About This Game

*Unique Features*

・First person RPG
・Real-time Combat that can be paused at any moment
・Diverse Character Builds
・Many mysteries and loot to be uncovered in dungeons

*Combat*

Combat operates in real time.
You can pause at any time so analyze your enemy’s attacks, buff your allies, intercept enemy attacks and deploy a wide range of tactics to gain an advantage.
You will be able to see what the enemy intends on doing. It is important to react with the appropriate skills.
Basically, you want to…

1. Pause and see how the enemy intends to attack.
2. Choose the appropriate skills.
3. Unpause.

Combat will be done by repeating these steps.

Skills you want to use in combat will be set into the “Formation Panel” formed by 9 panels, prior to combat.
The outcome of combat will be affected greatly by the skills and the position of the skills you place on the Formation Panel.
The Formation Panel will be shared by the party, a unique feature of this game is to come up with ways to use the limited number panels you have.

*Character Builds*

You can build a character by customizing 8 abilities, 5 basic stats, skills and gear.

*Party Build*

You build the party by setting up skills of the characters into the Formation Panel.
Some skills have synergistic effects, and the Formation Panel should be set up so that the skills complement each other.

*Exploration*

In Path of the Abyss, you explore a world comprised by one giant dungeon and several minor dungeons.
Uncover the mysteries of the dungeons, strengthen your characters and make it to the the deepest depths of the dungeon.

*Story*

A small ruin in East Weltden.
In a forgotten ruin that has been robbed countless times, sightings of terrifying monsters became frequent.
Some scoffed at the sightings as mere rumors, and ventured into the ruins to boast of their intrepidity, only to never return.
The Lord of East Weltden dispatched an investigation team but it only resulted in a bloodbath.

Rumors of this ruin traveled far and wide, luring skilled adventurers to the land.
You are such an adventurer yourself.
