You have been locked in a prison where illegal genetic experiments have been going on. The scientist figure out how to genetically make anyone go into a rage. They call it the Abuse virus. It has gotten loose and spread through out the entire prison. You have to fight your way through all the mutated and enraged enemies and make sure this doesn't leave the prison.

This is a great game, period. It was awesome when it came out in 1997, it is still awesome today.
Think of an sci-fi fps game with aliens, now put it into 2 dimensions - boom, you got Abuse. This is not a platformer in a traditional sense as it may seem from the screenshots, this is mainly a shooter.
The skill level is rather high compared with todays games, nevertheless it's loads of fun for a seasoned gamer.

Didn't realize this was a re-release of an older game that doesn't exactly invite casual gamers into it's playground. Not bad pricing, but still I could have spent that on something more interesting.

Awesome platformer with great atmosphere. To my knowledge, the first one to allow you to aim with the mouse while moving with the keyboard. Only thing I don't like in it are the jumping controls.

This feels more like a high-quality flash game than a standalone full-on game. But if you consider how old it is, the quality of this game really is quite good. It's a fun game to play, I would love to see an update with a useful map and perhaps joystick control. (Maybe there is joystick control and I didn't see it. The keyboard controls are really kinda meh.)
All in all, it's a very fun, albeit simple game.

Old simple DOS classics. Great for passing time when you just want something simple, but still with enough difficulty to make you feel like you acheived something when you finish it. Abuse was always one of my favorites and still to this day entertains me and keeps me coming back for more.

If you are into the shoot em up 2D alien shooters. Look no further...
