Set in fantasy reality side-scrolling platformer, which was created by Chilean studio ACE Team, whose achievements include Zeno Clash and Rock of Ages. In the game, we play as one of three heroes who differ in individual abilities and preferred fighting techniques and we set off on a journey into the depths of the abyss to defeat the evil that inhabits it and receive the reward of eternal life.

Abyss Odyssey is a downward journey into the depths of the unknown. Developed by ACE Team (Zeno Clash series, Rock of Ages), Abyss Odyssey is dripping with Art Nouveau style. In the game, three warriors are available to challenge the titular abyss: the bold Katrien, the tortured specter Ghost Monk, and the ethereal Pincoya. But no matter how powerful these warriors get, their descent is a circular trip - the action adventure of Abyss Odyssey is infinitely replayable.

The side-scrolling levels never play out the same way twice - be it the monsters they are filled with, the locations of life-saving merchants, or the pathways between levels. There are only two constants in Abyss Odyssey: a great evil awaits at the bottom of the pit, and succeed or die, the warriors will have to battle the abyss for eternity. But the enemies in the abyss are no mere fodder - each one has a complex set of moves. They also have a weakness: almost every enemy can be possessed and controlled by the player...

Players who brave the dangers in Abyss Odyssey will encounter

• The Infinite Abyss - Procedurally generated levels will allow the three warriors to battle for eternity.

• Technically Deep - Since combat is the core of the game, ACE Team specifically focused on implementing fighting game mechanics into the action. Dodge-cancels and other technically demanding techniques will unlock the warriors' true powers in combat.

• Know Thy Enemy - Possess almost any enemy in the game to use its skills and combat abilities...each foe is as technically complex as the main warriors.

• ACE Developed - From the independent team behind some of the most boldly creative, aesthetically interesting titles: the Zeno Clash series and Rock of Ages.

Examiner: 4 / 5 by Cory Wells

Abyss Odyssey is going to appeal to a certain audience. If you are one with that audience, you will truly enjoy the experience that this game has to offer. For casual gamers, the difficulty might be too much, but it is an adventure game that you basically just jump into.

Gaming Nexus: 7 / 10 by Matt Mirkovich

Abyss Odyssey: Extended Dream Edition does a bit of polishing to the core game, but it still has a few flaws that make it hard to rave about this title. But for those that are interested and dedicated, the experience is ultimately rewarding and satisfying.

PC Gamer: 55 / 100 by Emanuel Maiberg

A delightfully weird aesthetic is wasted on a fighting game-platformer hybrid with shallow combat and structural twists that failed to grab me.
