What it has in common with Destiny: strong FPS gunplay, build variety, agile movement
Why is this an alternative to Destiny? Part of the fun of Destiny involves traversing mysterious enemy territories and dungeons, crushing hordes of enemies with overpowering abilities, and in action-packed boss fights, proving your skills – or discovering that your build isn’t as effective as you thought, leading you to go back to the metaphorical workshop.
Abyssus can provide exactly this gameplay experience, not as a loot shooter, but as a roguelite1. You fight your way through mysterious underwater caves and are regularly rewarded at altars with new powers. This allows you to gradually build a character that focuses on ice or fire attacks and, ideally, melts powerful boss enemies.
What you need to know about the game: As a roguelite, Abyssus completely forgoes traditional loot. While you unlock new powers during runs, you will not be rewarded with exotic weapons or new equipment pieces.
Instead of sparkling ground loot, there is a meta-progression that takes place outside of runs, through which you unlock new weapons, abilities, or mods to modify your build. This allows Abyssus to offer a considerable variety of builds, although it lacks the dopamine kick of a long-awaited drop.
