Abyssus: First Impressions
When Abyssus first surfaced during last year’s PC Gaming Show, I was immediately captivated by its luminous firearms. They promised a unique experience in the co-op FPS genre, showcasing the capacity for dynamic customization. Drawing inspiration from popular titles such as Deep Rock Galactic and Warhammer 2: Vermintide, Abyssus aims to combine the excitement of extensive arsenal diversity with breathtaking visuals.
Deep-Sea Aesthetic and Customization
The game’s enchanting deep-sea aesthetic stands out, especially evident in its newest trailer unveiled at the Future Games Show. Viewers were treated to a glimpse of an array of beautifully designed weapons, including the shotgun, engine rifle, and the intriguing brinerevolver. Each weapon appears to have customizable features, allowing players to adapt their firearms on the fly. This aspect is further emphasized in the release notes, which highlight modifications like the concentrated shot mod for the engine rifle, providing a knockback effect against foes.
Anticipation for the Demo and Full Release
With the promise of variance, Abyssus seems well-equipped to cater to fans of the roguelite genre. It’s exciting to anticipate its demo release, although a specific date is yet to be announced. As we await its full launch later this year, this title looks to carve a niche in a competitive field of co-op roguelike shooters. While it has a lot going for it, one thing is certain: the unique aesthetic and customization options of Abyssus make it a title worth watching.
