Evaluation

Spirits Abyss launched from Early Access on August 27, 2020 after a lengthy development period that included numerous major content updates. The game received two substantial post-launch major content drops: the "Accursed Nightmares" update (August 30, 2021), which added new regions, clans, enemies, items, and game modes, and a significant "Hubby Maintenance" update (September 11, 2023) that modernized the interface and quality-of-life features. The most recent developer communication was on June 24, 2024, when a free soundtrack DLC was added to the Steam store — this was a housekeeping move to restore soundtrack access lost due to a Steam UI change, not a content update. The developer has not announced any future content, expansions, or roadmap. The two major post-launch updates span from 2021 to 2023, with a gap of roughly two years between them and no major content following the second. The most recent activity (the soundtrack DLC in June 2024) is administrative rather than substantive. The sole paid DLC is that soundtrack, which has been released. No unreleased DLC exists on the store. Given the absence of any announced future content, no active update cadence since 2023, and no developer statements about ongoing development, the game appears to have reached the end of its content cycle. The "Accursed Nightmares" update in August 2021 was framed as a celebratory one-year-anniversary content drop and represents the last significant content addition to the game.

About this game

~ In lands long forgotten, stories told of a mountain top that lead to the gates of the Resting Realms. For it was believed a child cast into the abyss under the gaze of the blood full moon may one day return... but that child shall wield the wealth and power over The Undying. ~

Gameplay

Spirits Abyss is a roguelite platformer with destructible terrain (or Spelunky-like). Cast into the Mountainous Abysm you must venture into its randomly generated depths battling phantasmic meanies through diverse spookful biomes, meeting curious compadres, and plundering its many useful items and treasures to hopefully find a way back home beyond the Guardian of the Undying Gate... but does something nestle beyond the realmic veil of death?

Features

  • 8 game modes to master and unlock. Including online seeded runs where you can compete against the Abysm community, a strategic collectable card battling game, a free play mode where you can use the gold you loot to purchase niceities for future runs, a fast paced arena survival mode, and challenging special trials to overcome!
  • Most game modes also have their own online Steam Leaderboards. How high can your score get, or fancy a speedrun? Each Clan has their own leaderboards to dominate!
  • Same-screen 2 player Co-Op. For double the fun and available for all game modes and Remote Play Together compatible!
  • 9 Clans (7 unlockable) to choose from, each with their own weapons, fighting styles, and upgrade paths!
  • Over 100+ items. From passives that provide general boosts and benefits, to equipable gear where you can use new tools, weapons and weird artifacts!
  • 15 different regions (10 unlockable) to adventure through each with their own enemies, hazards, oddities and challenges!
  • A variety of weird and wonderful sub-stages that alongside the different randomised regions and special rooms helps make each Abyss run feel like a unique experience!
  • Unlockable hats and skin/clothes colour customisations!

~ But perhaps the stories are true? Do the fabled gates really exist? Where may they lead? And who may well dwell in such haunted realms beyond? ~
