Über das Spiel

Neon Abyss kombiniert rasante Run 'n' Gun-Action mit anspruchsvollen Rogue-Like-Mechaniken, mit dir in der Hauptrolle! Du bist Teil des von Hades höchstpersönlich zusammengestellten Grim Squad, der in die Unterwelt eindringen und die neuen Götter besiegen soll. Der Tod ist hierbei nicht das Ende, denn jedes Mal, wenn du stirbst, erwachst du nur noch stärker wieder zu Leben.

Dungeon-Entwicklung
Mit jedem Durchgang können neue Räume, Gegenstände, Bosse, besondere Regeln und sogar neue Enden freigeschaltet werden! Jeder Dungeon ist einzigartig und wird an deinen eigenen Spielstil angepasst.

Unbegrenzte Gegenstandssynergien
Auf deinem Weg durch die Dungeons sind zufällig auftauchende Gegenstände der Schlüssel zum Eindringen ins Abyss. Ihre passiven Effekte können unbegrenzt gestapelt werden, sodass zahlreiche Kombinationen möglich sind, die jeden Durchgang einzigartig machen.

Züchte dir deine eigenen Gefährten
Falls du etwas Gesellschaft auf deiner Reise durch die finsteren Tiefen des Abyss benötigst oder einfach nur jemanden, der dir im Kampf zur Seite steht, kannst du Eier einsammeln, aus denen zufällige Gefährten mit besonderen Fähigkeiten schlüpfen. Wenn du lange genug am Leben bleibst, kannst du sogar sehen, wie sie sich weiterentwickeln!

Minispiele
Du brauchst eine Pause von dem ganzen Monster Abschlachten? Dann versuch's doch mal mit einem Minispiel, durch das du ganz nebenbei auch noch ein paar nützliche Gegenstände sammeln kannst! Klaviervorführungen, Meditationsherausforderungen, Tanzwettbewerbe und mehr erwarteten dich! Und auf einmal ist das Leben gar nicht mehr so langweilig!

Verrücktes Geballer im Neon-Ambiente auf progressive Beats!


.... hallo NEON ABYSS!

Wahnsinn ... was für ein Run&Gun! Selten hat mich ein Rogue-like Action-Plattformer so geflasht wie NEON ABYSS! Und ja, es flasht mich nach 50+ Spielstunden immer noch wie am ersten Tag.

Diese abartige Menge an Waffen die sich in Feuerverhalten & aktiv/passiv Eigenschaften kaum ähneln, Hunderte von Synergien (Bonis) die sich, Gott erbarme, quasi bis ins unendliche stacken lassen und so vielfältig in ihren Eigenschaften sind das dir die Ohren schlackern. Pets die dir helfend zur Seite stehen nachdem sie erfolgreich aus ihrem Ei geschlüpft sind ....oh man jahaaa, sie sind süß - also auch was für Mädels das Spiel.

Abwechslung bringen diverse Dungeon-Räume sowie Bonus-Räume ins Spiel. Hier könnt ihr euer Geschick in Reaktion, Schnelligkeit, Genauigkeit, usw. unter Beweis stellen.

NEON ABYSS bietet euch 10 Charaktere die ihr im Laufe des Spiels freischalten könnt, welche sich in Fähigkeiten sowie Start-Items alle unterscheiden. Skill-Trees die NICHT euren Charakter sonder den Dungeon verändern - genial sag ich nur!

Preislich gibts für mich definitiv auch nichts zu meckern. Ich kann das Spiel jedem ans Herz legen der auf dieses Genre steht!

So ... nun muss ich aber los. Der ABYSS wartet!

Dieses Spiel ist eine einzige Katastrophe, man ist laufend tot, von einem stärker werden nach dem Tod ist keine Rede, die Steuerung ist eine Unverschämtheit, meist nur mit a,s,d zu steuern, lässt sich auch nicht optimal ändern, so dass man es gescheit spielen kann, das springen eine Katastrophe, man hätte wenigstens ein laufendes springen ermöglichen können, wenn man die Space-Taste drückt, da helfen auch die Trampoline nichts, die Karte ist eine einzige Katastrophe, man findet nichts, gar nichts, man hat null Plan, was man überhaupt machen soll, wenn man einen Dungeon fertig hat, gehts nicht weiter, die Speicherung funktioniert nicht, man fängt jedes mal, sowie auch nach jedem Tod, von vorne an, dazu kommt noch, dass dieses Spiel mit dieser minimalen Grafik den PC um sage und schreibe 5 Grad heisser macht, egal, was man sonst noch offen hat, wer also unbedingt will, dass sein PC 5 Jahre eher geschrottet wird, der kann dieses Spiel spielen, der Rest lässt auf jeden Fall die Finger davon, und dass auch noch für einen unverschämten Preis von 20 Euro. Ich bin bedient.

Ein Hallo hier ist Wollinios Showbox.
Ich habe damals schon die Demo angezockt und war so begeistert vom Spiel, dass ich mich entschieden habe es auf meinem You Tube Kanal ein Let's play zu machen.
Jeder Durchgang ist anders. Jeder Tod eine Lehre und jeder Anfang ein neues Abenteuer.
Ich denke ich werde noch lange Freude am Spiel haben.

I am a 45 yo father, probably one of the oldest people playing this game. I am a single farther to my Son, who is 14 now. My son got this game for Christmas in 2021 from his uncle, so we installed it on his computer and he started playing. By the end of the week he had 24 hours on this game. This was horrible for me, as it was already hard for me to find ways to spend time with my son, as he is always out with his friends or just watching YouTube. So I decided to make a Steam account and get this game to see if I could maybe play alongside him. I loaded into the game, picked my character and world and started playing but I was stuck on what you where supposed to do. I asked my Son for help and he hosted a game for me to join. I loved it as it was the best time I had spent with my Son since my wife had died. This game has ever since brought me and my son closer again and now we actually spend time together outside the house together as well. This game reminded me that there's fun to be had in everything, and it has brought both me and my Son many happy memories.

It is a decent game generally, but you won't see shit. Enemy attacks will always be obscured by ever increasing amount of your particles on screen so final bosses are literally up to be outtanked by you, since you can't dodge those patters if you ain't seeing em. Also it's open to being broken, but that seems like intentional design choice.

I have an extremely split opinion about this game. Would I recommend it? Yes and No. It really depends on the person, I'd guess. But the developers seem extremely nice, so let's give it a thumbs up. (They even give DLCs at release for free, so hey)

From an artistic view, this game is super beautiful, the character and world design is super pretty and interesting, I love it. It's flashy and colorful, it's creative. I enjoyed the design of the bosses and characters a lot!
Maybe it's a bit too flashy, fast and vibrant for some people, but I can stare on epileptic stuffs for years.

The game... to me personally it was fun, but only the first few hours, because I could turn off my mind and play this game like a braindead ape. For a roguelike it is very casual and it doesn't make me want to smash my screen in, which is for me personally a big minus point. Surely, you could go and try to reach that abyssal mode and all. But I just didn't feel like it as I didn't enjoy the gameplay too much.

I would recommend it definitely to people that want a casual and beautiful game to chill an hour or two in the evening.
Not to those that are more into challenging hard stuff.

For now I uninstalled the game, maybe I'll look back into it if there's a new DLC or something.

Good visual roguelike game. Pretty slow pace at first but picks up as you get your upgrades. I personally don't like how items don't give a description of what it does. I feel most people would like to know what an item does before you pick it up. But I guess that's the experience of a roguelike game, playing it over and over again to remember, I just don't like it.

Biggest problem is this game is if you ever get too many upgrades, you start to balloon. You can barely see enemies through bullets, eggs, and sprites. Before you know it you've killed everything and don't know how you even did it.

Overall 6/10. For 50% off for 10 dollars, definitely worth a try.

Not gonna lie. This game, was good. My expectations and dreams all came true, 2D, shooting, long game?! All true! The best part.. I got it for $10 bucks. The other day I was thinking I could've given that money to a charity but my gamerness got into me. I spend my last few dollars on this game, I am forced to move out next month but was it worth it? Yes! Yes it was! If you like a platformer 2D shooter game with addicting gameplay I recommend this. It is definitely worth moving out for, I feel bad for my son Johhny I haven't told him yet. But It's all worth it in the end when he grows up he'll understand and forgive me when he plays this game himself and also gets a addiction.
Overall.. Good game 9/10 from me, definitely helps get your mind off your crippling depression

This is coming from someone with 3 hours in the game, so take this with a grain of salt

So far, the game seems to deliver what it is: a roguelike that you can spend a couple of hours into and have fun with it

It's very rng reliant (akin to isaac) and that will be the difference between a bad run and defeating the final boss.

Controls are good and never felt i got hit due to a mistake of the game being bad

Only foind one bug so far that prevented me from going down platforms (some rooms require you to go down platorms to progress)

The unlock system is... strange and i feel shouldn't be there or maybe be reworked, since it unlocks other rooms, sutff for the runs (like barrels that have items in them) and characters. At least they aren't hard to unlock, as the necessary currency for it drops at the end of every level

Barely any lore so far, with what i interpreted as a promisse of more lore after a cutscene that just breaks the 4th wall for the sake of it.

Music is basic and feels lacking due to the amount of tracks the game has. I wasn't able to identify if levels even have their own music or not, let alone bosses. I bought the music DLC. 15 tracks with 12 minutes in total. Not worth it

DLCs:

2 new characters unlocked from the start (none of them being stronger than the rest), with Saya being the only one i'm playing as, since her sword acts more as a double jump due to it's damage being low after a while

The alter ego pack: more than just skins, they change a couple of stats from some characters and may or may not add a small passive change to them. You can also play the alter version of base characters without unlocking them first

Conclusion: if you watched gameplay and think you may like it, grab it during a sale. After that, decide on DLCs, but ignore the music one

I discovered this game thanks to Epic Games and I really like the neon style. I found myself enjoying it quite a bit! If you want to collect everything in a section, a run takes an average of 1 hour. The game is very rich in terms of variety of items and weapons. Random drops every time you play makes some runs nearly impossible and other extremely easy but enjoyable. Once leveled, you feel like a god. There could be a bit more variation in level design. The story of the game is not highlighted. Since it is an unreleased game, there are bugs in the game, but I am trying to help by reporting them on Veewo Games' Discord server. I bought the game on Steam because the Epic Games version of the game is an old version. The pricing of the game is a bit expensive compared to the economy of my country (Turkey).

This is one of my favorite games because its art style and gameplay are unique. I highly recommend giving this game a try. 9/10

To be honest, this feels like Dungreed with slightly better mechanics and much prettier graphics.

But where Dungreed failed, Neon Abyss fails harder. And that is the balance.

If you want to play a rougelite that is almost entirely based on luck, this is the game for you. You never have to feel bad for losing.

But if you want to progress not just by unlocking and picking new items but in the sense of getting better at the game as the player, this is not at all for you.

Still, I will go ahead and recommend it. Because while I can see that this game isn't right for me, it makes me wish that it was. Whether that means it being more balanced or me having a different taste is of no importance.

I found it boring.

Progress is really slow, and you spend too much time with the starting gun. Some guns are notably worse than the starting gun, adding to the problem.

When you do find upgrades, they frequently do not matter or change game play in any significant way.

The random levels seem to disregard balanced key drops, so you'll frequently be barred from parts of a dungeon because you weren't given enough e.g. grenades.

I also experienced a bug where down didn't work, so I got stuck. Because the game doesn't let you save I just had to quit the run to restart.

Game design and Neon Abyss



I actually liked this game quite a bit. The problem is, there were... strange, to say the least, design choices. Story is non-existant and that's ok, but gameplay itself feels unpolished and lacking general direction. Here's a list.

1. Items. You can't see what each item does unless you play a specific character, so you have to memorise what each item does - and with how game-changing some of them may be, this is a problem. Items don't stack here; each comes in a single variant. However, a lot of items are either straight up doubles, or give you something on pick up (example: increase weapon damage and get a shield). Each item you get modifies how your character looks, and while fine, you still can't remove that until very late game.

2. Melee. It is pitiful. Not only you can only control melee attacks as two characters - one performing a standard melee attack and the other using 15's Katana Zero dash (best character) - but if you are not playing the latter it is the worst thing since the invention of knife. Melee works like this: if you're close enough to enemy or box, attacking while aiming close enough will allow character to perform a melee attack, and jesus it is bad. It's a stab without any energy to it, with no proper hitbox id, on very small distance and attacking only forward around character's head's height. Remember Dead Cells? Or Skul? Or any game with some form of melee in it? Yeah, if a game has melee it has a chance of 90% to be better than in this game. The worst thing however, there are a heck ton of items affecting melee which you should never use unless stabbing down boxes, and they all are in the loot tables, and they just exist as clutter - unless you're playing 15 Katana Zero (best character).

3. Wisdom and Violence. Not only these mechanics are poorly conveyed to the player, they also don't work. The game clearly wants you to get hit as little as possible, but enemies and visual clutter make it difficult. Then, Wisdom rewards no-hits and spending crystals to unlock chests/doors; when you max it out, you can teleport to a special room and pick one of two items. It is pretty neat, however, there is a big but: Violence. You gain Violence by hitting crystal devices and then paying by getting hit; you also increase Violence by getting hit in a room. When you max it out, you can teleport to a special room with 3 (or 4 or 5 - you can upgrade it) items, from which you have to pick one. Once you get it, you lose one max hp, or shield if you don't have hp. Now, the problems with this system are numerous. First of all, to purposely get Violence, you have to allow enemies hit you - and then dodge everything perfectly, because it is triggered only once per room. This especially contrasts with Neon Abyss having challenge rooms, where you need to avoid getting hit to get a reward. It is faster to max out Violence, but it is way more risky due to you spending hp or shields, which in this game are precious resource - and then, after getting hit quite a bit, you have to sacrifice max hp to get a reward. In this sense, Violence requires you to play even more flawlessly than intended flawless route - Wisdom, which is said in-game tips to be harder of the two. Getting hit on purpose can also get extremely annoying. Now, once you progress more in the game, new problem arises: [spoiler] on Ares stage, you have to get full Violence meter to fight Cursed Ares to access final boss, meaning you have to get hit a lot on this stage, and the two resulting boss fights are insanely hard when on low hp/shields. You'd also have to fill up Violence before that - you might choose not to sacrifice max hp, thus gaining no reward at all, but you still spend a lot of hp/shields resource - and after stage 4 you get hit for full heart instead of half [/spoiler]. Also, those routes are mutually exclusive - if you activate a crystal device on Violence it gets transferred to Wisdom, and if you hit crystal device Wisdom converts into violence. Now, crystal chests and special device can spawn in any room, and with gun possible reaching insane power, you end up hitting crystal devices a lot, thus resetting your Wisdom progress. The solution is simply not fire at enemies until you scout the entire room, but avoiding enemies' attacks can become quite a fit.

4. Cheats. You have to memorise them. They are also not properly explained. And they turn off achievements.

5. Mini-games. God forbid, mini-games. Claw machine is fine, and even still it throws out of the loop and requires you to play a different game for a bit to get a reward. Do I need to explain that I am playing Neon Abyss, and not FNF?

6. All characters except for egg guy and 15 Katana Zero feel uninspired. They are mostly the same, with some being able to roll, or attack in melee, read items info, or swap weapons - which honestly should be a base for any character.

7. Moldy hearts. Yes, an entire paragraph just for them: that's how bad they are. If you don't know, moldy hearts are hearts that can either heal you for a heart, or damage you for half a heart or heart after stage 4. The problem is, your character picks them up automatically if your hp isn't full (or even if full? don't remember), leading to a very fun experience. There's a pet which turns normal hearts into moldy hearts - and you can blacklist it, yes, but why does this exist at all?

8. Weapons have doubles too - including both attack pattern and ability, tho never the exact same, it's all mixed up. Having ability be tied to a weapon may be a good choice, but a lot of weapons simply don't have an ability.

And that's pretty much it. What? Positives? Okay, tho I won't go too in-depth into them.
1. Visually, the game is impressive.
2. First 4 stages feature random bosses buffed up to the stage's level - which is fairly unique and keeps runs from being too same-y.
3. Soundtrack is neat.
4. Bugs are minimal and performance is ok until you become too powerful.
5. Makes for a nice relaxing experience - until you start feeling pressured into getting all Challenge rooms and maximizing Wisdom.
6. 15 Katana Zero is here and I couldn't be happier.

In conclusion, you can get this game. You can buy it. It is quite costy tho. Wouldn't recommend doing so, however. I had quite a bit of fun with it, so maybe you can get it. Maybe not. Makes for a good game design study

Maybe the least inspired game I've played. Anything this game does is done better than any other roguelike you can go choose to play, like Gungeon or Isaac. I got this as a gift from a friend and I still feel like I wasted money on it.

I'd like to think I gave this game an honest chance, but after my time with it, I can't say I'm impressed. I've seen some of my complaints mentioned by other people, but the bottom line is that the game just feels too repetitive. Guns basically boil down to some variation of either a bullet gun or a laser gun. Upgrades boil down to just increasing damage, movement speed, or projectile count. There might be some interesting unlockables in the progression system, but I honestly don't think I care enough to grind my way through. I don't really dislike this game, but the basic gameplay loop is just too simple and each run just feels repetitive. Maybe if you get this for free or from a bundle or something, you can sink some hours into it, but if you're looking for a deep roguelike experience that feels satisfying to replay time and time again, I think this is a pass.

Neon Abyss has fantastic visuals, a decent amount of in-game content/variation, and responsive controls. That being said, I don't recommend the game unless you can get it for a very steep discount - even then, there's probably a better game out there that is better worth your money...

Tl;dr - A great looking game that doesn't live up to its potential. Great visuals but lackluster gameplay loop.

The gameplay feels very sluggish and individual runs take a loonnngggg time to complete:

1.) You'll clear a handful of stages (each having multiple branching rooms) and then fight a 'mini-boss' at the end of the stage. You'll spend considerable time backtracking through each stage to gather coins, items, unlock chests/rooms etc.
2.) After defeating the handful of stages, you'll fight a 'big boss.'
3.) After that, you're forced to start over - you'll do the same thing again only *now* have access to a 2nd big boss.
*Rinse and repeat and add a new additional boss.

The forced grind that Neon Abyss forces upon the player for unlocking all of the in-game bosses is a shallow (and annoying) way to elongate play-time and ultimate proved ineffective. By the time I had unlocked and beaten the 3rd unlockable 'big boss,' I felt I had more-or-less experienced everything the gameplay loop had to offer. There isn't enough variety in locations or enemy types to keep the gameplay feeling fresh beyond a couple of play sessions.

There are certainly enough relics and guns to potentially maintain replayability - however, Neon Abyss shoots itself in the foot by making the details of relics and weapons unknown until the player commits to the selection. It's all too common to pick up a relic that's either completely useless or one that otherwise craps on your existing synergies. You cannot drop relics once chosen which means you're permanently screwed if you lose the needless game of chance.

It is absurd to think that the average player is going to memorize the ins-and-outs for the large assortment of relics/weapons using only name and visual sprite as a reference. As a player, I should not have to rely on trial-and-error, excessive memorization, or external references in order to effectively build up my character during a run. The opaque nature of item/weapon selection reflects poor game design and mars what could otherwise be a standout entry in the genre.

Neon Abyss is a fantastic rogue-like, bullet-hell metroidvania.

While you may occasionally run into a bug or two, and there is a *lot* of RNG involved in how successful you are in finding good loot for completing a run, the fun far outweighs the small annoyances.

The memes and jokes are fresh and relevant. It's even making fun of games in development while this game was in development. The artwork is slick and well suited to the atmosphere. The music is poppin.

But the thing that really sells this game is the over 400 items and weapons available. I've pumped nearly 50 hours into the game as of this review, and I've still only found about 2/3 of all the available weapons and items. The potential for varied gameplay and experimentation is nearly unparalleled.

While it's easy to draw comparisons to Hades (even the game itself makes some tongue-in-cheek meta commentary on its similarities), Neon Abyss more than stands on its own legs as rogue-like with a ton of replay value and between-run progress.

If you're looking for a fast-paced rogue-like you can really sink your teeth into, don't sleep on Neon Abyss!

This is not my genre. I received this game through Humble Choice, and otherwise would not have given it a chance. I had it ignored on Steam and yet I ended up the the darn thing anyway. Holy cow, I'm glad I did.

I don't know enough about the genre to critique the game on a technical level, but I know enough about games to recognize fun-factor and replay value when I see it. I just put 40 hours into this catchy little game over the course of several days and I'm still getting excited about all the different combinations of weapons, power ups, abilities and unlocks I'm finding. The character dialogue came off heavy-handed and awkward enough that by my fourth visit to the office I just started skipping the dialogue entirely. That's fine by me though, since the game absolutely feels worth the asking price already.

I'm here for Daft-Punk-faced robots wielding giant laser pinwheels that spit shark-shaped heat-seeking rockets at inter-dimensional armor-plated monstrosities, while catchy electronic music buzzes and thumps in the background.

My only real complaint is that I can't play co-op with my kid. If multiplayer ever gets added, I'll grab a second copy in a heartbeat.

Have you played The Madness of Little Emma? Enter the Gungeon? Rogue Legacy? The Binding of Isaac? Spelunky? Did you enjoy it/them?

If your answer was 'yes', then I've got some great news! Neon Abyss takes the side-view combat of Madness/Legacy/Spelunky, the crazy guns of Gungeon, and the avatar-altering power-ups of Isaac and mashes them all together, then mixes them to a powerful bass beat.

Things start off pretty simple - you're tasked with beating a 'manager' - basically a new godling - Argus, God of Darknet on the 5th floor. Once you manage to beat him, the new task is to beat Hal, God of Machines, who resides on the 6th floor - but you've got to go through Argus again to get past the 5th floor. In this way - turning end bosses into regular bosses - the game steadily ups the difficulty and run length.

The items offer an assortment of passive bonuses that stack, often to crazy heights. There are also set items, which, in addition to having excellent synergy with each other, unlock additional bonuses if you manage to collect five of them.

There are dozens of different guns, each with its tics, foibles, and activatable powers. Some trade raw power for utility - such as the key gun, which, after charging, will literally shoot keys that can open chests and locked doors; or grenade launchers that allow you to blow up walls without using up grenades.

Also pets - you can pick up eggs which will hatch after you clear a number of rooms. Pets can be anything from orbiting bullet blockers, to shooters, to item transmogrifiers. Pets will level up and become more powerful as long as they don't get themselves killed.

Killing bosses awards currency that can be spent between runs on unlocks. These include new characters, new items, and new rooms.

Three levels of difficulty to make the going a little easier if things are a little too tough, or harder if you're finding it all too easy. As you win runs at a difficulty level, it'll gradually get tougher - adding up to five pips. Easy with 5 pips being roughly equal to normal, etc.

TL;DR: It's an excellent 2d platformer bullethell roguelike with a rocking soundtrack. Would recommend.

I was so close to giving Neon Abyss a thumbs-up. Not because it's a standout roguelite in a field dominated by giants, but because it was a fun diversion that cribbed a lot of mechanics from other, better known titles in the genre and combined them to make something that was decent. Not mind-blowing, not terribly difficult, but if you scored it on sale, worth the money.

I was digging my time with Neon Abyss -- not as many hours sunk as Steam says I have, because I have an infant to feed between naps, but a decent amount -- and after I puzzled out the Wisdom/Violence system (the only original thing this title brings to the party), I went after those last three bosses. I won't detail the Wisdom/Violence system here, but the path to the last bosses basically boils down to this: You build up a gauge, which lets you visit a special room with loot. Sometimes -- and ONLY sometimes -- you will also get a special Boss Token in addition to that loot. This token lets you visit that boss's level at the end of your run. Didn't get a token? No extra boss for you.

But let's say you DID get that token, and you beat that boss. Guess what? Now you have to beat the Cursed version of that boss, because that's the only way you're going to get to the final boss of the game. So just do that all over again, hoping you get that Token that appears sometimes and not others, but this time you have to then build that same gauge up to max again while in the level in question.

Now, you can build that gauge up and get a chance at that Boss Token multiple times per run. I'm no great player, and it's not hard to build the gauge up a few times before you hit the end of a standard run. I went through this rigmarole enough to beat one Cursed Boss and faltered on the final. Tried to do it all over again with the other Cursed one, and let me tell you, from experience, that you can build that bar up three times in a run, get zero Boss Tokens, and then do it all over again next run, three times, zero boss tokens.

So after two fantastic runs where the only thing keeping me from finishing the game was – a dice roll? coin flips? -- keeping even the possibility of attempting the final two bosses outside my grasp, I said no. You can give me a bad loadout because of RNG, you can give me sub-par resource availability because of RNG, but to just arbitrarily lock off the last, hardest part of the game due to RNG? I don't want to be the That's Bad Game Design Guy, but . . . *gestures wildly*.

It's unnecessary padding. It's a bad implementation of RNG. It needs to go, but it's still here. There are roguelites out there that will punish you while respecting your time. Play those instead.

In all, Neon Abyss is a beautifully made game that does their chosen genre justice, demonstrating a beautiful atmosphere and a challenging yet rewarding experience, when either the dice rolls in your favor or you manage to do well even despite a bad hand being given to you. If luck is on your side, Neon Abyss is chaotic fun as a run ‘n gun and bullet hell, and if luck took a sick day, well, you can still manage to accomplish a surprising amount. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m gonna try another run...

I had high hopes for this and bought this month's Humble Choice specifically for it, but it didn't pay off.

The monsters are quite boring to fight, the level layouts that are generated feel uninspired and the bosses are repetitive. The best thing about the game are some of the weapon combos and the soundtrack, it's great.

This isn't anywhere near Dead Cells in terms of roguelite playability and doesn't reach Fury Unleashed's level of polished mechanics. Too bad. If they ever add more room variety, some more interesting enemies with better telegraphing and new bosses, it would be much improved.

Cool platform-shooter with rogue-lite elements, a great visual aesthetic, and a great score that matches the gameplay perfectly. The controls usually make or break this sort of game, and while the keybinding options seem limited and default controls are very odd, once you pick up the controller and play for a while it feels spot-on. All the deaths in my runs have been entirely my fault, though some bosses seem much harder than others. That's probably deliberate but it's wrecked a couple of good runs. And speaking of, the game is fairly fast-paced. I play on easy to make up for vision problems and my runs haven't taken me more than fifteen minutes or so.

My only big gripe is only allowing the player one gun, and that's largely because the guns in this are pretty creative. I'd love to get to tool around with the guns but not at the expense of my main gun, which, when upgraded, sprays death. It's a minor thing but maybe by making this one-gun rule optional it would allow players to mix up their gear. Overall, though, this is a fantastic game with great style and completely solid gameplay. You won't find anything too surprising here, but for what it is, Neon Abyss is one of the better ones of its genre.

It starts great, but the more you play and the less interesting the game becomes.



I spent a lot of hours on this game's demo and had a bit of fun so I decided to pick up the full game. What a mistake, I should have stuck with the demo.
The fun little runs turn longer and longer because the final boss and level just gets appended to the end of the next run . Then they introduce a sudden wall of grind tho progress and unlock more progression and the story....
The moment the NPCs start to talk, the game is dead. lines after lines of META developer humor about not finishing a game and creating a filler content for it..........At least they have self awareness.
This literally destroy the small amount of charm that was entirely contained in the visual identity of the pixelart and the retrowave mood.
After the grind part, the next two bosses require you to chance upon an item. That's where I stopped playing.

The gameplay itself is not stellar, the main platforming game loop lacks variety. It gets very boring after about a dozen playthroughs.
Most of the items are dead weight and don't synergize. Very few interesting weapons. Lots of mini games that don't make the game more fun.
None of the unlockable characters are interesting and barely playable most of the time. Everything that you unlock actually makes the game worse!

Despite having a huge amount of content, the game feels unfinshed because none of the elements work together and the developers have no taste.

The basic gameplay loop is good enough to put some time in to. THE REST OF THIS REVIEW IS BAD.

The game then punishes players for no good reason - and not in the good 'challenging difficulty' type way. Every run suffers from lack of resources, automatic RNG based damage for using in-game content and badly executed 'ideas' that are likely copied from elsewhere and clumsily thrown in to this game - an easy example being grenade types that do nothing and a hell of a lot of items or progress that seem to be based on other better roguelikes (eg randomly putting in double damage and items used at higher floors).

This makes Neon abyss the most soul-less game of its kind. Never mind the completely random theme that just seems to be based on 'cool ideas that might sell', everything in it is done in a way that doesn't benefit the player under the guise of 'RNG'. Whether this is constant bad and/or useless OR copy paste items, mechanics that screw the player over (why have pay doors that break after multiple payments, who does that benefit? Why have chests pay out with single coins the majority of the time only to annoy the player?)

Unfortunately, the game cant get away with this in a 'this is fair' kind of way like other roguelikes/lites can. It suffers from frame drops, hitbox issues and phantom damage in every run. Every poor design decision that could be seen as fair in gameplay by people who enjoy not being able to enjoy content becomes a massive problems when your run is constantly effected by technical difficulties. And no, for people who enjoy a challenge this is not saying if you like 'hard' games you'll like this one. This is saying 'The game isn't fair in the first place and you will also get damaged/killed/lose resources due to fundamental problems with the code'. It's not a fair thing you can plan for and get good at, its broken mechanics.

Finally on that note, the amount of sheer un-fun mechanics are mind boggling. The main example for me is the egg mechanic - First off, where does that come from game theme wise? Second, it has a massive visual but almost 0 gameplay impact. The eggs are the biggest waste of time in the game and rarely impact a run, save for one or two items that let them effect the environment that you might get. The biggest peeve though? The multitude of egg based items your character can find (that give near useless benefits for eggs hatching or pets evolving etc) are based off RNG - and low RNG at that, meaning you're effectively picking up dead items. Other problems are enemies - but not you - get about a second of invincibility when spawning meaning you're punished for planning ahead, the Athena/Ares mechanic has a lot of (again purely un-fun) flaws and that most of the unlockables - somehow - make the game less fun in the most admittedly unique but stupid decision I've ever seen in a computer game. I suspect its because, again as a theme of neon abyss, unlockables seem to be poorly executed ideas they thought they'd throw in and hope for the best (Eg. Game rooms). Fortunately someone decided to let you turn these things off but... well, if you're so aware your things aren't fun, why put them in? This isn't for the players, its a lazy apology and backtracking. You may as well play the game at base.

I enjoy challenging roguelikes/lites. I reinstalled the game a week or so after 6 months away from it and tried it again - couldn't believe the amount of issues I ran in to or how many anti-fun/anti-player mechanics existed. This is my first review, because after another attempt to enjoy the game I was blocked constantly by its own mechanics and for the first time ever thought I better warn people off. I wouldn't want to support this kind of content in the industry, so would not recommend, please save your money there are so many better examples of roguelike/lites out there.

Because Steam doesn't let users post reviews in terms of score, I'm forced to give a not recommend because the gameplay is just not that good, though it's still at the least a 6/10. After defeating a boss, you can pick up upgrades, but these mostly affect either your DPS or health and not radically alter gameplay like Enter the Gungeon - a game that serves as obvious inspiration to this game. While this ensures that all boss drops are useful to an extent, it reduces the replay value of the game, a poison for roguelikes. The guns all have infinite ammo, so that's one less aspect of resource management for those seeking them out. The massive downside is that you can only ever hold one gun at a time. This makes combos non-existent and the game very unengaging. In fact, there is a character who can specifically combine two weapons into one as a bandaid solution for this very problem, but the way the combination works is just so lazy and unimaginative it's not worth mentioning - just a combination of those two gun sprites shooting both types of bullets at once.

In terms of quality of life, the game actually does most its job well, with remappable everything and difficulty selection anytime in the hub area with no penalty, you can also customize the weapons and passives to disable the garbage you accidentally unlock, so no more Dead Cell BS here. The one biggest gripe I have, however, is the translation quality. Without mincing words, it's honestly atrocious, combining broken syntax with wrong grammar. While this is mostly limited to the character selection and not item description from what I've seen, it's still grating to see them in-game.

I like the general idea and concept of teh game, but after 8 hours of playtime I saw everything... and its getting boring so quickly... thre are like 12 emnemy types... with different skiny... 16 bosses... and that is not enought for a game you are supposed to play through 999 times... and that is an archivment... in general the variants are mising... especially inthe level designs, every level looks the same.

- Music... generic
- not enough variants to keep my interest
- getting to the final bosses is way to tedious (cursed forms)
- chars play all the same, no big difference
- the wisdom/agression path crystlas are annoying and can be triggered by enemies... needs fixing
- story is flat and doesn't have any right to even exist...
- all items feel the same, text disappears so quickly you cant evenr ead it... no stats window to see changes...
- misses an essential Modding support... could make the game so much better and bigger

- if you want a rough-like game worth your bucks: Binding of isaac is way better and offers 100times more content

Game is good but not great. Pretty repetitive and grindy (and not in a nice rogue-like-lite way). There is really bad RNG usage in this game, linked to items and consumables, that really hurts it, tho i am not going to delve in the issue because other reviewers already have done it in prolific ways and i wouldn´t be adding anything new to the description.

This game is a mediocre roguelite platformer with lots of small issues and an average gameplay.

1) Action packed game like this should have 0 freezes during gameplay which this one sadly don't.
2) Art is distinctly chinese-mobile-game-trashy (not my cup of tea)
3) Progression system is also chinese-mobile-game-trashy, lots of useless or low impact items, almost no real choices.
3b) So each playthrough is more dependent on luck than your skill
4) Basic dodging which is essential for genre is locked behind random item drops
5) Most enemies are boring

As someone who has an obsession with the Binding of Isaac and pixel graphics, I think Neon Abyss is a really great game for having less rage-quit moments. The amount of available items and weaponry is a sight to behold. Whether in a discount or not, defiitely provides a service for its price. If you are looking for some time to kill before the Repentance DLC comes out, or enjoy fast-paced bosses, I definitely recommend checking this game out! :3

This game is fun but buggy. Item descriptions and weapon effects are unclear and poorly worded.

The game handles well enough and the guns are fun, but this feels like one of the least rewarding games I've ever played.

Rewards are often too random. Finally find a chest that you can open? There's a chance that you'll have just wasted your key or grenade on a single dollar coin, or worse, it'll spit out another chest that you can't open.

Speaking of grenades, almost every grenade I've seen has been locked behind a wall or in a barrel that requires a grenade to open. Crystal chests often just refund your crystals and don't give you anything else. Etc, etc.

I want to like this game, but I just feel like I'm spending 90% of the time grinding my teeth over all the stuff that I can't get to because it's locked behind a wall I can't break down, or a chest I can't unlock, or even just because I can't justify opening it because the rewards just likely won't be worth the resources expended. Hell, I even got to where I wasn't bothering to open normal chests that aren't locked just because it felt like a waste of time just to get to them.

If they ever make the loot not feel like such a chore to get at, or hell just remove a lot of it and just keep a few things that I have a chance to get to, I may come back, but for now I'm going to go play something that doesn't spend all it's time teasing me.

I would say it's kind of like the binding of Isaac except it's a 2D side scroller with less punishing gameplay in my opinion. I think it's great for anyone who is just starting to play these types of roguelike games

This game isn't bad at all, but not that good either. The biggest issue I have with it are a lot of useless passive items that do almost nothing and even more majorly the dodging. I've played so many different roguelike games and this one feels the most 'unfair' when getting hit, if you do not receive double jumps or flying, some combinations of rooms and enemies are impossible to dodge. It's just not that fun. If you want a better version of this game, buy enter the gungeon

I love this game and can't stop playing it ! It is exactly what I expect for a video game : easy to learn and hard to master.
It need to be very accurate in your moves and your choices but also to have some luck ! A modern arcade game mixing shooting and gambling that make it very addictive.
Maybe a regret that you have not the items descriptions before grab them (except with some characters) but, ok, I guess it is part of the fun to memorize them.

the game is kinda fun to play at first, but there's some design choices that really ruined the experience for me and I know I never will play it again. First the grind is way over the top to unlock new characters. The amount of time needed is really ridiculous. Next, the 4th boss access is nonsense. You have to play a certain way, and limiting your options by doing so, to progress further. And you're not even guaranteed to access this boss by doing this, since it's still random. So you can just mess up a run for nothing. That's poorly designed in a type of game that usually allows you to build your character depending on the possibilities you are offered.

Neon Abyss will satisfy the craving of anyone looking for a competently made roguelike - just as long as they're fine with immediately forgetting about it once they're done. While the shooting is fun in small doses, the dearth of variety in several areas and unremarkable meme aesthetics lend to the game's ultimately ethereal nature. In a genre with so many trailblazing entries, Neon Abyss fails at even making a mark. Most players would be better served starting a new save file on an old rougelike favorite than diving into this dungeon for the first time.

Terribly generic in terms of gameplay.

-You can't dodge roll by default, means the game is designed for you to move in a pre-determined manner in order to dodge the incoming attacks (compare to something like gungeon where reactionary dodges can be used to avoid incoming attacks).

-Most/all items are uninspiring/uninteresting, you deal more damage, you shoot faster and you shoot more bullets(compare to something to Issac where there are items that completely alter the gameplay loop). So are most/all of the guns, for the most part they just shoot forwards in sightly different ways.

-Inconsistent mechanics are all over the place. Some actions are done towards your mouse and others are done towards the direction that the character is facing. Some actions are done by button taps and some require holding the button for a bit. All for seemingly no reason.

-The game have a rather steep progression tree, almost seem like you're set up to fail until you've upgraded enough. However the currency for upgrading are acquired mostly via the boss of the final stage (with bosses in earlier stages dropping a very low amount). Making failed runs near mandatory yet unrewarding (compare to something like gungeon where most bosses drop the same amount of upgrade currencies, so the further you go the more you're rewarded).

+The mini-game rooms are quite cute and innovative.

+Stylish art. Doesn't hit me personally but it look consistently nice.

One of my new favourite 'Roguelikes'. As roguelike usual: lots of content, lots of items, lots of guns, lots of pets, lots of room design variety and a whole bunch of great boss designs

If you've ever played and loved The Binding of Isaac and/or Enter the Gungeon then you should almost certainly enjoy Neon Abyss.

I'd give it a 9/10 score wise - I hope the developers will continue to add more content and potentially have future expansion packs!

... there's also a Little Panda pet that can follow you around... important!

I don't know what I don't like about this game.
Artstyle is absolutely amazing, music is good, controls are tight. Gameplay _should_ be right up my alley, since I played and finished Enter the Gungeon, Binding of Isaac, and numerous other RNG shooters, but... its something about this game that I just find boring, rather than entertaining.
To me, it just didn't feel fun to clear the rooms, collect random loot, etc...
Maybe upgrades make this more fun, but, I don't know.

If you like games I listed before (Gungeon, isaac), by all means give it a go!

Let me start with saying that this is a great and reallyyy fun rogue-like game. It's a mix of the best rogue-likes combined (Room types like Isaac, combat system like Gungeon and 2D platformer like Spelunky)
There are loads of items and guns to discover, and all the characters are completely different from eachother and fun to try them all out and also fun complete the final bosses with.

Few minor things tho, some enemies and bosses are nearly impossible to dodge and it feels like there is barely a patern you can learn from the enemies and bosses.

The game does need some fixes and feels like it's early access at some points.
But overall I really really reallyyy recommend this game if you like the games, or even one of the games I've listed above. Try out the demo to see for yourself, but it is worth a try!
And I can't wait to see what this game is gonna become and what the developers have in mind.
I'll for sure play this game a lot!

I can't really fathom the whiners that have given negative reviews, as they are without merit. It's a ROGUE-LIKE of course there is RNG! There are good runs and bad runs... that's why we play these games.

That said, this is one of my favorite rogue-likes. The devs do an amazing job with design and a multitude of weapons and power ups that keep the game fresh. I've played 20 hours and haven't reached the final boss, and still have multitudes of characters to unlock. They are keeping up with the game, and I have yet to encounter any errors.

For the price, this game is absolutely worth it. It's not the most challenging rogue-like I've ever played, but it's a great game to boot up at the end of the night when you are winding down.

Don't listen to the contrarians, some people just like to shit on everything.

Really unbalanced. You're either massively resource scare or massively overpowered. The game play loop is meh and while it looks really pretty, it's ultimately kinda unimaginative. So many items are just pop culture references (oooh clever thing with the towel.) but so many of them do exactly the same thing. There are a lot of other better rogue-likes. Go for one of those instead of this re-hashed stack.

Hi, it's a good game, on lot of points such as, game design, characters abilities and the whole loadout you can have and the synergies you can make.
But I never saw such a way to handle a game on PC, every of the updates I saw on the game for now, are on console, or if they are not, those are just fixes for bug, but that's been a long time since we just didn't had a real update. As you can see I haven't touched it in weeks, that's for a good reason. After beating all the bosses tons of times, the boring time begin, the only thing you can do after that, it's to try the Abyssal difficulty wich is not that easy. And after, clearly nothing for the moment.
Seems like they want us to play on experimental servers for ever, not really interested by playing for nothing and begin from the start again when they would do something about it.
For now I'm only giving this game a 2/5 but if finally they do something for the PC users, I'll go back on that to change it

At first I enjoyed this game as its sorta 'my first rogue like' in that its very easy and fast to play compared to other rogue likes. Unfortunately this ends up becoming an issue in the long run, with the small item pool of relatively basic items, lack of enemy types, and simple structure the game ends up becoming a bit boring. This is not the real issue though, it would still make a fun quick play if it wasn't for the bugs. Sometimes 'Free Trial' items just do not work, enemies will sometimes become invincible or locked into one of their two modes, items will not be able to be picked up and these issues mixed with the very vanilla gameplay/synergies leads you to playing near identical runs hindered by bugs every 2-3 playthroughs. Certain pets will block explosive weapons, melee even on the sword character is basically useless and minigames/bosses are incredibly repetitive(sometimes you'll play the same keyboard song 3 times in a row). With a mixture of vanilla rogue like play, bugs and questionable game design Neon Abyss feels like a game that just misses the bullseye in being something great.

Never had any rogue-like game that addictive like this game for awhile, since binding of isaac and dead cells, so is a yes from me, maybe a little to pricey for its content right now, hope the dev will update it (and i think they will, coz there is experimental client that we can also taste within the game).

9/10

P.S. Get famine, for real tho, also a lil bit of gamma ray, and any item that split bullet, then you good to go

I hate to rate this negatively, because it has so much potential and I did enjoy it, but this game feels very incomplete. It should have released in early access, perhaps.

There's been major balance issues, a lot of frustrating design decisions around negative pets and items, extremely grindy skill tree which includes unlocking other characters and not just abilities, and including temporary buffs/items in the skill tree? That feels like a major waste of an already scarce reward.

But then I reached the end of the game, defeated the boss......... and there's nothing. This game has no real ending, nothing rewarding or providing a feeling of completeness once you've 'won'. All that's left is grinding to unlock other characters and rooms, and I'm not interested.

Why does the Office exist above the bar? I had assumed all along that would be part of the ending or post-completion reward, but it does nothing?

It just feels incomplete.

Well, I'm conflicted. This game is honestly incredibly fun, and fairly unique. Plenty of references and tongue in cheek call-outs to other games/series/movies etc.
Pros:
-Colorful lighting is very aesthetically pleasing
-Fantastic Music score, slaps
-Interesting enemy types/patterns. You have to pay attention to which enemies spawn where
-Interesting bosses, learning their patterns was fun, specifically the managers.
-Fun items and Guns (Like i said, references and the character model changes are fun!)

Cons:
-Some rooms feel like damage is unavoidable, and a few enemies spawn inside you sometimes (especially in challenge rooms.
-Game is honestly incredibly easy. I failed 2 total runs between playing the tutorial and finishing the game, and that was because explosive bullets caused me to suicide.
-Enemies, while varied, don't seem to have a pattern. You'll fight the same enemies in the first room your explore that you fight one room before [spoiler] Ares/Athena fight. [/spoiler]
-The wisdom crystal/chest can be triggered by enemies. Often, it'll spawn and instantly get hit by an enemy bullet, ruining your buildup to the particular room.

Overall, I give this game a 7.5/10, with a few suggestions that are entirely personal.
1) Make the wisdom crystals/chests NOT triggerable by enemies, the RNG on that isn't fair or fun.
2) The ability to make your character model smaller via items (or even a crouch feature?) would allow for better dodging ability.
3)Possibly changing the enemy types as you get further, (or [spoiler] in the specific Ares/Athena floors [/spoiler] ) as the game feels like one long level till the end.

Truly, this game is worth a purchase. If you're good at these platform shooter roguelites, you'll find this game best on normal/hard, but easy mode holds your hand enough to enjoy it even if you're not incredible at it. Take this review with a grain of salt, as I play these types of games often, and have fun!

If you seek a good game, BUY NEON ABYSS.

I have played in different popular rogue-like games: Dead Cells, Enter the Gungeon, The Binding of Isaac and others. So I have some experience in this genre. There are many references, my favourite is hero Saya who is the analogue of hero Katana Zero.
This game has amazing graphics and admissible background sounds. I recommend this game to everybody.
Developers made a good game and I hope they will maintain it in the future.

One of the Best Rougelike games on the market.

This Review is based heavily on the exp patch for the game and i would ignore all of the negative reviews with 40hrs or less of playtime. They are most likely people annoyed with features that have been removed in the Exp patch.

The Developers listen so much on the discord and ive never seen so much dev feedback from a small team. i would 100% go drop into the discord and see for yourself.

Now for my actual game review.

Positives:
+Game has a huge skill tree that allows you to pick the items you want at the pace you want. i cant stress how different the game is on skill tree 5 than on skill tree 1.
+Feels rewarding and unlocking characters means an entirely new way to play.
+Endless amounts of synergies like nothing ive ever seen before.
+Fantastic item and weapon design.
+Perfect mix of slow and face paced game-play.
+Gorgeous Visuals and art style i cant fault it at all.
+Its just very fun and fluid to jump into and blast out a few runs.

Negatives:
-Core gameplay loop can be a bit tedious until you get to grips with the game.
-Music can be quite choppy and repetitive and unless you get an enjoyable weapon to listen to they really do clash.
-Lack of Bosses, overall the amount of managers and bosses is just too few.
-Too easy even on hard. I hope they add harder modes to make it more challenging.

Summary:
In short the game is amazing and only held back by very minor issues and flaws. with the amount the devs are listening at the moment i dont see why this game cant be the next big rougelike it has that much potential. The game is a totally different beast when you get to late game and getting the perfect items just feels amazing. you can make the game harder for yourself now but i cant wait until the devs give us an insane difficulty with more managers and bosses. overall i feel like this game is totally worth the money every penny.

Its not too fast paced and just hits you in the sweet spot making you want to play one more run just to see if you can get that amazing rainbow show on the screen. items are perfectly synergised and you feel like a god when you get that perfect seed. almost all of the issues have and will be addressed in the future on the exp build for the game. i cant stress how important it is for you to use the exp build in the beta section of steam properties. it totally changes the game.

All in all i think this game is a hidden gem and is totally worth the money final score 8.5/10

EDIT: So they have added abyssal mode and i have to say after running with it this is the absolute way the game is to be played. it makes the game allot harder and allot more rewarding if you can finish a run. with the addition of this mode and all of the stuff on the Exp Patch the game is easily 9/10

Hi all, the game itself is really fun with its synergies and over the top combinations HOWEVER, this game is buggy, i've lost two runs from having flight and getting stuck somewhere off screen when going to a choice room. The game also sometimes doesn't correctly take inputs and makes it feel disconnected when playing sometimes. I wish i could recommend it but it feels a little underbaked, wait for a patch or a sale.

Fun game but after a while you start itching for a little more.
If you don't get it now, keep an eye on it for later.

Gameplay is grindy and boring. Many other, better options to scratch this itch.
