Description

Based off the 2018 PlayStation 4, PlayStation Vita, and Nintendo Switch game. Each area contains multiple exits and teleports. For optimal fun, use the default distribution mode 'Save Rooms' as well as No-Split mode.

Chasm uses a small amount of procedural generation to define small details in the map while keeping the general layout the same. Because of this, the map used here charted live at twitch.tv/absolutelyethan and the Seed generated by the game was 2E5C71A

It's obvious that a lot of good work went into this map and yet... it's too linear for the most part, and where it isn't the connections are all over the place, which can get a bit confusing.

There's also a broken connection between T11 and T16.

Was a lot of fun to play on, but I get what others are saying about the linear nature of it, and also the 'some starting points are better than others'.

Not sure what the best places to spawn are yet but I can see that the 'only 1 way into' the Temple make for some strategic plays, while also making the Save Room starting point in the Magma area useless (no ability to expand, easy to be blocked in).

In fact, just now finished a game (while I'm writing this) that demonstrates this, where someone chose that point, and when I finally got to the Magma area from the Mines after having traveled to various other areas, he was just getting to the exit, so it was easy to block him from getting out. So maybe don't pick that starting point, hm?

And as Seleukos pointed out, the T11-T16 connection needs repair, or the line removed if that's the intent. Right now, it's misleading.

A lovely detailed map. I don't know the game, but judging by the detail, I expect it's pretty accurate. In visual details, I think the temple portals need to be enlarged as they were very fiddly to click on, though that's my only issue there.

Gameplay wise, it does unfortunately suffer from location difficulties. Magma for example is very easy to be trapped in in FFA games with no escape. The temple area also only has two exits, whereas the other areas are very well interconnected, along with teleporters located throughout. I think with some bonus redistribution, you could get some interesting FFA games. At present, it's good for two players, one "magma", one "temple" where you can get power bases and then battle through the middling floors.

Overall, a nice looking map but with limited play modes. 4/5 stars.

Nice map, alot of things can happen at the depths of earth! I was watching Thanos mapping this out and was overjoyed how nice the map eventually looked like.

Interesting map layout but in my oppinion some to long straight connections.
And it could need some bonusses between the 1 territory bonus and the superbonus. You don't have to use them, but if they are not implemented at all you can't add them in games you would like to have them.

After playing a few games on it, the errors are pretty glaring. Some positions have significant advantages, and if everyone knows them, it's luck if the draw
