What is Abyssus?
Abyssus is a brinepunk co-op roguelite first-person shooter by DoubleMoose Games (published by The Arcade Crew). You descend through randomised rooms to the deepest Depths, mastering weapons, Aspects, Blessings and Charms run after run.
Is Abyssus co-op?
Yes. Abyssus supports 1–4 players. It can be played solo, but it is designed around co-op — enemy counts scale with player count, so AoE weapons like the Tesla Gun and Plasma Launcher shine in a full squad.
How many weapons are in Abyssus?
There are 9 weapons: Engine Rifle, Shotgun, Tesla Gun, Brine Revolver, Disc Thrower, Combat Bow, Plasma Launcher, Fish Deity and Harpoon Gun. Each has three primary and three secondary fire modes plus weapon-specific Ancient Forge upgrades.
What is the best weapon in Abyssus?
For patch 1.3.62817, our S-tier contains the Disc Thrower, Tesla Gun, Plasma Launcher and Brine Revolver. Tesla is the most forgiving room-clear pick; Revolver is the precision boss specialist. This is an editorial ranking with published criteria, not an official tier list.
What are Aspects and Blessings?
The current roster has 11 Aspects, including Brine from Update 1.3. Your primary weapon, secondary weapon and ability establish Aspect slots. The third Blessing from one Aspect reaches its Minor threshold and the sixth its Major threshold.
What platforms is Abyssus on?
Abyssus is available on PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Update 1.3 added cross-platform multiplayer; check the official store and update notes for current service details.
