About

Phantom Abyss is a massive asynchronous multiplayer game that casts players into procedurally-generated temples and tasks them with retrieving the sacred relics hidden within deadly chambers. Intrepid adventurers will dodge scores of hidden traps, leap treacherous chasms, and flee relentless guardians through branching paths until one of the relics are claimed or the devices of death overwhelm them. Be warned, you only get one attempt at each temple and failure or settling for a lesser relic means you will never see that temple again...

The cleverest players will use the phantom runs of failed attempts from other players to their advantage and avoid the missteps and mistakes that led to their doom. Once the legendary relic at the bottom of each temple is found, the temple goes away forever and becomes the priceless trophy of the skilled adventurer.
Asynchronous Multiplayer
Explore the perilous halls and colossal rooms of each temple alongside the phantoms of fallen players that came before you and use their successes and failures to your advantage to progress deeper than they ever could have hoped. Watch and learn from the mistakes of up to 20 phantoms including your Steam friends that have attempted the same temple and steal their whips as they fall.
Unlock More Treacherous Floors
Recover keys from chests to unlock deeper, deadlier sections of the temple that house more coveted relics. The more difficult a relic is to obtain, the greater the reward - the final Legendary Relic of a temple allows you to claim the whole temple so that it's gone forever.
Blessings from the Gods
As adventurers venture further into a temple, offerings of collected treasures can be made at alters to gain a new blessing for the rest of the run. Collect as much treasure as you can to please the gods and gain a double jump, glide jump, extended slide, damage protection, and more!
Unlockable Whips
Unlock new whips with success and choose from your collection before venturing into your next run. Each whips carries a minor blessing but also a curse that may complicate your attempt at riches and glory.
Social Connections
Players can share Temple Codes for their failed runs allowing friends to attempt the same temple or share their Adventure Code which yields a playlist of temples that player has attempted in the past.

Phantom Abyss reviews and comments

The assymetric multiplayer mechanic was appealing but at least in Jan 2024, on Xbox, never saw any other players' phantoms. Apart from that, nice 3D platformer. Nothing special though.
Fun few few dungeons. Very much Indiana Jones vibes. I kind of doubt I play this one for too long. I think it’s going to get repetitive pretty soon plus it’s only in early access but I like the idea. It’s been fun to start.

As expected, I didn’t play this for too long as it got repetitive pretty quick and the different whips didn’t seem to make that big an impact. I picked the one that gave 3 bonus hearts, which seemed huge, and the con was the boss is better but I got hurt a lot more from traps and falls than the boss so it was an easy decision. Fun early access game for a couple days.

Final Score: B
If there was ever a game that makes you feel like Indiana Jones, this is it. The async gameplay is a nice new technique and improves the gameplay. However, I found it very repetitive after a while.
