The hopping electronica soundtrack is limited but fits the game and action quite well. The spectacle is fun to watch even if it ends up cluttered at times.
#Topnotch loot review full
Not to mention the visuals and animations are top-notch and bursting full of groovy color. With violence, you get a choice of three but must sacrifice your maximum health to do so. With Wisdom, you get a choice of two items. Maxing either of them unlocks a room with a choice of loot. Shoot the crystal objects and it erases your wisdom and replaces it with violence instead. You raise it further by clearing rooms without taking damage. Essentially there are crystal objects you can spend crystals on, doing so raises your wisdom. This is further pushed by the Wisdom and Violence system. I like games to have more player agency than what Neon Abyss offers, yet it remains fun due to the tight-knit nature and solid skill ceiling. You don’t have much say in the loot you acquire, you’re just along for the ride. What I mean is, the combat’s on the shallow end, all your really doing is dodging and shooting at the most basic level. (Yes I made a souls comparison, wanna cry about it?) The moment to moment combat is incredibly solid and even addicting in a sort of souls like way. It feels good to learn and take down a boss without taking a single hit and you will definitely feel yourself improve at the game, even easy mode isn’t a pushover and requires you to stay on your toes. You need to dodge attacks to win, at least until you’re an overpowered unstoppable badass. While you pick up all manner of insane offensive ordinance, the defensive concept never changes. They all have predictable and telegraphed attack patterns and skillfully learning to dodge them is the key to the game. The enemies you encounter within the randomly generated labyrinth are well designed and varied. Mastering the game, however, is no easy task. You can toss bombs and you occasionally have an ability you can use with one of the bumpers or triggers. You aim using the right stick which also automatically shoots in the direction you’re aiming while also moving and jumping around.
Your overall goal is to defeat the underworld’s new management. You spend these gems to add new items to the already huge item pool, unlock new characters, dungeon room types or even rules to be applied in future dungeons. When you kick the bucket, you respawn in the Abyss Bar but you keep any gems you had earned. Neon Abyss is a rogue-lite where you take on randomly generated dungeons full of enemies, loot, and danger. Since a sketchy figure in a suit hands you a drink right before you plummet into the Abyss, I’m inclined to believe you’re just tripping really hard instead. Neon Abyss isn’t much for story, supposedly you’re helping Hade’s boot out the new and more modern Gods from the underworld. Joseph Pugh conducted this review on a standard Xbox One console on a variety of difficulty settings. Neon Abyss is a side-scrolling rogue-lite shooter available on Steam, Xbox One (including game pass), PlayStation 4, and Nintendo Switch.
