Operation Abyss: New Tokyo Legacy

Operation Abyss: New Tokyo Legacy is an excellent dungeon romp through a near-future sci-fi Tokyo.Finish that high-school class quick, so you can gear up and dive headlong into a quest for missing students that'll lead you into fierce battle against bizarre enemies.

With new and original ideas in very short supply, it’s hard to recommend Operation Abyss to anyone who doesn’t usually invest in offbeat Japanese roleplaying games. Yes, it may have all the essentials, but this is far from being a tour de force, feeling more like a flashy RPG Maker project than an actual published title.
