Chasm

About

Chasm is a procedurally generated RPG platformer that mixes exploration, combat, and loot collection. You play as Daltyn, a soldier navigating maze-like mines beneath a quarantined town. Each area is handcrafted in retro pixel art, filled with traps, enemies, and hidden upgrades. Progress depends on mastering movement, managing resources, and adapting to shifting layouts. New abilities open paths, while randomized drops keep runs feeling fresh. The game’s strength lies in its balance of structure and unpredictability. Six distinct zones offer varied challenges without overwhelming repetition. Community feedback highlights the satisfying upgrade curve and tight controls, though the difficulty spike in later stages has sparked some debate. Available on PlayStation 4, PC, Xbox One, Switch, and more, it’s a single-player adventure that leans into nostalgia while tweaking formulas for modern playstyles.

Storyline

When a small mining community falls silent, a young soldier named Daltyn is sent to investigate. Upon arriving in the remote mountain town of Karthas, he discovers that paranormal forces have sealed the town off from the outside world. Now trapped, he's left with no option but to explore the mines below the town and uncover the source of the disturbances. Six huge procedurally-generated areas await, each lovingly crafted in a retro pixel art style. Help Daltyn gain new abilities and equipment, evade dangerous traps, and defeat hordes of deadly enemies in order to save Karthas - and possibly the world!
