Fascination Sobre Phantom Abyss Speedrun
In Phantom Abyss, you compete with other players around the world to steal an idol from a temple filled with tough jumps, booby traps, and hidden keys.
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…
, you’ll acquire keys from chests that are used to go deeper into the dangerous temples. There you’ll find better relics, but larger threats. You’ll also find treasures that can be offered up in exchange for blessings.
In terms of consistency, I'd say the void whip is the best. Disabling the guardian is hands down the strongest thing there is and it allows you to take as much time as you need for most rooms.
One of the game’s highlights is how it cleverly bakes a sense of community into its design through the implementation of phantoms – ghosts of other players who came before you and were bested by the temple. Beyond merely providing a glimpse of where others died, these phantoms are both an assistance and a hindrance, as they activate the many proximity-based traps in each temple.
As you play though each level, you’ll be faced with challenging enemies and collect powerful loot. The more you play, the more powerful you will become!
This is all to say that Phantom Abyss falls somewhat short on achieving the goal of offering a challenging parkour adventure in a roguelite package. The whip and phantom gameplay involving other players’ trial and error are unique, but its clunkiness, difficulty, and disparate progression are worth a pause.
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.
But one of Phantom Abyss' coolest features is its asynchronous multiplayer in the classic Abyss Mode. The ghosts of other, failed adventurers pop up in the level as you go, letting you see how other people died gruesomely on the way.
Pelo ability in this game has any kind of detrimental effect on your run, and just because I consider an ability to be lower tier does not mean that I wouldn't ever pick it up -- however, I personally tend to prioritize my blessings based on the following ranks:
Heal but better, as it also increases your health cap by one heart. If you have to choose between this and Heal, always choose the Heart Container.
