    Feel[s] more like a flashy RPG Maker project than an actual published title.

    Unfortunately doesn’t live up to the developer’s previous high standards that were set by Demon Gaze.

    Operation Abyss isn't the best dungeon rpg on Vita, but it's still a good game and I enjoyed it a bit more than Demon Gaze since its challengeOperation Abyss isn't the best dungeon rpg on Vita, but it's still a good game and I enjoyed it a bit more than Demon Gaze since its challenge was more solid and I felt I had more options.
