Push Square's review of Brigandine Abyss on PS5 finds the tactical RPG a mixed bag, criticising its confusing early menus and lacklustre tactical depth despite offering six playable campaigns. The game opens with a rushed, jarring assassination cutscene before dropping players into slow, turn-based hexagonal combat, and the reviewer argues its biggest problem is that battles are both glacially paced and too easy to require genuine strategy.

The review notes that all six campaigns are structurally near-identical bar the starting town and a few cutscenes, and that combat can take up to half an hour per encounter due to units moving in sequence before engaging. Several exploitable mechanics undermine the challenge, including automatic counter-attacks, an overpowered charm spell, and suicidal enemy AI, while the absence of permadeath, abundant resurrection items and generous autosaves remove any real risk. By contrast, the story is described as moving at breakneck, unintentionally comic speed, with betrayals and reconciliations happening within sentences of each other.
