The team at Studio Pixel Punk, known for the visually stunning and distinctive Unsighted, has unveiled their upcoming title, Abyss X Zero. This sleek 3D Metroidvania dazzles with flashy visual effects while embracing a retro aesthetic thanks to its beautiful low-polygon models.
Although still in its early stages of development, the initial trailer showcases a breathtaking world brought to life with intricate yet simplistic graphics along with precision combat that promises to provide fast-paced action.
Shifting from the previous game’s 2D approach to a 3D perspective, Abyss X Zero introduces players to a vast world to explore with two distinct characters: Codename A and Codename Z. Each character possesses unique combat abilities that influence the flow of battle and their interactions with the environment.
The twist lies in the fate of these characters, as they are destined to engage in repeated battles against each other, making for a compelling showdown between familiar foes.
As Studio Pixel Punk comprises of only two developers, there’s limited information available about the game at present, particularly regarding its purported Metroidvania genre.
However, glimpses of gameplay have been shared, showcasing phenomenal visuals reminiscent of the early 3D graphics era of the PlayStation 1, evoking memories of titles like Mega Man Legends for example.
As large studios and AAA developers prioritize DEI initiatives and push propaganda, resulting in forgettable, mediocre releases like Ubisoft’s Skull and Bones and Rocksteady’s Suicide Squad, indie games stand as the final bastion of passionate developers. Pixel Punk embodies the desire to return to a time when games were truly creative and enjoyable.
Tiani Pixel, one of the two developers at Studio Pixel Punk, has called upon anyone interested in supporting Abyss X Zero at this early stage to visit its Steam page and add it to their Wishlist.
The number of Wishlists a game accumulates can significantly influence discussions with investors or publishers, making a crucial difference, particularly for indie developers, I myself have already gone and did exactly that for all of my Steam accounts as the PlayStation 1 throwbacks certainly has me intrigued.
It’s imperative that consumers simply boycott heinous corporations that use and abuse its consumer base with woke infest live-service slop, such as those made in collaboration with Sweet Baby Inc for instance while elevating innovative and earnest game projects made by far smaller studios and indie developers.
