This is no mere Earth saltwater but a rare substance found in the deepest parts of the sea, sought out by &#8220;daring brinepunk explorers.&#8221; The discovery of a sunken kingdom with a huge brine deposit is the game&#8217;s jumping off point, but then everything goes a bit hairy when the corrupted inhabitants rise up against you.<\/p>\n<p>This is a co-operative shooter where synergising your loadouts leads to massive rewards: such as survival. The vibe here is very much Kill Me Plenty, with the game built around a &#8220;merciless roguelite gauntlet, where no run is the same as the last.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Abyssus features eight main weapons and 45 mods, as well as character skills and suits. Over runs you build up your upgrades and options, but even when you&#8217;re totin&#8217; the finest brine-arm around (sorry) this still won&#8217;t be an easy ride.<\/p>\n<p>One thing that should be clear from the trailer: gunfeel is everything here, and Abyssus clearly wants the comparison to the big boys. Up to four players can tackle its 64 hand-crafted levels, which are procedurally sequenced to make each run through feel a lot different. Across those you&#8217;ll find 36 different enemy types and four giganto-bosses, and that&#8217;s just at launch.<\/p>\n<p>At one point on <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/app\/1721110\/Abyssus\/\" target=\"_blank\">the Steam page for Abyssus<\/a>, the devs pose a few questions.
