Valdis Story: Abyssal City casts players as Wyatt, exploring the remains of a once-holy city amid a conflict between the goddesses Myrgato and Alagath. Their war transforms human souls into demons and angels, while the dwindling population faces a choice between taking sides and dying. The setting gives the exploration a grim purpose: the city is not simply a backdrop, but a place shaped by the struggle Wyatt encounters.
Combat blends swordsmanship, martial arts, and sorcery against demons, angels, and the Ferals. Magic souls can help both in battle and while traversing the ruins, while leveling lets players develop stats and skills to suit a preferred style. Weapon and armor upgrades, customizable equipment, and accessories add further decisions, with some accessories carrying the risk of getting Wyatt killed. These systems make preparation and experimentation part of the action rather than separating character-building from exploration.
The city’s interconnected zones support both discovering new areas and revisiting places already explored, giving the platforming journey a sense of continuity. The store listing identifies the game as single-player and notes two playable characters; its format is therefore a solo adventure, not a shared-world or team-based experience.
