Warriors Abyss is fantastic. A review will be coming in the next week or so, but the shadow dropped spin-off is well worth your time and money.
Ultimately it’s a small budget affair but I can’t exaggerate what a breath of fresh air it is. I don’t know how successful it has been or how much money it needs to make back.
But what I know is that after the far too wordy tutorial, this game just clicked. In a way that a game from a major publisher hasn’t in a good while.
This wasn’t about story, big budget cutscenes or on-rails action scenes. This is a game. A fun game. Players of indie games won’t be surprised at this revelation.
Fun games exist in their multitudes when you get away from the big publishers. And besides, Warriors Abyss isn’t shy in the way it borrows from other titans of its genre, such as Hades.
