Chasm is a nice little rouge-lite Castlevania clone. Doesn't do anything too crazy and if I'm being honest the procedurally generated map hurts it by not being very clear as to where you're supposed to go. But for $6 it's definitely worth the experience and the hours of entertainment you'll get from it.

I'll second the endorsement for Chasm. Purchased it a while back and haven't beat it yet but pick it up every now and then and advance a little further.

Is it just me or Chasm's cover art looks a lot like Duke Nukem's cover art! lol

I beat Chasm, but I found it ultimately to be generic. I want to buy blue fire, but not for switch.

I love Chasm but find the bosses too hard vs all its other game play. But a beautiful game overall.

If you haven't already attempted Stadia, you can sign up for a Stadia pro trial and play it for free. Also, if you have someone invite you, get an extra free month. If you sign up for Google One for $2 you can get a 3 month trial. They do not stack. I absolutely love Google One and shared it via Google Family. The additional storage can be shared among family members throughout Google's Cloud services. I got Google One with a free trial from my Chromebook with the intent to only use it as an attempt to transfer a phone's messages and contacts after several hours of failed attempts with different apps including SD card transfer. It worked and I was so amazed with the service I kept it at $2 a month. Google fanboy out.

RevOne, thanks for posting. I wonder when the comments about you being a shill for posting your own reviews, even though they're clearly not your reviews lol.

Chasm is a good game for under $10.

Yeah. I thought it was Duke Nukem too.

Just here to gush about Chasm. It plays like a classic SNES Action-Adventure side-scrolling RPG. The pixel graphics are super charming and I recall even enjoying the music. Story was just ok, but the gameplay was quite fun IMO. If you're a retro gamer you will likely dig it.

Chasm is a gentler Castlevania. Good game, not great but I'm glad I finished it. Recently got a switch and with 6$ it is hard to not get.

It's awesome to see all this positivity towards Chasm. I share the concensus, it's a surprisingly solid roguelike Metroidvania. I will note it's somewhat similar to Dead Cells in concept, and DC was definitely superior, but for $6 it's a great deal.
