drahkon Posted July 14, 2020 Posted July 14, 2020 Quote Combining furious run ‘n’ gun action and deep, roguelike mechanics, Neon Abyss pits you as a member of ‘Grim Squad’ – a task force set-up by Hades himself to infiltrate the Abyss and defeat the New Gods. This got released today. Bought it at midnight and did two runs before going to sleep. I failed but it was awesome. It plays great and the rogue-lite (whoever wrote that description on YouTube is wrong...it's not a roguelike) mechanics seem to be spot-on. I know there aren't a lot of people (if any) who enjoy rogue-lites, but maybe someone will give it a go. There's a demo, available, too, but it suffers from some balancing and technical issues.
drahkon Posted July 14, 2020 Author Posted July 14, 2020 Phew, the Switch version suffers from some serious FPS drops once you get a few upgrades (more bullets, etc.). Turns the game into a slideshow from time to time. And there's a pet that flies around you which can block your own bullets. If you have exploding bullets you hurt yourself so freaking much Gotta pay attention, once it hatches out of an egg. I'm loving the game, though. Beat one "major boss" which opened up new levels. Also unlocked a few items/mechanics. The rogue-lite mechanics in this game are great
drahkon Posted December 3, 2020 Author Posted December 3, 2020 This game annoyed the fuck out of me initially because of frame drops, unbalanced (and unfair) items and lots of bugs. Now a patch has been released and I'm ready to give it another go Will try it out over the weekend. The first time I'll actually use my Switch after finishing Super Mario Sunshine in October.
