Neon Abyss

Mechanics

Before players begin their adventure in Neon Abyss, they choose one of several characters that differ in of appearance and skills. During the game, one observes the action from the side perspective. When traversing the procedurally generated locations, players jump between platforms, avoid traps and eliminate hordes of opponents (led by powerful bosses).

The creators provided an extensive arsenal of firearms and futuristic guns like laser rifles. In addition, as players progress, they gain items that provide them with a variety of ive skills, the effects of which can be freely mixed with each other. Eggs have also been scattered underground, and animal companions with special abilities are hatched and their potential increases as they level up.

If the player gets killed, he or she can go back to the Day's End bar, where they prepare for the next playthrough. It should be ed that every death leads to changes in the layout of locations arranged in a clever labyrinth; over time, players unlock new rooms offering previously unavailable items and challenges. All this is complemented by mini-games involving, among other things, dancing or even playing the piano.
