What is Path of the Abyss?
This single-player RPG sends an adventuring party through a large grid-based dungeon and smaller dungeons, drawn in black and white, after reports of monsters in a ruin near East Weltden. You customize characters, arrange their skills on a shared formation panel, and pause real-time fights to respond to enemy attacks as you descend.
For you if...
- +you enjoy exploring grid-based dungeons for loot and secrets
- +you like experimenting with party builds and skill combinations
- +you prefer combat that rewards pausing and planning
Not for you if...
- −you want free movement rather than grid-based exploration
- −you prefer simple combat without party setup
- −you want postgame progression without repeated grinding
What players say

Players praise the flexible party builds, tactical combat, art, and music. The most common complaint is a grind-heavy postgame; some players also find the dungeon environments plain or the late-game interface cumbersome.
