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
