    Neon Abyss Where do I start this game is very good the gameplay is there it has a lot of cool things power-ups different characters this is the perfect dungeon shooter I've played in a long time even the boss fights are challenging the dungeons change every time you play, the game fondly reminded me of Castlevania Symphony Of The Night during my time with it as the retro version everythingNeon Abyss Where do I start this game is very good the gameplay is there it has a lot of cool things power-ups different characters this is the perfect dungeon shooter I've played in a long time even the boss fights are challenging the dungeons change every time you play, the game fondly reminded me of Castlevania Symphony Of The Night during my time with it as the retro version everything about this game is straight up very well done the way the game is setup is a bight and colorful experience with new formulas added to the genre. The only issues I had with the game is the upgrade system and the desired power-ups are hard to come by each time you play. The rooms generate every fresh play, this definitely makes it unique and stand out from the other games in the same genre, and also keeps the game feeling fresh for much longer, so if you looking for a challenging retro inspired game with eye candy and variety Neon Abyss is sure to scratch that itch. It's fun and is a game I have no issue with recommending to those looking for something new and refreshing to play without breaking the bank. Well done Team17.… Expand

    This game is so good, lots of bright colors, lots of bosses and powerups. Everytime you play there is something new.

    Wow.... As a youngster that grew up playing 8 bit games on a Commodore 64 because of my 80s obsessed dad this is a 16 bit breath of fresh AIR! recommend to ANYONE that loves dungeon crawlers and platformers.

    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!

    The empowerment and novelty of toppling gods made me look past the fact that Neon Abyss might be a bit too easy for vets familiar with this style of play. On the other hand, this makes it a great starting point for those craving a more forgiving difficulty curve, or newcomers wanting to begin their exploration of the Roguelike genre.

    It’s not easy, but then, nothing fun usually is right off the bat. Give it time, get used to the mechanics, and Neon Abyss will take place as that frustratingly fun game in your library.

    Neon Abyss is chaotic, fast and very enjoyable. Unfortunately, it's held back by its repetitiveness and the lack of variety.
