Warriors: Abyss

"The four levels of Hell you&s;ll be carving a path through are well-defined if not terribly interesting, and can get ludicrously cluttered with effects at times; so much so that brief frame rate dips can occur during particularly hectic moments."

"After the gameplay really sunk in, I ended up having a blast with WARRIORS: Abyss but it definitely won&s;t be everyone&s;s cup of tea. ⚔️"

"Warriors: Abyss is like a tasty fast food game — nothing extraordinary, but satisfying for a quick bite. The visuals are dated, the story is unexciting, and the production clearly sought the most economical path. Still, the game captivates with …"

"WARRIORS: Abyss is an action game belonging to the mushow in which we will have to eliminate waves of enemies to defeat final bosses and get out of hell. All this by recruiting a series of allies and get the …"

"Abyss has a fun gameplay loop, held together by well-thought-out roguelike systems and a massive cast of characters for players to try out. This is a game that does a genre mixture quite well, being a treat for both Musou …"

"Warriors Abyss is a solid roguelite experience that will appeal to fans of the Warriors series, with a massive character roster and engaging combat that shines in the early stages. While the difficulty and repetitive gameplay may lead to frustration, …"

"WARRIORS: Abyss is a really enjoyable rouge-like that offers smart, clever twists on the formula, keeping it fun, fresh and entertaining throughout. Its hack and slash, hectic gameplay filled with a deep roster and entertaining combinations and powerup possibilities, offer …"

"Warriors: Abyss wastes no time giving players a tangible story and also appears to lack depth in its opening moments, but that also doesn&s;t matter. Instead, it focuses on translating the Musou experience into a tactile and fast-paced roguelike adventure …"

"It&s;s fun enough to keep you engaged for a decent amount of time, especially considering its reasonable price (£19.99). It feels more aimed at Warriors fans than roguelike enthusiasts, and with so many other options in the roguelike genre, Warriors: …"

"Limited on several fronts, Warriors: Abyss may please fans of Koei Tecmo&s;s musou series or those who enjoy Vampire Survivors-style games looking to try something similar but not identical. A fun pastime, with some mechanically deep moments, but overall lacks …"

"Warriors Abyss has its heart in the right place and some interesting ideas, but its particular blend of musou and roguelike doesn’t feel like it’s fully realized. A novel blueprint for something down the line, but as-is, it’s hard to …"

"Getting started is pretty tough, though, because you&s;re bombarded with an incredible amount of text explaining all the systems. It can get just as tough when you move up to higher arenas, because the screen is overloaded with so many …"

"Warriors: Abyss is a shallow Hades riff that doesn&s;t put its creative squad building hook to good use."

"Warriors: Abyss may stumble in its open-ended, cookie-cutter story and cut-and-paste boss battles, but the replayability that comes from its combat and the customization of its multitude of characters and builds helped keep me slashing through thousands of enemies for …"

"Each level ups the stakes until the fight is an explosion of attacks, effects, purple danger zones, support heroes and carefully-managed chaos."

"Warriors: Abyss is an addictive roguelite that successfully blends elements from acclaimed titles, carving out its own place in the genre. Combat is a thrill. Taking on hundreds at a time with an array of huge, diverse attacks leads to …"

"With the mainline Musou series entering a new era, Warriors Abyss is a fun yet flawed repurposing of past games that feels like a sendoff, as if Omega Force is closing the book after a very long chapter."

"Warriors: Abyss is an excellent mash-up of a roguelite structure with the core gameplay of the Dynasty Warriors franchise. There is plenty of content to unlock, and the level of variety in creating builds for each run is incredible. Just …"

"Warriors: Abyss surprised me in the best way. It took all the elements that made Dynasty Warriors great and combined them effortlessly into a fun roguelite experience. While each run is short and compact, the screen can get muddled with …"

"WARRIORS: Abyss provides an interesting roguelite twist to the standard Musou gameplay of the Warriors series, but it&s;s only interesting for so long. Repetitive action and graphics eventually overwhelm the slick, quick combat."

"As previously mentioned, I’m still in shock it took this long for Koei Tecmo to publish a Musou roguelike. Warriors: Abyss might possibly be the most fun I’ve had with a Musou game at least since Hyrule Warriors. It’s just …"

"This is not a game with ambitions to stand up and box with Hades, and it obviously isn’t “the next Warriors” by any means either. It’s a fascinating experiment that misses as many targets as it hits."

"Koei Tecmo no doubt developed this quickly after seeing how popular Vampire Survivors is, and while it’s not exactly pushing boundaries, the team has done a great job bringing its exceptional Warriors properties to the formula. This is a game …"

"Warriors: Abyss is a decent low-budget spinoff in the long-running hack &s;n&s; slash series, but isn&s;t particularly inspiring. There&s;s tons of replayability, loads of unlockables, and a thrilling combat system that help to keep this one interesting for a while, …"

"Warriors: Abyss offers a high-intensity action experience mixed with Roguelike elements. Players control historical warriors to face waves of enemies in a brutal world. The game features a diverse cast of characters and an enjoyable combat system. However, it suffers …"

"While it may not reach the dizzying heights of other titans in the roguelite space, such as Hades, the game nonetheless offers an addictive and satisfying experience that Warriors fans should check out."

"Warriors: Abyss can provide a fun experience for the Warriors die-hards, but could be skipped by everyone else."

"For longtime Warriors fans, Abyss offers a fun, if somewhat shallow, experience. However, those looking for a high-end roguelike experience may find the game lacking in depth and ambition. Warriors: Abyss is a fun experience for fans of the series, …"

"Warriors Abyss is an amazing ride with tons of replayability. It has satisfying and addicting combat with tons of enemies to try new characters&s; movesets on. The camera and all the effects can go crazy on you at times, but …"

"Warriors: Abyss offers up some satisfying hack-and-slash entertainment, but it falls short of its true potential."

"Warriors: Abyss is light on story and gameplay systems, but succeeds in delivering a somewhat fun loop. While there is little variety in the enemy types or overall gameplay systems, the massive roster of 100 different characters helps alleviate some …"

"Omega Force’s attempt to enter the roguelite space with Warriors: Abyss is sadly quite underwhelming. I had some fun battling the waves of demons with the plethora of playable characters. But with some ugly graphics, no real randomization in levels/layout …"

"Warriors: Abyss is a fun spin-off that brings some good ideas to the marriage between musou and roguelite. Unfortunately, its limitations prevent it from delivering more, but it should satisfy fans of the franchise for a few hours."

"Warriors Abyss is a title that tries something new from the classic musou, but you can tell from several factors that we are dealing with a product with a limited budget: the base price is in line with low-medium cost …"

"If I could summarize my experience with the Switch version of WARRIORS: Abyss, I would say that it was a fun experience that I dedicated hours in bit-sized sessions. The musou and rogue-like genres mix perfectly and it surprises me …"

"Enjoyable to listen to the sounds of combat, which range from the ringing of steel to the sizzling of magical attempts. Cries of combat and the roars of foes combine to create an atmosphere of tension. However, several lines of …"

"Warriors: Abyss isn’t the worst entry in the series, but it’s far from the best. While its hero summoning mechanic has potential, the repetitive gameplay, bland visuals, weak story, and aggressive DLC push make it hard to recommend at full …"
