Abyss Reviews

It is interesting to see this game get so much hate. It is in EARLY ACCESS, which is something that most people these days do not seem to understand. Sure, there are some "early access" games that come out that are nearing their completion (this may even be the trend these days), but those games also typically have huge teams and not much more to look forward to. It is by no means an exaggeration to say that the developers of Abyss Online are more passionate and committed than any other game devs. People just need to give them time to cook. Back in the day, gamers were patient and this was never even an issue. The game is currently in a playable state, and can be fun if you are not a moron or a six year old. Give it a shot. Join the discord and interact with the dev team. Be a little patient to see the growth happen. Don't fade it until it becomes mainstream, as you will most likely regret it in when early access players are given the most exclusive vanity in the game. Keep up the good work team.

I've watched the development for this game over the past 2 or so years, competed in playtests, watched animators in discord, hell even watched the devs code so I know that this game is a work in progress. It's obvious that this game has a lot of progress to go, but people haven't seen the progress they've made. The devs are very transparent with the process, and since more tests have started, incorporated a bunch of community feedback already. People are way too harsh in these reviews. I understand where they are coming from, but I would much rather a game develop over time perfectly, than be rushed and forgotten about after a few months.

THis game is a scam. Do not buy. they havent updated anything since may. this is a money grab by a studio that has a history of money grabs while leaving their paying customers high and dry.

Pretty solid. I've watched this game developing since the very beginning as one of the early backers/supporters, turning from something that resembled a top-down 2.5d mmorpg with low poly to something that's can rival the graphics of most game, albeit with some clunky movement. Devs have been pushing patches, listening to user feedback (in their style) and pushing patches like demons on speed. Honestly, the responsiveness is 5 stars for me, gameplay might be lacking right now and quests would probably make it easier to play, but for something built by an indie studio? This is 100% something I can get behind. I don't want another cookie cutter MMORPG made by a giant studio with 100s of millions, I wanna see how this turns out. I might be biased since i've seen them build it literally from scratch, and have met the team in their studio in bkk but, fingers crossed this is somthing that'll beat the living daylights out of others who raised 50m - 100m, have a 100 man team and still take 2 months to push a simple patch.

It's really ambitious and I hope it develops. But it's already fun to play. Just remember this in Early Access to it has some bugs and lots of things that can be improved.

Okay so i dont recommend this game to anyone, you get thrown into the game with no instructions at ALL. You start with a sword,and tools in your inventory but it doesnt tell you how to equip or how to use them I fought a mob it doesnt even show the mob HP bar,got killed and while the fight was going on my HP bar never went down yet i got killed no idea what happened. Dont waste your money on this.

I spent a few hours gathering ore and hitting trees, I crafted some weapons and armor and i built a small house out in the wilderness near the orcs. One of the devs came and built a building beside me and answered all my questions. The game needs a lot of work but I can see the vision and I support it!

I'll be honest this is the WORST game I have ever tried. the moves dont even go the path you are hitting. hit boxes seem to not really be a thing, trying to build, make, buy, sell, or even combat all feels bad. clunky at best and not even a one person can call this a working game. I wouldn't even say wait and let them cook. it really seems like someones high school project not something that should have a price tag on it.

LOL. First off the music being medieval versions of modern songs is hilarious. Hurt Johnny Cash version on the flute goes hard. Same with gangsters paradise. But the game is not real lol. So do not buy it.

This is not an MMO. This isn't even a "game" at time of writing. The EA blurb states: [i]"Abyss Online has been in development and testing for nearly 2.5 years."[/i] I'd love to know what development, if any, actually occurred during this time period, because this feels like someone's game jam project that was put together in a weekend with some free assets, not something aspiring to be an MMO. I'm not a good enough writer to summarize just how under-developed and not worth your money this game is. You are dropped into the world with no guidance, no tutorials, a painful UI/UX, a non-functioning combat system, some random enemies you can't even attack (but can attack you), and some farmer selling you farming supplies. I understand it's Early Access, and I've bought many an EA game throughout the years, but this "game" should not be asking for people's money until there's an actual game-loop and something tangible to play test. I've already requested a refund.
