Abyss Odyssey

Our analysis

A 2D side-scrolling brawler with procedurally generated levels that blends arcade beat-'em-up roots with deeper, pseudo-fighting-game combat. Strengths include genuinely unique enemy and character designs, excellent voice work, and strong replay value across many unlockable characters and shifting levels; weaknesses are stiff, awkward directional controls, uneven music, and forced friendly fire in co-op. At its budget price it lands as a worthwhile, if flawed, pick.
