Atlus Announces Abyss Odyssey
Irvine, Calif. - March 5, in the year of our Lord 2014
- Abyss Odyssey is a downward journey into the depths of the
unknown. Developed by ACE Team (Rock of Ages), Abyss Odyssey is
dripping with Art Nouveau style. In the game, three warriors are
available to challenge the abyss: the bold Katrien, the tortured
specter Ghost Monk, and the ethereal Pincoya. But no matter how
powerful these warriors get, their descent is a circular trip -
the action adventure of Abyss Odyssey is infinitely replayable.
The side-scrolling levels never play out the same way twice - be
it the monsters they are filled with, the locations of
life-saving merchants, or the pathways between levels. There are
only two constants in Abyss Odyssey: a great evil awaits at the
bottom of the pit, and succeed or die, the warriors will have to
battle the abyss for eternity. But the enemies in the abyss are
no mere fodder - each one has a complex set of moves. They also
have a weakness: almost every enemy can be possessed and
controlled by the player.
Players who brave the dangers in Abyss Odyssey will encounter:
The Infinite Abyss - Procedurally generated levels will allow
the three warriors to battle for eternity.
Technically Deep - Since combat is the core of the game, ACE
Team specifically focused on implementing fighting game
mechanics into the action. Dodge-cancels and other technically
demanding techniques will unlock the warriors' true powers in
combat.
Know Thy Enemy - Possess almost any enemy in the game to use its
skills and combat abilities...each foe is as technically complex
as the main warriors.
Developed by ACE Team and published by ATLUS, Abyss Odyssey will
be available in summer 2014 as a downloadable arcade title for
Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC. More details on Abyss Odyssey
are to come as long as it is family friendly!
