What Gamespot Users have to say about From the Abyss

• Rating:7.5

  A typical hack and slash, but a fun play.

  By gingefails | Review Date: Jan 21, 2009 | DS

  The story is a little generic, and the gameplay isn't anything awesome, but I played this game right through to the end anyway. You're an adventurer hired by the queen, sent in to the dark and evil abyss that is causi... Read Full Review

  From the Abyss plays an excellent adventure game with many different playing styles and character styles.

  By CorprusTapeworm | Review Date: Jan 20, 2009 | DS

  I think this game is great because that it seemed like a letdown at the beginning. When you buy a DS game it's 50/50 whether you'll like it or not. I took the leap and bought this game. You start out in a kingdom distres... Read Full Review

  A dungeon crawler that fails to be compelling -- with no story, weak combat, & repetitive scenery and monsters.

  By Swoosie | Review Date: Dec 02, 2008 | DS

  Dungeon Crawlers ('Roguealikes') have come back into fashion with a few surprise hits like Atlus' Etrian Odyssey. Because of this success, we've seen quite a few released in the last year. Add to that list Aksys Games' "... Read Full Review

  It has all the appearances of an RPG, but when you look closer, you see it is all cardboard cutouts without any depth.

  By poohbear12 | Review Date: Sep 19, 2008 | DS

  The Good: Low-stress dungeon crawl hack-n-slash. The Bad: No story, really. No depth of character customization. Few weapon/armor choices. Over in a few hours. Way too easy. ------------------------------------... Read Full Review

  Good start, end terribly.

  By razqoonz | Review Date: Sep 18, 2008 | DS

  The gameplay is bad; the game tries to take the goods from MMORPG system like status system, weapons, character selection, skills system and personality questionnaire. But not all of them are working. Stats sounds good t... Read Full Review

  Repetitive and lacking a "real" multiplayer system.

  By XBGOOFBALL | Review Date: Sep 11, 2008 | DS

  "From the Abyss" had great potential to be something more. It failed completely. On the solo play side of things the adventure is great for the first few levels. After that this game becomes repetitive motion and f... Read Full Review

  The sheer grinding dungeon crawler style of this game, and a broken save system, turns any RPG fan off from trying this.

  By d_generation69 | Review Date: Aug 29, 2008 | DS

  The Good: Lots of places to explore | Different world each game | Good replay value ----------------------------------------- The Bad 'Meh' graphics | Boring sound | Grinding gameplay | Shallow story | Broken... Read Full Review
