About Phantom Abyss
✦ AI summary
Sprint through procedurally-generated temples dodging traps and guardians in one-shot runs, using the phantom recordings of fallen players to learn the path to legendary relics. Claim temples permanently once you retrieve their most coveted treasure, and share your failures with friends to help them succeed where you couldn't.
Phantom Abyss is a massive asynchronous multiplayer game that casts players into procedurally-generated temples and tasks them with retrieving the sacred relics hidden within deadly chambers. Intrepid adventurers will dodge scores of hidden traps, leap treacherous chasms, and flee relentless guardians through branching paths until one of the relics are claimed or the devices of death overwhelm them. Be warned, you only get one attempt at each temple and failure or settling for a lesser relic means you will never see that temple again...
The cleverest players will use the phantom runs of failed attempts from other players to their advantage and avoid the missteps and mistakes that led to their doom. Once the legendary relic at the bottom of each temple is found, the temple goes away forever and becomes the priceless trophy of the skilled adventurer.
Explore the perilous halls and colossal rooms of each temple alongside the phantoms of fallen players that came before you and use their successes and failures to your advantage to progress deeper than they ever could have hoped. Watch and learn from the mistakes of up to 20 phantoms including your Steam friends that have attempted the same temple and steal their whips as they fall.
Recover keys from chests to unlock deeper, deadlier sections of the temple that house more coveted relics. The more difficult a relic is to obtain, the greater the reward - the final Legendary Relic of a temple allows you to claim the whole temple so that it's gone forever.
As adventurers venture further into a temple, offerings of collected treasures can be made at altars to gain a new blessing for the rest of the run. Collect as much treasure as you can to please the gods and gain a double jump, glide jump, extended slide, damage protection, and more!
Unlock new whips with success and choose from your collection before venturing into your next run. Each whips carries a minor blessing but also a curse that may complicate your attempt at riches and glory.
Players can share Temple Codes for their failed runs allowing friends to attempt the same temple or share their Adventure Code which yields a playlist of temples that a player has attempted in the past.

Really nice, smooth movement with fun abilities. And a really frantic pace!1 found this helpful
Going purely based on the game that is released right now would I recommend someone to get the game now probably not going based on that the game will a) not get any updates b) changing the game into a pseudo story mode with players unlocking content by adventure mode c) the fact that you can now buy upgrades before a run is began and temporary powers. Apart from them features the game itself is competently made the base movement and grapple hook is interesting and unique to use (imo still dont know why they added the dash straight up allows you to skip a majority of the traps in rooms) since it gives the player a good few ways of dealing with the area also the idea of unique whips giving a positive and a negative was honestly super cool in the original version idk if they are still there since I last played. The phantom feature when you are in a large lobby is honestly super cool since you get to see what others were doing inside the same room and can use them to your advantage if you wanted such as seeing where they go and stuff The rooms themselves are on average competently made for a good majority of them you are able to just tell a path the you would want to take in a sho…
A really nice game, very fluid movement, good maps and a nice gameplay cycle as a whole. The only thing i dont understand is that if the game requires me to have an internet connection, then why dont you give me a decent multiplayer experience? Why do I have to play with the bots? That isnt as engaging as playing with real people.
