    This is absolutely one of my favorite games! I have not found a rouge-like game that I enjoyed before playing Neon Abyss. From the art style to the music and variety of weapons and enemies, I can't get enough!

    Neon Abyss is just fine – it is a traditional rouge like that doesn't do anything particularly spectacular to stand out from the crowd. I can't recommend the game if you haven't played Isaac or Gungeon, but if you really need a new rouge like, Neon Abyss is fine.

    If Enter the Gungeon, Contra, and Gunstar Hero’s were all gene spliced in a laboratory then Neon Abyss would be that life form. Great gun mechanics that play with physics and any pre conceived notion you may be expecting. Not to mention character specific abilities and quirks that can out right change the game experience making each new choice or idea feel fresh and engaging!

    Neon Abyss combines fun running and shooting mechanics with decent rogue-like mechanics and puts it all in a quirky setting. We like it a lot.

    Neon Abyss really shines when you you have unlocked enough upgrades to experience the carnage in full.2 Getting to that point, however, can feel like a long, hard slog. If you’re up for the challenge, persevere and this will offer you a dense, addictive experience that you’ll keep coming back to. [Issue#179, p.80]

    A good run with a favorite weapon perks things up, but having beaten all the available bosses and only unlocking access to the third tier of goods, doesn’t leave me pushing to find out what else is there. It’s a little gripe, and one that ultimately only detracts from the game once you’ve definitely gotten through it. That aside, Neon Abyss is an absolute joy. Having put plenty of times into other games like this, Neon Abyss is the first where it felt like the deck was stacked equally between the enemies and the player. Sometimes, the random swings go the enemies’ way, and you find no bombs, no keys, and die to spikes while making what should have been a super easy jump. Other times, the screen is a solid wall of enemy eating fire and you are its master, leaving gods to cry and shudder in your wake. I like those runs.
