Neon Abyss

Excellent bullet hell metroidvania with all that cyberpunk-ish flair.

ive played far too much of this game on everything but steam

Don't be fooled by the low hours, I've played this for many hours on my switch.

Do not pay full price for this game. DO NOT pay full price for this game. Wait for a steep sale. This is a fun enough game when it's really cheap but it has too many flaws to recommend under any other circumstance. The levels are boring to look at. The enemies are generic little goobers that aren't interesting to fight. You can't see what upgrades are going to do until you choose them, which is a cardinal sin for a roguelike; you literally have to memorize what items and guns do to have a chance of building somewhat optimally. Many upgrades are for your melee weapon which you will never ever use unless you're crazy, if you're in melee range you're taking damage. Many upgrades that aren't melee focused still completely suck. Many guns suck. There's so much crap on the screen it becomes impossible to keep track of it all, ensuring you will get hit. The lack of a dodge roll or dash is painfully felt. Weapon upgrades you pick up will change how your character looks, typically making them look stupid. The game is grindy as heck, meta progression is slow and there really isn't that much to be gained from it. Finally, it's a bit glitchy on steamdeck.

All that said, if you can score this game for six bucks or less it's a fun enough casual game with a decently cool aesthetic and some cool bosses and guns. This game shouldn't be your priority, but it'll fill the void if you get tired of all the other colorful twin stick roguelikes. I recommend playing it on easy to make up for the frustration.

Was enjoying myself until I ran into a bug which prevents dropping down through platforms, making softlocks extremely common. From a quick internet search I found multiple forum posts reporting this bug going back several years, which evidently hasn't led to any fixes. It's unfortunate, as I enjoyed the little I played before the bug kicked in, but given the lack of action for such a gamebreaking bug I would recommend you not purchase the game.

I've played a ton of this game on my Switch (currently 40+ hours). It's a really fun roguelite shooter, and the gameplay surprisingly hasn't become boring for me yet. I think that the massive number of items that you can collect during a run makes you feel like you're getting new items every run, when you actually just forgot the items were in the game. I just wish they updated the game more often.

neon ass

If you got time to waste try this game

This game is very good, even though it won't be updated in 2024, because I like pixel games, I'm ready to go through it quietly. I love such games, I bought the game on all plotfors wherever possible, and I do not regret it. I approve the purchase.

A mishmash of a bunch of roguelike concepts that every other roguelike does better. Boring and uninspired. 4/10

good

I've played before but now got it on steam. Fun rogue like, not hard, would recommend.

yes
