Abysm 2: Infernal Contract is an an action adventure GZDoom TC for Doom 2 inspired by games such as Diablo, Dark Souls and Strife. The mod features The mod features A Hub level progression where you complete quests, level up your stats, and upgrade your weapons while keeping Doom's run and gun gameplay. It is the Sequel to Abysm: Dawn of Innocence. The City of Hadria is under attack by the forces of Hell. Nadia, a member of the Mercenaries of Iron, has been tasked to keep the city safe and, with the help of a Grand Scholar, stop the invasion to save the world from the certain doom.
A huge improvement over the first Abysm! This one felt a lot tighter level design wise. The experience system is a great addition as well. I played through as the "mage" on normal and immediately put on the extra difficulty at the shrine.
I think a few more optional dungeons and maybe another boss fight would be a great addition.
I actually found the Sword Dancer harder and more interesting than the final boss! The King battle was also pretty good!
I have to give full props to that "dream" level. Just pure agony for me to finish (but in a good way!). The boss for that level was also really well done.
I think the Vile could do with a reduction of health to 110.
The reward from the poison serpent level (says max health increase) did not get added, my max health stayed the same
My only BIG gripe is that I could not swim to the "Kronos" boss area without taking drowning damage.
Overall, this mod is FANTASTIC and I am genuinely surprised at how this came out so quick, with so much improvement. 10/10
EDIT: Music is also fantastic. Some really amazing tracks here.
Was actually surprised when the game ended, thought something crazy was going to occur to set up the a third game (like the town being massacred or something to that effect).
Abysm 2 is a love letter to diablo and darksouls, all mounted on a doom-familiar gameplay but with not-minor RPG elements. Zelda-style (soulstyle?) exploration and questing, dungeons, progression, a great roster of enemies, even greater boss fights and stupidly good level design and superb soundtrack. You just CAN'T not play this.
It's a great mod, with grade expansion, love and dedication.
Like we say in Argentina: Juegaso
This is very fun! Congratulations to the creators of this awesome MOD/TC!
¡Great!.
Super mod
Excellent work! Abysm 1 & 2 is masterfull in my opinion.
A combination of Diablo, Dark Souls and Strife in a unique story game-play fantasy medieval game.
Better than the first Abysm in a few key areas which elevate it to being an almost perfect DOOM WAD for me. One, the level design and flow of the storyline is much more intuitive. Didn't get lost once, which was a common occurrence in the first Abysm.
Two, the weaponry and usables are really damn cool this time around.
And finally.. The difficulty curve and resources given to the player through loot and enemy drops are spot on.
AMAZING.
EDIT: Expansion was just as good and I loved the new areas and flow of the story in it. Still as good as a mod gets imho. Mods like this make DOOM my favorite game for mods!
Tons of fun, this is the way to do open world and mix shooter and rpg elements. But you have to check at least the controls menue to see how to play this tc, for some reason I did not bother to do so until recently and thus needed three attempts to get into it. My mistake.
