This is an in-depth analysis and full guide of the game Shadow Tower Abyss by FromSoftware.
This is my first ever video on my channel, and quite a big one.

I cover everything about the game - from the lore to the game mechanics to an in-depth explanation of each area and the enemies within.

I have also translated the game's Japanese-only manuals and strategy guide to be able to give a full explanation of how all of the game's mechanics (including stats!) work. I have seen many comments and posts from people over the years asking how the stats work in this game, so now this guide should help explain all of that for you.

I also give my analysis of the lore of the game as well as my opinion on the game's strengths and weaknesses as I encounter them. I know it's a long one, but I hope you enjoy it!
