It's not just their PC as it's happening to me too. Seems like V-sync doesn't work.
Edit: Just as confirmation I forced v-sync through catalyist and now it seems like the option in the menu doesn't do anything.
Yep, in game Vsync is definitely broken, there's a looot of tearing when it goes over 60.
Also, the game is WAY more like Melee than I thought. So much in fact, that I keep trying to downward stab as Link :lol. I love how RS works the same way the C-stick does as well.
Well 2560x1440 up and running no problemo (and some hideouly compressed Steam shots)
Well it's a UE3 game and it's always had poor vsync implementation as standard. This is only double buffered as well so either force it through drivers or use Radeon Pro or D3DOverrider if you want triple buffering. Though I don't know how many people are going to drop lower than 60 as performance is the usual UE3 level my end.

They said it made the game too easy as two players could (I assume) pretty much stunlock enemies in a corner.
It also feels very sluggish for me too. I'm not really digging it at all. The movement speed is just too slow for me.

This is fairly annoying. Doesn't help that it's the same in the how-to-play section as well.
Does anyone know exactly when the game auto saves? I exited the game after buying a weapon and equipped it. Reload and the money is gone but the weapon is missing.

I like it so far but I do with stuff like turning around was instant. It does feel a bit stiff as well. Looks fine and the music is great.
I keep seeing people complaining about turning around. Does "turning around" mean something different than making your character face from one direction to the other, or am I just missing something? Maybe it's because the game doesn't run all that smoothly on my machine, but I haven't noticed any undue lag in turning around. I press left, character faces left,I press right, character faces right.

It was kinda frustrating at first but I got a handle on things.
Main thing that helps is buying potions whenever they're available, using the spell to grab allies when necessary, and managing HP.
Co-op is going to require a good partner and/or local play so it's easy to communicate.
Gonna do some training mode practice, learn some combos or something.
And yeah the slight pause when turning is annoying. The heroine (I forgot her name already) has a spin move. I throw that out instead of turning around if someone is right behind me.
Reached the bottom of the dungeon and beat the Warlock

PSN version is up. $10.49.
Also, it's 542MB. Which is like, half the size of the PC version. Reason to worry?

Thats what I mean. I would like it if there wasn't any animation when switching directions. I want the character to turn the other direction instantly with no animation like most 2D games. I've only played the game for about 2 hours so I'll keep playing around and get used to it. Its just my old school way of thinking when it comes to 2D gameplay.
No Vs Mode so that takes part of the weight also might be 720 assets

xbla version not up ?
Has anyone managed to get any Steam Trading Cards from this game? I played for roughly an hour and a half and have yet to obtain a single one.
There doesn't look to be any on the market either, and I can't find a progress entry in the Steam Badge page.
I ask because the store page indicates that the game supports them, but I honestly haven't found any actual evidence that it does.

Wow, that quickly?! I was hoping it would more demanding. Assuming you bought it today, that is way too short.

Similar here, had 5 floors left and died. Seemed surprisingly good for a 2nd run through =/
It'll be up tomorrow
Ok, what's the button to actually buy something from the merchant? I know I've got enough money and the game's not telling me that it's the wrong weapon or anything, but even after pressing every action, I can't seem to actually purchase anything. I've re-bound all my keys, so any answer would have to be in the form of "it's the attack button" or "it's the throw button".
And now that I think of it, I'm having the same issue with assigning skill points. The game's UI is saying that it should be the green button, and from the looks of the control menu that should be "jump". However, I press the space bar and nothing.

The game's main selling point is replayability.
When enough players beat the final boss, new content unlocks in the game.

How did you get it running at 4K? Caps out at 2560x1600 for me. Menus don't adjust for 16:10 either :/
GeDoSaTo and set the resolution via the config files. I posted the path where they're stored on the last page. Will be where you have My Documents pointed. On a single 780 I'm getting between 30-50fps depending on the effects on screen. Tinkering away on an Inspector profile as I doubt this is high in Nvidia's list of things to do.
For me despite having a 2560x1440 native res monitor the highest resolution that showed in game was 1920x1200. Haven't tried any other aspect ratios yet so haven't seen any funky menu or UI quirks but UI elements don't scale with increased resolutions. I'll have a look-see in a sec.
I can't post the link at the moment, but the devs are pretty active on the Steam forums if you have feedback.

looking forward to trying this later. Hope I don't regret pre-ordering.

What level were you when you beat it?
18. I always died near the bottom of the runs and on the 3rd died at the boss.
Bless Bauta making the final boss easy

Ended up getting it on PC and played local co-op with a friend. It's pretty fun. Good deal for $10 considering the random/procedurally generated content and the developers' promise to alter the game when people defeat bosses enough.
Good chance I'll be getting home from work early. If that happens I'll attempt to play single player.

Really enjoying this so far, still getting to grips with the combat and just unlocked Ghost Monk, good stuff 
Is it just me or does something just feel very slightly 'off' ? Maybe it's just the way my mind is programmed with these games but it just feels like if they tightened it up just a bit more it would be even better. As it is it's a cool game so far, I just feel like it could be even better with a bit of tweaking. Or maybe my brain just needs to get used to it.

I think what feels off is the animations taking priority over responsive controls. Not a big deal and an obvious design choice. I think with enough playtime everyone will get the hang of it.

My thinking was if the game is too easy there won't be enough incentive to replay it. There needs to be more gratification beyond helping unlock new content.
Luckily, I'm just about to head home and find out!
Yeah true, I must admit I wish the turning was quicker as well. Just feels a bit too slow IMO. Still there's nothing really game breaking in there.

It appears the OST for the pre orders isn't available yet due to a mix-up on the publisher's part. From what JaseC posted on the Steam thread they accidentally used the 'post-release' version of the game for pre orders, and vice versa, meaning the OST included isn't currently in the version we bought.
They've since acknowledged the issue and are working on updating the copies.

Just got it loaded up on my crappy 5 year old laptop.(Core 2 T9550/Mobility Radeon HD 4670)
Runs really well at 900p, but I've to turn all the options OFF to keep FPS @ 40+ (Ambient Occlusion etc.). It's a UE3 based game so everything can be further customized in the config files located at:-
C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\Documents\My Games\AbyssOdyssey\AOGame\Config
Those with Intel HD Graphics (3000/4000/5000) should be able to run it fairly smoothly.

Is it just me or are the special attacks, atl east in the beginning, mostly useless? They take so long to execute that the enemy has already thrown me off my feet most of the time.
And I'm not against slow combat per se but there is something agonizing about seeing a really long attack animation played out that you can't cancel out of while your enemy stabs you in the back. I don't know how this could be improved in a balanced way but it is indeed a bit frustrating.
