35 New Upgrades

This update introduces 35 brand new upgrades, bringing the game's total to over 100! It's crazy that we ended up hitting this number.

A big part of this is the new set- Antimatter! This is a unique upgrade set that inflicts a new status called Tick. Ticked enemies get annihilated after a set period of time, triggering a variety of really cool effects!

The objective with this set was to enable a different style of play, making it necessary to keep certain enemies alive in order to make the most of the ability. We hope everyone finds this set fresh and fun!

New Features

We've introduced 2 new core features to the gameplay: Shop, and Barters!

- Shop

The shop is a new machine found in normal runs. Use your energy to buy extra upgrades, heals, and brand new boosters, which are temporary positive effects that last for 1 wave!

- Barters

A mysterious new feature has appeared: Barters!

There's a chance that, after completing a wave, you may be offered a deal... you may benefit, but not without a cost...

New Class

We've introduced a brand new class- the Joker! This unique class is completely randomized.

Stats, fire type, starting upgrades... it'll be different every time! We hope you enjoy the randomized chaos of this new class.

...And More!

There's even more additions, so take a look at the patch notes below!

Thank you very much for playing Breach the Abyss! This will be our last major update for the forseeable future. The team is moving on to other projects, so we hope you will look forward to those...!

Thanks for all the support! We hope everyone has fun.

Until next time!
