  Truly a good surprise. This game is very addictive, well made, and has a lot of content (I mean a REAL lot) : different classes with their own gameplay (ranged or melee), tons of items, secrets, various game modes, time attack, rankings, even a card mini-game ! If like me you're a big fan of Spelunky, you'll feel like home as some concepts are quite similar. Same ingredients, different flavor, yet you get the same satisfying sensations (and the frustrating ones of course). Only downside is the weird language used in the game, kind of destabilizing if english is not your first language. I highly recommand this game to any retro plateformer enthusiast.

  Insanely slept on. Spelunky + Megaman on a fever trip. Immensely impressive amount of content and polish. Less spiteful than Spelunky -- the instant deaths are gone, but the gameplay remains difficult and intense. My preferred platformer roguelike.

  I think this'll be one of my forever games along with Spelunky 1, Monolith, Vampire Survivors/Boneraiser Minions/Gunlocked, and Downwell. I might very well end up preferring this game to Spelunky 1 -- and definitely prefer it to Spelunky 2 -- as Spirits Abyss just has a ton of meat to it, and cuts back on the instakills that really kill the pace of those games. The writing here is not for me but it's hardly necessary to pay attention to it, and it might just be going for something I'm not yet getting. Anyway, this game's awesome. Don't sleep on it.

  With over 1,200 hours in Binding of Isaac, almost 400 in Spelunky HD, and 100% completion in them both, believe me when I say that I appreciate roguelikes. In particular, I vibe with downward exploration games such as SteamWorld Dig, Noita, and Caveblazers. This game is a criminally underrated addition to that list. I feel confident that this game will surge in popularity once a few more Spelunky content creators come across it. It's very clear that a lot of love and care went into designing this game, both aesthetically and functionally. Please give it a shot before it becomes popular and cringe. :)

  "Praise be to the moon of blood................ALL HAIL THE BLOOD MOON!!" https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2950051285 So sometimes you come across a game that just grabs hold of you by the scruff of the neck and just doesn't let go and this is one such game!! Addictive and just seems to add more and more to it's self every time you play and unlock new game modes and items!! Now looking at it you may think "Look at those graphics.........not impressed by those" but as I have said many times in the past "Great Graphics Do Not Always A Great Game Make" and this is one game that really personifies that quote and belief!! https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2949974650 And to be honest the developer who made this game also made Boneraiser Minions which is another game that just like this took me completely by surprise with just how good it was and how much content the game actually had!! So would I recommend this one then?? !!YOU BET YOUR REJECTED THROWN DOWN A HOLE LITTLE PERSON I DO!! https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2951948753 "You are our only hope child and only you can stop him and end this cycle of...........DREAD!!" (!!One of my favourite moments was trying to help the Old Fart escape his predicament..........you'll just have to play it to see what I mean..........HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!)

  damn ok, I was not expecting this. So I found this game from Olexa's video titled "They've Made the PERFECT Roguelike Game" with essentially the mix of Spelunky 2d platforming with items with synergies from Isaac. First impressions, I was a little mixed on the artstyle. On one hand, most of my favourite games are pixel art games and it has a very interesting theme of death and dark fantasy, on the other hand, it looked very cluttered and hard to look at cause i had no idea what i was mostly looking at on the page. But after playing this game to 100% completion. I can safely say this is one of my favourite rogue-like games. I've played a lot of rogue-like games, my all time childhood classic and favourite being Spelunky HD and 2. I wanted to play this game, and hearing that this game is up there with Spelunky made me want to play it even more. This game is packed with a lot of content with the price of only 14.50 AUD, that is insanely good. It has many classes like Isaac, some of them are doo doo like Minesmithers, and some of them being straight up broken like Technocrats and Bonehaunted if played well. The artstyle that I was once unsure would like, is now something i adore in this game. Caiys artstyle is present in his other games, which some people may not like, but I actually don't mind this, I've grown a huge liking to his dark fantasy style. This game's difficulty is something I like more than Spelunky, the perma-deaths are no where near as frequent as Spelunky HD and 2. The only thing I can think of that can insta kill you are the spikes in Perditions Path, but even then, it can be easily avoided if you have pure hearts from previous levels which arn't that uncommon. This game is most certainly easier while also feeling like a good challenge with every gamemode, the main 3 games being Lexicanium Hunt, Restless Adventures, and Undying Pilgrimages. Both Lexicanium Hunt and Restless Adventures having their own seperate bosses, while Undying Pilgrimage has both bosses, another final boss, 11 stages and contains a stage pretty similar to Cosmic Ocean from Spelunky 2, but only 2/3 stages long. There are other cool game modes like a card game, competitive leaderboard, and Cabins Reminiscel which is a cool grindy and experimental gamemode. The achievements were the real challenge, mainly the 0 gold Undying Pilgrimage. The achievements are certainly harder than Spelunky's achievements IMO. If you like the Spelunky series, definitely give this game a shot, it's got it's own cool ideas and is much easier while still being a challenge, like come on, one of the extra stages in the game is literally a randomizer of all the levels combined, that is sick. Some people say this game is superior to Spelunky, and even though I love this game, no.

  Anthony Case is essentially a Stephen King of rogue-lites, and probably the most self-aware game developer when it comes to this not so humble genre that dominates the indie scene. This game is clearly inspired by Spelunky but I think we can safely say that it has plenty of features that make it a unique experience. What I love about Caiysware games is that he understands the genre so well, it becomes a liability, I think the developer is too smart (as you can see with 2% of players that found the final boss). Just a warning, this final version of this review is going to be pretty biased and perhaps justifiably so, I very much love this game, in more ways than one, it reminded me of 'no hand-holding' classics that are so dear to my heart. I bought it about a year ago on the first day of early access, I knew it was something really special but I still could not grasp the full picture because there is so much hidden content. Even for a genre veteran like me, this game had more than a few surprises. As with most games in this genre, Spirits Abyss is about replay value and unlocking more variety that does not directly affect the power progression - you can unlock new modes, characters, zones and so on. To find the final boss you have to beat the game on 3 different modes, while each new difficulty has more floors and individual leaderboards. Additionally, the game has a very neat card game but you have to unlock additional creatures by playing the rogue-lite. Furthermore, the game also has this weird adventure like mode where you have to bring back items from your runs, I mean it's really amazing how much **** he managed to fit in this little concept. What I love about Spirits Abyss is that even with all of that content, the developer did not overlook even the smallest details, there is so much love and personality to every aspect of the game, not to mention all of the hidden trinkets. Arguably the best 'risk vs reward' elements the genre has to offer (perhaps borrowed from other games, but expanded upon for sure), there are so many randomized events that allow you to wager your resources and micromanage your consumables to a greater effect. Almost every item in the game has some kind of niche purpose, ironically except the map that I never look at because it seems redundant. One of my favorite items is the magic wand that can either put you very high on the gold leaderboard or completely **** you up, the RNG is frustrating but in a good way. Each character has some unique perks that are further expanded upon with unique class items that you get between each stage. Even though some characters are stronger, each score board is separate so I never felt bad about playing the trashy clan, if anything it is a challenge. I just love experimenting with each clan and finding new ways to push the gold score, every time I think I maximized the numbers I find new ways to improve it. [h1] Pros: [/h1] + a ton of content, secrets and replay value + several characters with unique clan items + card minigame and additional exploration mode + strong risk vs reward elements + gameplay is great, no hand-holding + individual leaderboards + awesome visuals + nice achievement support [h1] Feedback: [/h1] [u] Lack of Orginal music [/u] - the music in this game fits it really well, I tend to identify the soundtrack with this game, but unfortunately it's one of the few things this developer does not do himself. I understand that you don't have the time to do everything as an indie developer, but if there is one thing that removes some character from this game, it is lack of original soundtrack. Maybe not every song needs to be original but I would like a song by Anthony Case. [u] Accessibility of content [/u] - this is not a problem with the game but I think the progression is a little cryptic unless you really put the time in. I think Case just makes the games for the roguelite nerds and if you are that person it works great, if you not, you might have a hard time. It's a shame that developer put all this effort into the game and then you realize 2% of players have the achievement for beating the last boss. When some of the content is based on RNG you have to be someone that wants to replay this game a lot to see it. There is a lot of content, but you do have to work for it. (apparently there is a cheat to unlock everything, but hey I don't buy games to skip them) [u] Potentially frustrating difficulty curve [/u] - perhaps my only objective problem with the game is that difficulty in some areas makes no sense. One of the starting areas is actually a lot harder than some of the later content, so you can see why some people may not have a good time learning the game. I don't have a problem with how hard it is in general (probably it is for most people), but I just think there is room for improvement and just making the game a bit more friendly. [b] Overall Thoughts: 10/10 [/b] Even though I can nitpick many things about the game in general, I can understand every decision that developer made and ultimately I think he made a very special game. Most of all, Spirits Abyss has so much personality and content to offer, but you have to put in the time to find it. It's my personal favorite rogue-lite ever made, it made me laugh so many times, and even after 50+ hours I still find ways to enjoy it. Maybe it's not for everyone, but for what I look for in this genre, it has everything that I love. Beautiful game and the developer is amazing at taking feedback, auto-buy all his games from now on.
