Welcome to Chasm, an action-adventure game in which you play a new recruit undertaking your first mission for the Guildean Kingdom. Thrilled to prove your worth as a knight, you track strange rumors that a mine vital to the Kingdom has been shut down. But what you discover in the mining town is worse than you imagined: The townspeople have disappeared, kidnapped by supernatural creatures emerging from the depths.
Honor-bound to solve the mystery and restore peace to the Kingdom, you embark upon an epic adventure, with deadly battles against cunning monsters, exploration of ancient catacombs and castles, and powerful new equipment hidden at every turn. Though the overall story is the same for all players, your hero's journey will be unique: each of the rooms has been hand-designed, and behind the scenes Chasm stitches these rooms together into a one-of-a-kind world map that will be your own.
Key Features

Enjoy challenging retro gameplay and authentic pixel art (384x216 native res.)
Battle massive bosses and discover new abilities to reach previously inaccessible areas
Customize your character by equipping armor, weapons, and spells
Windows, Mac, & Linux versions with full Gamepad support
Easy to like and enjoy. Excellent for casual gamers.
Controller response is perfect, difficulty settings are spot on.
Just plain old-school type fun :)
Sliding along walls, running backwards (like SOTN), double jumping. These mechanics make the exploration really enjoyable and relaxing. About story, there are very interesting puzzles, that sometimes will fly over your head, but the hints are there. So the puzzles are quite challenging if you make long pauses during your game time.
The story itself is simple. I'd say the lore is shallow. The side quests are fun, even if it's just finding items for the villagers. I thought the bosses were a bit generic and not very challenging.
The pixel art is great. I love pixel art games.
In the end, it was a very fun experience. Even with the cons, I couldn't stop playing it, so it's a 4/5.
As the title says.
HOWEVER:
THE GOOD:
-Art assets and direction is coherent and solid
-Music is fitting and superbly done
-Game is responsive and allows for many styles of gameplay
THE BAD:
-Controls can be iffy/annoying at times, specially on keyboard
-Walljumping makes getting off a ledge grab a toss up between falling down where you want to go and jumping off in to the other direction
-The procedural generation makes following a guide/walkthrough nigh useless
THE ODD:
-THEM SILKY SMOOTH SPRITE ANIMATIONS
-The ending is VERY meh
Fun game!!!
I enjoyed every minute of it.
good metroidvania for the collection.
Unfortunately it doesnt have replayability. After i beat the game i uninstalled it because there was nothing else to do.
There is something about this game that makes it really satisfying to play. Maybe it's the beautiful animations or maybe it's the difficulty level that is just right (not to hard, not too easy), or maybe it's the variety it gives by combining elements of rougelike and metroidvania genres. I don't know what it is exactly, but it certainly works. I beat the game a few years back and now I'm playing it again and it still provides me with tons of fun. Highly reccomended!
