Gameplay

In From The Abyss, players control an adventurer in the land of Rubenhaut. Rubenhaut was a peace loving country, ruled by queens until a dimensional gate the queens had used to seal away evil was broken. Rubenhaut's armies were incapable of fighting off the evil demons and now it is up to the player to seal them away once more.

From The Abyss sends players into randomized dungeons to fight monsters and collect items. Dungeons may be of a variety of themes such as fire and ice. A map is automatically drawn for the player as they progress through each dungeon, which itself is laid out on a grid. Single player and co-op modes are available but co-op does not allow the player to progress the story. cite web | author=IGN staff | title=From The Abyss review at IGN |format= | work=IGN.com | url=http://ds.ign.com/articles/902/902217p1.html| accessdate=2008-10-09]
