6 itemsAbout the Game
ABYSSAL BLADE is a 2D pixel-art boss rush featuring difficult raid mechanics from high-level MMO raids like FFXIV Savage, WoW Mythic, and Lost Ark Legion raids.
ONLY ONE LIFE
You awaken in the void, burdened by grief. At last, you find the strength to rise. But the path ahead won’t be easy: you only have 1 HP. Take up your blade and break free from the abyss.
JOURNEY TO DEFEAT GRIEF
Challenge five unique bosses, each embodying one of Kübler-Ross’s stages of grief: Denial, Anger, Bargain, Depression, and Acceptance. Each encounter explores a different emotional struggle, expressed through distinctive mechanics and various gimmicks.
MERCILESS BOSS RAIDS
Boss fights take direct inspiration from high-level MMO raid mechanics, featuring cast bars, telegraphed AOEs, and precisely-timed patterns that force you to think outside of the box and act decisively.
OPTIMIZE YOUR DAMAGE
Generate mana with every strike, unleashing a full gauge to enter a brief burst window of rapid, high-damaging attacks. When openings appear, time your bursts carefully to deal maximum damage!
