    A bizarre adventure through and through, Made in Abyss is an excellent adaptation of a very popular and interesting anime! The gameplay loop, story and design make this a great little adventure game with plenty of unique challenges and gameplay elements. For fans of the anime this is a no-brainer, absolutely buy it and enjoy! For non-fans, if this genre appeals, then this game is one to watch. It's absolutely worth the time it takes to learn how to play it correctly, even if the goal is just to see what gruesome event takes place next!

    Made in Abyss stays true to Akihito Tsukushi's original work, reminding us just how intriguing and mysterious his world can be. The new story expands its universe even further, but the somewhat clunky control and unstable performance screws up much of the gameplay experience.

    Made in Abyss: Binary Star Falling into Darkness is a good adaptation of the series, but with some weak points. While its story is interesting, resulting in both a summary of what fans already know and something new, some of its mechanics are frustrating, and its gameplay can sometimes be labeled as repetitive. All in all, it is a highly recommended purchase for those who enjoy challenging games and dark narratives.

    1. not much replayability, no random generated quest. quest is linear
    2. randomized relics is just between show or hidden in same place. the    1. not much replayability, no random generated quest. quest is linear
    2. randomized relics is just between show or hidden in same place. the location not randomized
    3. its not a surival game or any element of resource managment adventure, its just grindfest "gather and back to hq". for example in first area in west you need 5 rope to descend and safely get back to HQ , but the rope material itself only have 2 material placed in area and you need 2 material to create 1 rope. so to get 5 rope you need to gather material, go back to HQ, gather material, go back to HQ, gather material, go back to HQ, gather material, go back to HQ, gather material, go back to HQ, gather material, go back to HQ, rinse and repeat until you have 5 rope so you can descend and ascend safely.

    the game is better if implement roguelite + random generated area. waste potential    … Full Review »

    a very nice game, I would consider it a real love card towards the anime, the possibility to explore the first 6 layers and know more deeplya very nice game, I would consider it a real love card towards the anime, the possibility to explore the first 6 layers and know more deeply the creatures that live there Is very nice. The only bad thing I found is that there are events that are not exactly canonical but which still provide a longer average lifespan to the game and in a fairly natural way. I sincerely hope they continue this game, it's really worth buying it being a survival game different from many others.… Full Review »
