    Lunar Abyss delivers one of the most exhilarating FPS campaigns in recent memory, combining fast-paced combat, inventive boss encounters, and surreal platforming into a tightly focused sci-fi adventure. Kwalee Labs channels inspiration from DOOM Eternal while carving out its own identity through creative level design, dreamlike atmosphere, and consistently rewarding gameplay systems. While some narrative choices and underdeveloped mechanics hold it back from true greatness, the core experience is so thrilling that it remains hard to put down.

    Luna Abyss uses the framework of a first-person shooter as an easy pill to swallow down its distinctly bizarre existence. In this universe of gripping, alien weirdness, players may get lost in an obtuse plot that gleefully plays with expectations as layer after layer is uncovered for meaning. All the while, it is a bullet hell that works to feed new mechanics to the player keeping them as equally engaged with the gameplay as they are with the narrative. Though strange, it’s difficult not to be transfixed by what Luna Abyss has to offer.

    On its own merits, Luna Abyss is a tightly put together first person shooter/platformer with an interesting enough story and concept. The gunplay is rewarding and not bogged down by tacked-on upgrade mechanics. The platforming is a neat little mix of brute force and lateral thinking, sometimes both simultaneously.

    Luna Abyss introduces you to a dark and intriguing world where you complete tasks for someone called the All-Father to reduce your prison sentence. What follows is an adventure that combines first-person platforming and bullet-hell combat, and it holds your attention throughout – despite some minor issues along the way.

    Despite some ropey platforming and some uneven pacing, Luna Abyss is a compelling debut from a new indie studio.

    If you want to get lost in an eerie yet super-stylish game world that's filled with visceral combat and nifty challenges then play Luna Abyss.

    Luna Abyss is a dystopian first-person shooter in which the story, characters, and platforming sections take precedence over the shootouts. However, the boss battles provide the necessary dose of action.
