## What is Gate of Abyss?

THE SETTING

Portals are proliferating all over the world, causing mayhem as evil creatures trickle out of them. As a player in Gate of Abyss, you are a member of The Alliance, a mighty organization formed as a last line of defense against the chaos and darkness that is quickly ripping the world apart. Travel around and close these portals to end the destruction, but be wary of Reapers that viciously guard each portal.

Gate of Abyss reflects a parallel dimension of Earth. GPS is used to determine your location, and you explore this dimension by travelling around physically with your phone. Day and night is reflected by the time zone of your location, and the game map distinguishes between features such as land and water bodies. 

EXPLORE

Roam around solo or with friends in real life and discover monsters, complete quests and seek hidden treasures. Join parties & guilds.

FIGHT

Defend the world against the darkness by killing mobs and destroying portals, or take part in PvP arenas to leave your mark in leaderboard rankings.

BUILD

Construct buildings that will support you and fellow players. Set your hometown where you wish to reside and establish a town hall to attract citizens.

Suitable for gamers of all levels, whether you're a casual player with limited time or a hardcore player seeking a real challenge.

### 5/5 — GOA Warrior

*2025-02-26*

Such a fun addictive game with rewards!

**Developer response:** Thank you so much!  We've been working hard with new updates and will soon be adding the Guilds feature, which will itself be expanded even further with future updates.  We're just getting started!

### 2/5 — It’s alright

*2025-02-19*

As far as the gameplay goes it’s pretty straightforward and easy to learn. However, the fighting aspect is far too boring to personally keep me captivated. If it gets better after some time then that is awesome but the introduction still wasn’t exciting which for me ruined the whole experience

**Developer response:** Thanks for the review.  I'm sorry it wasn't totally to your liking, but if you have ideas that you think would make the game more exciting, please join our discord and let us know. https://discord.com/invite/thetipsycompany

*2025-02-09, version 0.8.5*

*2024-09-24*

Cross between world of Warcraft and Pokémon. Build your character. Select their class. Choose and upgrade equipment. Add spells and skills. Attack mobs go on raids with other players. This game is so addictive and is still early in development with loads more features to come. Best mobile game of 2024 for me!
