrades. You'd think unlocks would help as well. THIS CAN BE A MISTAKE. Adding a bad weapon (champagne cannon) to your weapon pool weakens you overall, and while you can disable bad evolutions (up to 2 per weapon but only after unlocking the 4th and 5th colors), I don't think you can disable weapons entirely. There are a lot of choices you can make that are either unclear or actively detrimental to you, and there's no way to know in advance. Some of the weapons are simply terrible (fireflies). Some of the engravings will cripple your weapon or change it unexpectedly (scattering on rusty scythe). Some of the evolutions are significant downgrades and the loss of power or area coverage could kill you immediately (blue marsh pets). And the descriptions of some evolutions make it seem like they should do things that they don't appear to be doing (yellow, mostly). You can mix drinks from looted ingredients to "change the rules of a run" but doing so basically makes it so that run doesn't count for progression--fortunately they tell you that in advance. I still recommend it, but with caveats. It nails the power fantasy and sheer spectacle, but can be obtuse at times. If you want to play VS but are disgusted by stolen sprites, this is a very strong alternative. Perhaps not the best on the market, but it's more than fair for its price tag.

One of the best games of its genre. It still need some tweaks and I suspect that some important info were lost in translation, like what some weapon variants actually do and such. But over all this game is an example how it should be done: - every weapon and every character is different enough to make sense to have them separately. There is no recolored fireballs or character clones. - upgrades are meaningful. You have 4 weapons with 6 accessories slots and 3 buffs slots each and depending on buffs you choose you get vastly different final weapon form. All parts of it can be game changing, a single accessory might change gameplay style. Or you can opt for pushing numbers up instead and if you do it right it will work too. - Every map is different. In everything: different enemies with different abilities, different layout, different style, different map features - for example while most of the maps are infinite in every direction, one of them is actually quite small and has its opposite edges connected. And if you have weapon that shoot far enough and pierce enemies - you can shoot it to one side and get it come back to you from the other. And couple of weapons actually benefit from this greatly, you can actually make a build around that. - All bosses have different mechanics. For one you have to either outdamage its healing or clear the map from mobs to prevent that healing to be. And yes, it is possible, no matter what some other reviewers said. I actually did that on nightmare with more than one build. You have to find a way though, not every build will work. Not sure why anyone would want EVERY build to work against everything though. - Nightmare map difficulty is not just about more health and damage. Every map get new mechanics and different enemies composition. And last boss always get some new tricks too. - and if you decide that you want something even more different to fresh your experience - you can always go for a drink and get some mutators for the next run. Ranging from simple stats adjustment to completely different experience. Like, for example, becoming stationary but with greatly increased fire power.

Единственное что есть в этой игре - это прикольные арты, но на этом все. Механически сделано плохо, анимации примитивные, тонна бесмысленного гринда и отсутствие гибкости в билдах. Оставлю ради смайликов, но лучше изначально ее не покупать :)

挺厲害的倖存者遊戲。不同的角色搭配不同的初始武器帶來完全相異的玩法，美術也相當對我胃口。 唯一的缺點是後期有個刷素材的成就，打一場 20 分鐘運氣好點那個素材可以刷到 2 ～ 3 個，運氣差一個都刷不到，而成就竟然要刷 500 個…… 個人入手價格：NT$ 77 (-25%)

드물게 한글화 지원없어도 잘 알아먹고 잘만 하는게임

是我喜欢的画风，画质也不错，游戏整体都感觉还不错，可惜不能禁用武器，后期武器越来越多，有的武器实在是太弱了，完全不想用，希望制作组可以更新个补丁，出一个禁用武器的功能。

Really fun game. Grindier as hell, but fun.
