FPP action adventure game with asynchronous multiplayer mode. In Phantom Abyss we play as treasure hunters and by moving through procedurally generated temples and avoiding traps and other dangers, we try to get legendary relics.
Phantom Abyss is an action adventure game with asynchronous multiplayer mode, in which we play as treasure hunters exploring dangerous temples taken straight from the Indiana Jones movies. The game was developed by an independent Australian studio Team WIBY, and it was published by Devolver Digital.
In Phantom Abyss, the action was shown from a first-person perspective (FPP). The gameplay takes place in procedurally generated temples hiding both countless riches and numerous dangers. Moving forward, we avoid the ubiquitous traps (from spikes sticking out of the ground, through sinkholes, to deadly pendulums) and jump over chasms, as well as search for chests with keys that allow us to get into deeper and deeper recesses of the ancient ruins. Our ultimate goal is to reach the very end of a temple, where a legendary relic awaits. After obtaining it, the ruins are sealed and no one has an access to them. In case of failure, however, we cannot return to the already visited temple, and the legendary relic hidden there awaits the next adventurer.
Along the way through the ruins we acquire various minor treasures and relics, which can be exchanged on special altars for divine blessings such as double or extended jump, jump with a slide or protection from damage. In addition, we can use a whip to cross the river, which allows us to overcome terrain obstacles more efficiently, and often also serves as a last resort before death (for example, when we fall into an abyss, we still have a short moment to react and use the whip on an element of the environment). As we progress, we unlock more types of them. Each of them provides us with a small blessing, which facilitates the gameplay to a small extent; apart from that, however, they are encumbered with curses, which, although at first they may seem trivial, in the deeper recesses of the temple can make our lives seriously difficult.
Phantom Abyss offers an asynchronous multiplayer mode. Although we play solo, we are accompanied by the "ghosts" of players who previously tried to defeat the temple and died. We can use their presence to learn from their mistakes and find out in advance about the dangers awaiting us.
The graphic design of Phantom Abyss is kept in a colourful, clear and pleasant to the eye style.

Game Ratings for Phantom Abyss Video Game.
Hardcore Gamer: 3.5 / 5 by James Cunningham
Phantom Abyss is a trek into a lost and trap-filled temple that constantly has you on your toes. Each room is filled with several ways to die, or at least take a good amount of damage, and the constant pressure from the guardian means you have to think while moving. While there's something to be said for tearing through the level at top speed, the rooms are frequently interesting enough that it would be nice to stop and look around for a minute without being pushed forward. The secrets are highly satisfying to find, and when a guardian is dropping poison bombs or just relentlessly advancing that can feel like it's working against the necessary concentration or experimentation needed to reach them. A lot of the time it can feel easier to just dash on through, ignoring the intricate room design to reach the door to the next one, and the next and the next until finally reaching the exit. Every once in a while, though, Phantom Abyss manages to balance the speed and exploration, and that's when it's at its best.
WayTooManyGames: 6.5 / 10 by Kyle Nicol
Phantom Abyss is an interesting temple runner game that provides fast paced platformer gameplay and an ever escalating level of traps as you move from biome to biome. Despite having interesting ideas that should have spoken to me and my tastes, I didn’t find myself hooked into the game as much as I thought I would. Nothing about it, from its online systems to some of its later levels, did enough to make it worthwhile.
Try Hard Guides: 8 / 10 by Erik Hodges
