An FPS with additional roguelike mechanics, made by the creators of Just Die Already and designed for coop gameplay. In Abyssus we can explore the ruins of an ancient civilization. Our goal is to fight for control over brine resources, which are a powerful energy source.
The independent studio DoubleMoose Games became known to a wide audience thanks to the humorous arcade game titled Just Die Already. The next undertaking of this team was clearly a more serious project (although not shying away from unique ideas), namely a cooperative FPS with roguelike elements under the title Abyssus.
In Abyssus the action is viewed from a first-person perspective (FPP).
During the game, we play as researchers who have been delegated to check the ruins erected by an ancient civilization. Our task is to take over the resources of brine, which is a powerful source of energy. This is not easy, because the sunken kingdom is inhabited by twisted creatures who do not like our presence in this place.
The game takes place on procedurally generated maps, and its main focus is eliminating hordes of enemies. Apart from regular enemies, which we eliminate in large quantities, much more powerful bosses stand in our way.
During dynamic battles, we make use of futuristic, "salt-based" weaponry. Our arsenal includes shotguns, machine guns, or more inventive murder tools, such as a rotary cannon.
The game allows us not only to choose suits and weapons according to individual needs and preferences, but also to modify the latter. As we progress, we also gain access to various enhancements that increase our combat potential.
Abyssus allows for single-player gameplay, but the game was designed with online coop in mind.

Game Ratings for Abyssus Video Game.
GameSpew: 7 / 10 by Richard Seagrave
A roguelike first-person shooter with a brinepunk aesthetic, Abyssus provides a lot of frantic fun, especially if played in co-op. Its progression could do with a little work, though, with you needing to grind Soul Fragments to unlock basic upgrades that feel necessary for your survival, alongside some pesky difficulty spikes.

In Abyssus, up to 4 players take on the mantle of brinehunters, intrepid explorers of the depths of the abyss.
Hey Poor Player: 4 / 5 by Andrew Thornton
Despite these concerns, I’ve had a lot of fun with Abyssus, and I imagine I’ll continue to do so. It’s not the most complicated game I’ve ever played, and it has some balance issues, but it just feels so good to blow enemies away and to chain abilities together that can cause massive havoc around you. I’ll just make sure that when I come back to Abyssus, I’m consistently doing it with a crew of friends who are all ready to cause even more of that mayhem with me.
