(Build 17753208 Update added)
You are an old dreamer who,through unforeseen circumstances, has found himself trapped in the Great Abyss, the vast underworld beneath the Dreamlands. Use the resources at your disposal, weapons, armor, supplies, and any alliances you have with the locals, to explore and learn the secrets of the underworld, in order to make your way back to the upper Dreamlands, or back to the Waking World.
Although combat plays a big role in the game, it is not the only means of achieving one’s goals. Players may opt to use a combination of combat, stealth and/or dialogue to deal with the other inhabitants of the nether realms. Manage your gold, health and sanity as you traverse the Great Abyss.
Cyclopean: The Great Abyss follows the tradition of early CRPGs like Ultima, Questron, and Legacy of the Ancients (among others) in that it presents two differing views of the game world. Outside of dungeons, you see your character from the top down in a 2D display of the map. Whereas, in dungeons, the view changes to a 3D, first person perspective.
Features of Cyclopean: The Great Abyss:
- When you start the game you will be presented with a random dreamer, with basic abilities and equipment, and any alliances they have. You can choose to play as that person, or “reroll” to see if you can find a better option. Cyclopean: The Great Abyss gives you the freedom to choose from a wide variety of stodgy sounding English upper class gentlemen to play as.
- Some characters will start the game with an alliance in place. This can be very helpful in the early stages, especially for new players. Alliances allow you to have some of the various denizens of the Great Abyss join your party, and help to fight other enemies. New alliances can be formed during the game by finding and reading the right books.
- There are many other game mechanics and other things that are described in the game manual. The manual has been fully integrated with the game, so you can bring it up at any time, to learn about the various game mechanics available.
- The gameplay and combat is all turn based, allowing you to make strategic decisions. Enemies are dangerous, but polite, and will wait their turn.
