In Phantom Abyss, the search for relics in mysterious ruins offers a captivating experience, but not without challenges. The intriguing gameplay and asynchronous multiplayer add interesting layers to the narrative, even if it is quite simple and not very standout, while progression through the Abyss and Adventure modes provides a welcome variety that can please different player profiles. However, some limitations, such as layout reproduction, steep difficulty curve, and unobtrusive soundtrack, may impact player complexity. Quirky iconography, while it contributes to a unique atmosphere, can require an additional learning curve. A contained but still interesting adventure.
