About Abyss Manager

Abyss Manager is a dungeon management simulation game. You will play as a new manager of a small dungeon. Make it a formidable abyss.

You'll start with almost nothing, recruit minions, accumulate money, construct facilities, develop technology, explore the realm, have the dungeon's name up, defeat other dungeons and win the championship of the Dungeon League.

There're more than 350 traits, over 300 skills and 60 races. Making randomly generated characters unique, you need to arrange your minions properly to deal with invaders that are also unique. Manage the rotation and training, deploy personnel to expedition and operate facilities, and participate in league matches held between dungeons.

You don't need to control every detail of the battles. Minions will fight independently according to their personalities and tactics. You can also manage the battle directly, which cost your actions so better make your precious decision count.
Minions won't die in battles, but if you can't pay them, they will leave you one by one. Choose between cheap mobs or expensive elites, it's up to your insight.

✦ AI summary

Players appreciate this game as a decently priced management sim with an interesting coach-in-a-fantasy-setting premise, but highlight that it suffers from poor UI design and inadequate tutorials that leave core mechanics unexplained. The main criticism is that the game becomes repetitive and tedious micromanagement over time, especially once you accumulate too many heroes to meaningfully engage with, making it difficult to develop attachment to characters despite some players finding enough value to not regret the purchase.

I have bought a lot worse than this, much is not explained well, some is not explained at all. I pretty much ignored exploration and the monthly battles. I played around 3 yrs in game or so I think. My main problem is you have too many hero's. It's hard to get to like/know them well when you have to keep so many. It's cheap enough and fun enough that I certainly don't regret the purchase.

Another FM-like game. Amazing to be the coach in abyss. "Bad instruction"? No. There's no instruction. I wish the developers could add it in the next update. BTW, although this game doesn't have a macOS/Linux version, it behaves well with Steam Play

Game playable. But you need some time to adjust to the bad UI. When you start a game, you see the channel that you need to defend in the top left, you can put your monster their. In the top right side, it is the building space. You use the material to build up your building space. In the bottom panel, you get your weekly report ,view your monster detail , do explorations and research and etc. At start , you can build up a new dormitory and recruit 5 new monster by resumes. Then you review your monster detail, name the monster by the ability. Then you assign some of your monster to the building. Put your monster to the deploy channel when there are invaders. The you gain the prestige when you defeat the invades(and exploration). You make money to raise your monsters. You collect material to improve the buildings. The game is a slow game, the interesting part of the game is to find the good monster with rare and good trait. You can get monster by 3 way, the resumes, recruit by headhunter(every 7 days), defeat the invaders(by chance).

It's OK, but the game quickly devolves into tedious micromanagement. Swap in, swap out, optimize for intelligence and dex, rinse and repeat.
