"Abyssus is another roguelite that could be balanced much, much better. While I’m sure a friend group could have fun as is, the sheer amount of gameplay-related things (weapons, mods) that must be unlocked could lose players’ interest before they …"

"After spending dozens of runs in its depths, I can honestly say Abyssus has earned a spot in my rotation. It scratches the same itch as DOOM Eternal’s frantic combat, but layers in the replayability and build variety of a …"

"The result is a game that&s;s quite fun at its best, but still feels unfinished in many ways. With a lot of work from the developers, "Abyssus" could become an absolute insider tip a year after its release, but for …"
Read original review"Abyssus is a terrific first-person shooter, boasting one of the smoothest and most engaging gunplay mechanics with impactful gun customization. However, it falls short as a roguelite due to how uninspiring and unrewarding its gameplay loop is."

"Abyssus is a good base for a roguelike first-person shooter because it lets you move easily, shoot quickly, and create chaos with other players. The brine-punk style and tactical choices, such as elemental abilities, give it a lot of depth."
