But you won’t be dying alone. You’ll be able to see the specters of other players who have trod the same paths as you, giving you some insight into how you’ll be surviving the perilous predicament in which you’ve found yourself. But do take care, for when you meet your demise, that temple will be lost to you forever.

Without the gimmick, game gets repetitive and boring really quick, it feels like you're incentivized not to play now but later instead to see other phantoms in the same temples as you are.

Phantom Abyss is an asynchronous multiplayer title, which in practice means that while the game is technically multiplayer and lots of players are competing for the same relic in the same temple, non-e of the players seen in the level are live.

Daily mode: The same temple is available to all players for 24 hours. Unlike other modes, players can retry this temple as many times as they like.

Take another look at Phantom Abyss in this latest trailer for the co-op multiplayer platformer game. Version 1.

HOLY how have I not gotten a full run yet T_T In Phantom Abyss, you compete with other players around the world to steal an idol from a temple filled with tough jumps, booby traps, and hidden keys. Using a whip for traversal, freerun your way through the danger to be the first (and only) player to reach the goal. Phantom Abyss is available on PC in Steam Early Access June 22nd. 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.

1.0 update sorta killed the vibe for me lots of changes that are worse than Phantom Abyss Game in previous versions. I would recommend this if it just rolled back a few updates.

So, it’s a platforming rogue-lite. I’m good with that. Collecting these treasures will extend your own abilities, such as granting a double jump or lengthening the duration of your slide. You also have a whip, which can be used to swing yourself around.

Torn-apart landscape The Rift is an area slowly being torn apart by the abyss. It features large areas filled with floating debris, whirlpools, and corruption spreading through the walls.

comes in as a unique multiplayer puzzle game where you have to utilize the ghosts of players who've perished to guide your way through treacherous rooms. The catch is that you only have one chance to take on any level, so it's best to be cautious.

Phantom Abyss offers an original experience, tinged with platform and roguelite, in a colorful "Indiana Jonesque" atmosphere but a flemmarde hair. The result is rather convincing at the moment and the asynchronous multiplayer adds a real little added value.

If you are using lightning or ice whip, you can probably stay ahead a good bit longer, but it is still a very fast guardian.

Only consider taking this ability if you run the Vine Whip or Ice Whip. The boosted jump of this blessing can stack with the boosted jump of the Vine Whip -- in which case, I would probably move it up a tier.

’ asynchronous multiplayer encourages you to cooperate with others and make discoveries. Dying in a temple results in temporarily losing your equipped whip and any treasure accumulated during the run, but they can be salvaged. Failure is not an endpoint, as you receive a code other players can activate to attempt ‘rescuing’ your phantom by claiming the temple’s relic.
