    This game is mediocre at best. I got bored of it's inane attempts at comedy and even more bland combat system. This genre is way too over populated with games that were not worth the time to produce...

    Going Under benefits from unique, vibrant visuals and fairly engaging gameplay. It comes up very short in the areas of needlessly wordy character dialogue that add nothing to the game and very, very unrewarding grinding.

Too little time was spent developing the primary gameplay to sustain its necessary playtime, and too much hope was put into the bland, stock dialogue to carry the player through gameplay deadzones (which are too common and last too long). Oh, and there are plenty of gamecrashing bugs that like to come out to play right when you get to a boss.… Expand

    A bright colorful package that has managed to - happily - disrupt our time with the other big Roguelikes of the minute. Maybe all you really need is a few great ideas. [Issue#352, p.120]

    If you are tired of the roguelike or have been looking for a perfect one to start with - you could try with the Going Under. A quirky, fast paced, humorous dungeon crawler, painted in neon baby colors that you didn't even know your TV could support. So be your friend and lower the color intensity, for you will most probably spend some hours with this one. Pretty addictive.

    Going Under is a fun dungeon crawler that parodies capitalism and the culture surrounding it. While a shorter experience, the game is given a solid level of replayability thanks to the procedural generation and wide variety of weapons. Though the combat feels like it’s lacking depth at times, it’s still fun to sling office equipment around at foes. Going Under is a great offering from the team at Aggro Crab and Team17.
