Neon Abyss - Fantastically Deep & Awesome Roguelike

[@Idyll_Liaison]

The "You hear a strange sound coming from afar" message means that you can teleport to a free room. You just use the teleport stone and it had a yellow arrow pointing where to go. You missed it in the first level. Usually the loot is pretty good.

[@zenon20009]

Every single time i want to try another game i go straight to you. You are my go to youtuber for new games and general indie games

[@danielbutzer9460]

Dude, I just have to let you know that you're doing a great job. Thanks you!

[@onerimeuse]

I love this game, but it solidified for me the trope I can't stand about this genre, and that's the stack of levels that's the same every time. Dead cells had branching paths, and that mixed it up a little, but these games need to get away from literally the same path every single time. Everything else is random, so "a good run" is bullshit, in my humble opinion. But clearly the buying power disagrees. I just don't like repetitive shit. On the other hand, this Roguelike kept me sane during lock down. This was a fantastic game. Is a fantastic game. And the stacking, that I believe is so critical to roguelikes, is so solid. Guns multiplying, fantastic effects, fantastic synergy. It's dope as fuck.

[@Haha_Haha_Ha]

I know, that's my criticism of this genre as well. More effort in design in general, especially the levels

[@Lewdisu]

Yeah they need to have a few alternate versions of stages

[@ntma]

This is probably the first game of this type that actually looks worth playing for me. Good find

[@godoftwinkies574]

I prefer Enter the Gungeon, less platforming.

[@Mark-ll5lm]

Try critadel, its just like this one

[@d.w.6584]

I'm not big on side scroller games, but I downloaded the demo based in this video, and actually enjoyed the demo enough that I'm seriously considering adding to my collection. Thanks for highlighting.

[@anothervagabond]

Make sure to read the description of your weapons: you missed that the Sentinel's bullets are homing.

[@madkow77]

I just want to thank you for this video. I would never of found this game and enjoyed so much with out it. Cheers!

[@SirDiamondNips]

Splat has the best comment section lately. I'm here for it!

[@bflaw85]

Love this type of review/gameplay setup, already played the game a bunch and knows whats going on, instantly says "what you need to know here is (blank) the game plays like (blank) now watch me play" Right into it and not confusing at all or trying to be anything other than a game review.

[@dominick16542]

Dunno if you will read this, as this video is now 1 year old, but you just made me buy the game and i fell in love with it

[@alexsamaniego9061]

you convinced me. I am picking it up. the last time I saw someone else play this, it was bad. glad to see it has changed. game actually looks interesting now. Thanks a lot for showing it.

[@idontwantahandlethough]

Dude, me too! I'm SO surprised at how much better this looks now! I was really confused for a minute; I had to actually look it up and make sure that this did indeed use to suck, I thought maybe I was thinking of a different roguelite cause it's so night and day from how it was.

[@Gigusx]

ONE DOLLAR! Look upon me and despair, for my wealth is innumerable :D The best kind of Splat!

[@EverClear0]

I noticed how @spattercamgaming mentioned Northerlion. Pretty cool. I work from home often. Usually when I don't want to get angry from watching politics, I watch Splattercat, Northerlion, Raptor, and Retromation. Usually between those four, there is no shortage of content.

[@nbkredspy3726]

This is a beautiful and fun "Where the !@#$ is my character" game. If the eggs don't get you to lose track of the character, the gun effects will.

[@frostedframerate1055]

Been on the fence with this one. Now, I am sold. Thanks!

[@sakuxsaku]

"whatever what do i look like a guy that makes smart decisions?" my god i laugh so hard at that one. This game is awesome got my infinite runs a couple months ago.

[@SilverionX]

That charging sound at 25:55 you love to hear it.

[@Slanghappy]

now I have to buy just to see the double beam, damn it!

[@alheria7451]

I am not a fan of this type of games but my first time playing Neon Abyss out of curiosity ... shit you not, I couldn't stop.

[@Sh4d0w20]

i loved this game - when i saw you playing it again.. i immediately jumped into the office on the big screen to watch it. its one of my favorite games ever. unfortunately i cant play it myself

[@MaximeRoman]

Why?

[@Sh4d0w20]

@@MaximeRoman i actually dont have a good enough pc atm :D im trying hard to survive the pandemic when all my events were chanceled ;)

[@DamsdelDrennon]

This game has such a solid presence, the art style and game mechanics create an experience of its own.

[@sIDsleeper]

"King Northernlion energy", oh yeah, babyyy!

[@elmadicine]

"Daniel, God of Gambling" lmaooo they put an RTGame reference

[@jarlgreen1630]

29:27-29:40 Good points Splattercat. Could you drop Scott at Warframe a line and give him some tips about letting players push the game to it's limits :-)

[@burningshine5524]

The first laser gun you had dealt melee damage and your chicken mask increased your melee damage forbevery egg

[@tristanwegner]

For those collecting games on the epic store, Neon Abyss was among the weekly free give aways last year

[@tylerddh]

I would have liked to see you finish the play through. Not a bad idea to have a set time for your videos as a review but if you had another video that was longer I'd watch it!

[@ericwolbring2800]

I really liked the showcase but tbh I didn't understand, why you stopped midway through, especially after getting the double lasers. Wouldn't have hurt to upload the whole run for this particular game

[@ExpeladeitoR]

i would never have taken seriously this game if not for this review, thanks a lot

[@AngryKittens]

This looks really good.

[@TheGrandexeno]

Ahh, I saw this played by DangerouslyFunny, it's quite nice

[@niallrussell7184]

this is not my type of game, but your enthusiasm made me watch the whole thing!

[@DeadGnomeGaming]

Love Neon Abyss! Such a fun roguelike

[@aaronbrungardt2917]

My Steam library and wish list are getting filled because of this dude... and that's a good thing.

[@morty_dk]

I already have the game, but never ever tried it 🙈 That's about to change though... cool showcase, Splat 😃👌

[@Skenjin]

Didnt see you mention it, but sometimes when enemies die they drop a worm. Walking on the worm to kill it gives a coin.

[@JOhnDoe-nl4wj]

7:44 god, the 2d art of the level is terrific

[@mrittikmukherjee1347]

Getting some really good Cave Story vibes!

[@ThiisStil]

absolutely going to get this on your recommendation m8, cheers

[@jeremyhall2727]

That laser gun is op. I wonder what other crazy guns this game has

[@IzSaru]

That Buster charging sound...

[@Seluecus1]

Since this video was released, i'm fairly certain they fixed the "Silver Moon Penetrates...." gameplay. lol Now it only partially penetrates at certain angles.

[@alex9x9]

I've seen 4 minutes and I already love this game.

[@SlimeGPT]

I'm quiet late to this party, but screw it. I'm just now (literally today) getting into this game. It's absolutely incredible and very addictive. I've tried getting into Enter The Gungeon and some other games like it, but Neon Abyss is scratching the itch.

[@mumbrle]

It's nice to see a video, where you're not trying to learn the game while completely disregarding the tutorial or missing the obvious mechanics and where you behave semi-competently, for once :D

[@BillySama001]

Lucas ain't got no right lookin that fine.

[@elmadicine]

another game I've bought because of your video. again I forgot to use the link in your description. do you earn any kickbacks or anything whatsoever from your links? if so I'll be more vigilant in the future to use your links

[@ventec4614]

Your first gun was actually a melee weapon, it was gaining some mad damage from your eggs :D

[@erikgamesdaily5584]

If you step on the worms they drop money. Some of the weapons have tracking wich can be great further in. There are some nice creative combos in this game. Get the buttler/tuxedo pet guy and have him die from damage and he will stop taking your coins and will drop a ton in return.

[@TheMrDewil]

Oh, I see that they've changed some things since I last played it. I see some new items. Also you have to choose reward after beating boss, it wasn't the case in the past when everything they dropped was up for grabs. And I take it that there are twice as much bosses now, at least it looks like that in a character selection screen. Well, I guess no harm in diving back into it then.

[@Sc1Z]

when you see the umbrella box right at the start with the fist gun pick up, you open a secret room you have to use the teleport to get to. you can see it on your mini map. also the smaller flyers drop worms when killed, if you step on them they give you coins.

[@bravebrush5057]

Finally you start play this game! )) Big enjoy to observe this game, especially fall asleep too :)

[@hariman7727]

It's the mega Man gun charging noise.

[@CaptainMug]

Played this game like 2 years ago, fun for a while but the game is horribly balanced like you said, enemies become bullet sponges while the player has screen filling weapons that make it very hard to play. I stopped playing the game because after a while it's just a grind to get new upgrades or room even at a point where you've basically already seen everything.

[@UtopssAKAPJ]

Neon Abyss looks like fun

[@rickytempleton4181]

Killer run brother.

[@zaneba7056]

Everything is backwards in the game weapons and items and game rooms you don't like you find yourself eventually using them out of desperation to keep the run going.

[@jirokure]

Remind me of Dungreed. Lovely :3

[@MarkReyesStenus]

I actually have this game and never played it... I'll have to remedy that, thanks.

[@Autistic_Pixel]

This is a very fun rogue, its up there on Undermine and Gungeon's level

[@coldfries8976]

Just about to get this game in the sale!

[@inkeddecker9964]

When you get the dlc it unlocks a branch of all characters. Everyone has 2 skins now that have different abilities.

[@McCool117]

Just a small bit of advice for Neon Abyss owners. Keep your eyes peeled for the dlc releases. They're free for the first few days after release if you already own the game.

[@pbsixgun6]

Guitar sounds like a 'Challenge mode' weapon. heh.

[@DevanirBarbosaOficial]

Pease make the part 2 about this game. :-)

[@someduder5044]

NA is a fun little game, but the only reason I'm not buying it (Sailed the high seas for it) is the completely bizarre way of unlocking bosses/stages - you have to be incredibly lucky to unlock the final set of bosses. The game isn't that difficult, but it requires you to juggle the order/chaos meter so you unlock the secret room at just the right stage in order to fight the correct boss instead of the regular one. Fuck that.

[@Bentheriault1]

is the chiken mask a reference from pollo from Chew??

[@godoftwinkies574]

Or a reference to Hotline Miami.

[@Bentheriault1]

@@godoftwinkies574 oh yeah, probably more like that

[@TheAlwaysPrepared]

That was fun. Thanks!

[@QualeQualeson]

If this genre was for me (meaning I was a couple decades younger) I'd probably buy this game.

[@Galvaxatron]

This is the first game I have purchased thanks to watching your videos that I didn't actually really enjoy. It's just not very challenging and it gets repetitive after a while. "Maybe something cool will happen next room" is what kept me going for way too long. This isn't a criticism of you. I own so many great games thanks to you. Keep doing your thing.

[@leslielegra2313]

Do you plan on covering Total war warhammer 3 on release?

[@neonshadow5005]

I don't remember how I learned about this game but I played the free demo way back when and bought it when it came out, and it is a fun game. It has solid gameplay, great pixel art and the soundtrack is even better now with them replacing the tracks with newer ones (they are less repetitious). The only issue is too many "joke" guns.

[@sharena5642]

This game is awesome, I've only played the demo but it's definitely on my wishlist lol

[@raidermaxx2324]

wishlist? its like $20 .. lol just get it

[@remyfate3005]

Yes, buy it I already its a really complex funny w references game, challenging too if you get far enough or into handicaping yourself, played it since 2020 and its almost final release, watch out for the Epic Games one, it isn patched well.

[@patriziopaccione3757]

So colorful.awesome game.

[@benh6452]

I love this game. New content woopy

[@SprayNpreyT]

good stuff

[@korblborp]

but does everyting have the proper amount of suction?

[@markc8626]

I like Neon Abyss, but I feel it could have done some things better. It's not a lasting title in your mind, it's playable, but it's unremarkable, run of the mill. It could have better shooting, and mobs better, and bosses could have used more skill. Enter the Gungeon slightly pips it.

[@RoboBreaker]

If you like this, you will love Black Future '88

[@maki7688]

should i get this on ps5 or pc? or does it not matter i just noticed it only had a ps4 version

[@radar2670]

Console versions have tons of missing DLC. Sad

Awesome game, had +50hours on it, but i had to drop it due tue too many bugs!! at the 4 consecutive time i got a black screen, on the 5 or 6 map, i uninstalled it, and never looked back... so frustrating, cause i loved the game so mutch!!

Really wanted to watch more of that run. Was getting good lol
