Warriors: Abyss Reviews
Warriors Abyss may be an asset reuse from the history of their respective franchises, but it takes those assets and builds a rather enjoyable roguelite around them. Yes, it is pretty repetitive as it doesn’t have the non-combat moments that made Hades so memorable, and the story itself is very basic, but the gameplay is what helps this title shine. With its low cost of entry and a massive cast of 100 characters, there is a lot to dive into, and is one hell of a time.
Warriors: Abyss was a pleasant surprise, particularly for its price point. There are perhaps some tweaks that could be made to the formula, but it nicely implements the roguelite gameplay with hack 'n' slash, creating a fun experience, if a touch repetitive as is common with Warriors games. It's one I enjoyed and a nice one to dip into for 30 minutes here and there. The only danger is it creates that 'one more turn' feeling, and 30 minutes soon turns into 3 hours.
Warriors Abyss unfortunately can't keep up with the recently released Origins. It takes elements from everything in Warriors and packs it into an average roguelike hack-and-slash that can be a lot of fun at times, but also offers very little of interest. For the low price, however, the rewarding progression through hell is definitely worth it.

Dive into Warriors: Abyss and you'll be met with a huge playable roster, frenetic action and a wealth of replayability value. The sights may not be as pleasant and the story is non-existent, but shifting the Warriors franchises into a rogue-like works surprisingly well.
Warriors: Abyss is Omega Force's attempt at breaking into the rougelite genre. There is some fun to be had, but ultimately, the game lacks potential in a lot of cases. With poor boss battles and limited gameplay features, you're better off spending your time elsewhere unless you are a die-hard fan of Warriors.
