From the Abyss DS

I read a review for this and it looks like a game that I'd like. I bunch of grinding and dungeon crawling. I went to a few stores and couldn't find it. I thought it was out because it says now shipping on the gamestop website but nobody had it. Has anybody else tried it or even seen it in the store at all?

Smaller releases tend to get the it'll get to the stores when it does treatment. Its an Aksys game and won't be high on anyones 'BUY' list to the point that stores will be taking it in the shorts by not having it on their floors right now.

Amazon is also listing it as shipping if you're really clamoring for it right now. Otherwise just wait a week or so and i'll be in GameStops.

well I finally found a copy of this game. I've been keeping an eye out since I started this thread so it wasn't easy to find in the stores. I think its an ok game for $30. Its really like a Zelda clone with rpg elements. Reminds me of Secret of Mana ever so slightly. I've only played for about 20 minutes so far but can easily see myself getting addicted to it.

I ordered it from Amazon.com and got it a few days after release. I'm at the final dungeon, and so far the game has been a breeze...

I tend to like my action RPG's to be a little more challenging, but this game is still enjoyable. Basically the game is like Children of Mana, but single player is actually fun!

Well I finished it today, and there isn't really much incentive to play the game after the credits. What is interesting is that the enemies in every area have been beefed up and their exp. values are increased. So the weakling enemies in the first dungeon, who you can smash for 999 damage before beating the game, now have higher stats and health and take 2-3 hits to kill. Still, starting a new game and going a different route (I.E. make a spell caster biased character instead of a meele biased one) and getting a new random dungeon layout seems like a better option then re-treading through your already mapped out dungeon from your beaten game.
