Neon Abyss

Neon Abyss is a fun, fast-paced twist on the rogue-like genre with a solid core gameplay loop. Although it brings new ideas to the table in the form of collectible eggs, and it has a good variety of weapons, enemies and synergies, it's not without its drawbacks. Performance issues, the lack of the genre's typical dodge button, and the chaotic room design all prevent Neon Abyss from being a must buy title.

Neon Abyss is a game that offers a lot, but we have the feeling it's going to be a bit of an also-ran in the roguelite genre. If so, that's a shame, because it's an enormous amount of fun, with a good challenge, lovely controls and plenty of scope for craziness: which is all a roguelite really needs to be compelling. As long as you don't expect to be blown away, we can give Neon Abyss a strong recommendation. It's up there with the best roguelites on the Switch: it's just a shame it wasn't there first.

Neon Abyss is a highly playable action-roguelike with a huge number of perks and weapons to take on the ever-growing horde of monsters that show up in each room.

Neon Abyss is a decent project in its genre, which simply lacks original mechanics and content.

Neon abyss it’s a pixel art, rogue like with a ton of color and frenetic experience Just grab a lot of crazy and strange items and throw them into this mix and a pinch of random generated dungeons with always different enemies and you get this colorful and frenetic adventure! Put it together with a perfectly made soundtrack and there you have! A lot of hours with a lot of fun and entertainment!

Those who love The Binding of Isaac and Enter the Gungeon will find an awful lot to like here. The gameplay is fast and fluid, the presentation striking, and there is a huge amount to keep coming back for. There are tons of things to unlock that change up subsequent runs, unique seeds to master the most enjoyable versions of levels, and even an insanely challenging difficulty mode to unlock. The biggest issue is the small amount of rooms to pull from when generating a stage. It's not too noticeable for a few play-throughs, but for the players who will run this over and over, it really detracts from the experience.

Binding of Isacc meets Enter the Gungeon when Neon Abyss struts into town. This spectacular Roguelite has you literally falling into the abyss whilst hurling an endless stream of bullets, lasers and bubbles at a never ending supply of squishy monsters.

Neon Abyss is among those games that have great ideas and the developers have succeeded in implementing them. But that are holding the game back to become one of the best Rouge-like games. knowing Team 17, I am sure that they are going to address these issues in the future updates and the value of the game in going to be higher than what it is now. But still the game could bring an enjoying experience to those familiar with the genre.

Neon Abyss offers a good alternative for those who likes the genre with a well told new-age gods theme and plenty of equipment, but it won't be able to find itself a spot amongst the best.

Neon Abyss may not be a revolutionary title, but it offers tons of fast-paced fun and despite its minor technical issues, it's a great experience that shouldn't be missed..
