Abyssborn

Abyssborn strips a survivor roguelike down to its essential tension: your hero fires automatically, so your only job for five to ten minutes straight is deciding where not to stand. Skeletons, fire wizards, bats and worse close in from every side, and the run ends the moment you stop moving long enough for the swarm to catch up.

Every level-up throws a build decision at you rather than a straight stat boost - homing arrows, a wide barrage, piercing shots, knockback, or a critical-hit chance that can spike a whole run. None of these matter alone; what wins is picking ones that reinforce each other rather than grabbing whatever looks strongest in the moment. Bosses arrive to test whatever build you've built, and a mismatched one shows up fast.

How to play

Move constantly to keep your hero away from the swarm - your character fires arrows at the nearest enemy automatically, so positioning is the entire skill. Each time you level up, click to choose a new skill or upgrade instead of just gaining raw stats. Waves get harder in phases and end in a boss fight, so build toward whichever skills are working best rather than collecting everything on offer.

Controls

WASD to move your hero, who fires automatically at the nearest enemy. Click to choose a skill or upgrade on level-up, use the mouse to navigate menus, and press ESC to pause.
