Abyss Odyssey is an action-platformer with fighting game-ish combat and rougelike-like procedural level generation, coming to PC, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3. Publisher Atlus also released the first trailer, giving a peek at the game.

"If you're fighting a skeleton in the game, it's not just a simple enemy that moves forwards and backwards and maybe just punches and throws bones," ACE Team's Carlos Bordeu explains in the trailer. "It's a complex AI with an equivalent moveset to your own."

If you take a shine to an enemy, you can even become them after defeating them and capturing their soul, morphing into them and using their moves. Every enemy has a full spread of parries and combos and air attacks and whatnot, so ACE each "feels completely different."

Have a gander for yourself in this first trailer, which shows the player becoming a bull monster:

      I remember being a teenager and thinking "wouldn't it be amazing if somebody made a deep 2d action game where the fighting system was as deep and complex as a Street Fighter game"... it looks like somebody finally got around to doing something like that. I like the idea of a 2d game where each encounter takes actual work... kind of like a 2d Dark Souls. I'm intrigued...
