Release Date: February 13, 2025
An arena survival game with an isometric view, enriched with musou-like slasher elements. Warriors: Abyss was developed by Omega Force and Koei Tecmo studios and serves as a spin-off of the Warriors series. We fight hordes of enemies, controlling a team of characters with the option to switch between them at any moment.
Warriors: Abyss is a production on the border of the arena survival genre (action games with elements of roguelikes and bullet hell shooters) and musou-type slashers (in which players take on the roles of characters fighting dozens of enemies at once). It was developed by Omega Force studio, and its release was handled by Koei Tecmo company.
In Warriors: Abyss we watch the action in an isometric view. We undertake hellish trials, during which we fight hordes of enemies and eliminate powerful bosses waiting at the end of each stage.
The game provides us with over a hundred playable heroes and heroines. Among them, we will find fantastic versions of historical figures like Nobunaga Oda. They were differentiated in terms of combat skills, preferred weapons, and fighting style.
We gain access to subsequent heroes as we progress, and we can take a maximum of six characters for a given journey. The game allows us to switch between them at any moment and juggle their attacks and merge them into impressive (and effective) combinations.
As we progress, we develop our heroes, which over time increases their combat potential. Moreover, battle formations play an important role here, providing us with various bonuses on the battlefield. If we fail, we have to start a new game. Thankfully along the way we unlock permanent enhancements, which stay with us forever.

Game Ratings for Warriors: Abyss Video Game.
Use a Potion: 7.5 / 10
Warriors: Abyss offers an exciting shake-up of the musou formula with its fast-paced action and satisfying roguelike progression system. Don’t get me wrong, it doesn’t have the variety of some other prolific roguelike titles and the chaotic nature of combat can sometimes lead to frustration, but that thrill of cutting through hundreds of enemies in seconds whilst strategically building formations and character bonds always feels great. There’s a lot of potential for variety through the sheer number of characters on offer, and whilst the gameplay loop can get a little repetitive, it never stops being fun.
Nintendo Life: 6 / 10 by Mitch Vogel
Warriors: Abyss is a decent low-budget spinoff in the long-running hack 'n' slash series, but isn't particularly inspiring. There's tons of replayability, loads of unlockables, and a thrilling combat system that help to keep this one interesting for a while, but its paper-thin plot, repetitive gameplay, and poor visuals very much hold it back from being anything exceptional. We'd give this one a modest recommendation to fans of either roguelites, Musou games, or both, but with the caveat that you may want to wait to pick this one up on a deep sale sometime later on.
But Why Tho?: 5.5 / 10 by Eric Van Allen
Warriors Abyss has its heart in the right place and some interesting ideas, but its particular blend of musou and roguelike doesn’t feel like it’s fully realized. A novel blueprint for something down the line, but as-is, it’s hard to justify for anyone but the biggest fans of the Warriors series.
