Released last year on PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC, Abyss Odyssey is coming to the new generation in the form of Abyss Odyssey: Extended Dream Edition on PlayStation 4. Out “soon” in North America and Europe, it will cost $14.99.
Developed by ACE Team, Extended Dream Edition upgrades the graphics to 1080p on PS4, adds all the recent updates to the PC version of Abyss Odyssey (including combat balances, online 2-player and local 4-player versus mode, and Zeno Clash’s Golem as a mini-boss), and adds some new console-exclusive mini-bosses whose souls can be captured and used in battle.
A 2D action platformer with a fighting game combat system, here’s what to expect from Abyss Odyssey: Extended Dream Edition:
In Abyss Odyssey: Extended Dream Edition, the side-scrolling levels never play out the same way twice – be it the monsters they are filled with, the locations of life-saving merchants, or the pathways between levels. There are only two constants in Abyss Odyssey: a great evil awaits at the bottom of the pit, and succeed or die, the nightmare will continue. But the enemies in the abyss are no mere fodder – each one has a complex set of moves. They also have a weakness: almost every enemy can be possessed and controlled by the player….
Players who brave the dangers in Abyss Odyssey: Extended Dream Edition will encounter:
- Technically Deep – Since combat is the core of the game, ACE Team specifically focused on implementing fighting game mechanics into the action. Dodge-cancels and other demanding techniques will unlock the warriors’ true powers in combat.
- A New Nightmare – Abyss Odyssey veterans can double-down on the challenge with the Nightmare difficulty level, where enemies move quicker, hit harder, and well…if you aren’t confident in your combos, you should get used to seeing the void room.
- New Enemies – A familiar face returns – Golem from Zeno Clash makes an appearance as a new mini-boss! Also brand new to consoles are the Tirana mini-boss, the White Phantom, and the Warlock Titan – a unique final boss who you might encounter fighting alongside one the original Warlock’s many forms.
- The Infinite Abyss – Procedurally generated levels will keep the three warriors battling for eternity.
- Meta Odyssey – At the bottom of the abyss is the Warlock. Once the community collectively beats a boss a certain number of times, the boss changes. The Extended Dream Edition has all the recent PC updates to the Warlock, but a whole new community to try and unlock each mask!
- Know Thy Enemy – Possess almost any enemy in the game to use its skills and combat abilities…each foe is as technically complex as the main warriors.
- ACE Developed – From the independent team behind some of the most boldly creative, aesthetic titles: the Zeno Clash Series and Rock of Ages.
