Duet Night Abyss review – a Wuthering Waves-like adventure that needs some work
Perhaps the most interesting ‘gacha’ release of this year is Duet Night Abyss. It’s by Hero Games, of Black Myth Wukong fame, and introduces us to a sprawling fantasy world where you’re armed with both melee and ranged weapons. The difference is that there “is no gacha” – at least not for characters.
I got an early look at the game a few months ago, and wrote in my Duet Night Abyss preview that while it’s very reminiscent of aspects of our favorite gacha games, there’s plenty to set it apart. This holds true for the full release. Duet Night Abyss does have an art style similar to Wuthering Waves, and a setting comparable to Honkai Star Rail’s Jarilo-VI, along with characters that draw comparisons from a few titles.
The aspects that make this game different are the combat, the stat-based gameplay, and the gacha mechanics. During my preview, there was still a gacha system for the characters (which royally screwed me over, and I got so few that it was hard to make a proper team). Now, there’s none of that… or is there? Instead, you use pulls on cosmetics banners. There were outfits already in the game for most characters, but now you can get a fine selection of hats and accessories with just a few pulls.
