Two intertwined threads of fate travel down different story paths in Duet Night Abyss, an epic action RPG coming from Hero Games this month. Duet Night Abyss’ slick combat features combine with an epic branching tale that is sure to enthral fans who love deep narrative in their games. But Duet Night Abyss also lacks the starred characters and weapons that artificially inflate power levels, which is great news for players who like to spend time on the battlefield.

Duet Night Abyss takes place in a fallen land that’s in a state of perpetual war, and two protagonists are called on to seek out how the conflict started — and how it will develop. You freely choose which protagonist to control across Duet Night Abyss’ chapters until their storylines intertwine and build up to a climax that reveals the hidden depths of its world. The Impression System’s dice rolls can influence the things you say and the choices you make. The world of Duet Night Abyss responds in kind.

No Stamina Ticker, No Pay-to-Win
And fighting is one way to make your mark. It’s easy enough to mow down the hostile hordes when you have Duet Night Abyss’ loadout of pistols, grenade launchers, whipswords, and more. (None of which are locked to specific characters, so choose your arsenal freely.) Without any kind of stamina system, you’re free to hunt your quarry for as long as you like, using one-click Helix Leap, Sprint, Wall Jump, Grappling Hook, and other mobility options.
Unlocking Demon the Wedges (Duet Night Abyss’ Gear System follows this same stamina-free principle, letting you tackle commissions at your own pace. With unlimited potential, Demon Wedges allow you to add affixes to modify skills, attacks, and damage to personalize your playstyle with fixed increments.
In fact, Duet Night Abyss’ new monetisation and progression systems aim to break away from the industry’s standard monetisation practices for free-to-play games. There are no star ratings or banners for characters and weapons, meaning no one character flaunts “Epic” status over another. Players buy the exact number of shards they need to unlock characters, though they can also obtain those characters freely in-game. Weapons can also be forged and bolstered using items collected in commissions (dungeons). There’s no random element at play when you recruit your chosen fighters and unlock your weapons.

A detailed coloring system also lets you dye multiple parts of both weapon and character skins. No matter how you play, and no matter who you play as, there are endless ways to make your own mark on this brand new world.
