    This game straight up hates you. Pets that are 100% detrimental like the blue doctor. Explosive weapons and perks are a death sentence especially with the shield orb pet.

    The devs clearly hate the game too as they clearly never finished a single game on Switch. So many crashes I lost count. Black screen hang killed an epic run 1 level before the Manager. Massive framerate drops    This game straight up hates you. Pets that are 100% detrimental like the blue doctor. Explosive weapons and perks are a death sentence especially with the shield orb pet.

    Massive framerate drops throughout every aspect of the game. Drops are especially bad in piano room where precision is required. Insanely cluttered visuals where dangers are impossible to see. Cheap enemy design where they appear instantly on top of you

    This game clearly needs about another year of balancing, bug fixing and optimizing.

    Absolutely mind boggling to think these devs have actually created a game before. Did they learn nothing?    … Expand

    Nice rouglike with many similarities to Binding of Isaac and Enter the Gungeon. Would recommend but after they fix the framerate. Currently it's unplayable on switch due to frames dropping even to only 5-10 per second.

    The game is very fun and addictive, but...it's virtually unplayable on the switch. Bad fps when there is a lot on the screen, constant crashes and gamebreaking bugs when you progress. I will stop playing until this is updates. Way too frustrating now. Score will be changed when an update fixes this.

    The game is really great but don't buy on switch, there are bad fps. Without exaggerating, when fighting a boss, the game had 5 fps, it's unplayable :(

    Its a hybrid of multiple games of the same genre, mostly enter the gungeon and dead cells except this is poorly executed, there is no dodge mechanic you can only jump around and more often then not you'll find yourself stuck in a corner due to limited mobility, I laughed when I came across the first boss which is 2 balls, if you kill one the other gets stronger, this boss is rippedIts a hybrid of multiple games of the same genre, mostly enter the gungeon and dead cells except this is poorly executed, there is no dodge mechanic you can only jump around and more often then not you'll find yourself stuck in a corner due to limited mobility, I laughed when I came across the first boss which is 2 balls, if you kill one the other gets stronger, this boss is ripped straight out of enter the gungeon.

    Tldr, just buy enter the gungeon    … Expand

    Should be fun, but there are a tons of bugs :
    1) character randomly disappear at some point during the game. Items also disapear in shop and others rooms, got black screen randomly when i enter in a room
    2) After re-download and wipe all saved datas, now my game crash at the end of the 2nd boss (when i die or when i kill him). So i can't go further than the 2nd boss 3) Some weapons    Should be fun, but there are a tons of bugs :

    3) Some weapons that throw grenade, randomly explode at my face, especially when i fire down. (it is not because of eggs or pets or anything else).

    4) A huge down of FPS during some bosses and when too much element is on the screen.

    5) I wanted to submit this bug report on their website, but it also didn't work, got some error.

    Don't buy this game now, wait fixes !    … Expand

    Great styling and gameplay. On the switch the game is basically unplayable huge frame rate drops that lead to crashes back to the main menu always happening in the middle of huge boss fights. They could fix it but right now the game is unplayable

    A game with a fun playable essence, a sensation of successful shooting and constant challenge, but with some unbalanced design decisions, especially those that aimed at better and greater content compared to its progression system.

    Those who love The Binding of Isaac and Enter the Gungeon will find an awful lot to like here. The gameplay is fast and fluid, the presentation striking, and there is a huge amount to keep coming back for. There are tons of things to unlock that change up subsequent runs, unique seeds to master the most enjoyable versions of levels, and even an insanely challenging difficulty mode to unlock. The biggest issue is the small amount of rooms to pull from when generating a stage. It's not too noticeable for a few play-throughs, but for the players who will run this over and over, it really detracts from the experience.

    Neon Abyss plays like a panic-stricken, action, rouge game that knows exactly what it wants to be from beginning to the end. The guns are big, the options are plentiful, and randomness is the name of the game. The boss battles left me a bit empty, but this game is definitely more than a glass half full.
