    As it is UnderMine is a slightly addictive, but also quite grindy roguelike which can get boring a bit too soon. With just a few changes, especially in the way boosting items such as artifacts work, as well as a few additional tools like weapons or skills (and maybe a more striking art style), it could be one of the genre's classics.

    This game is best played with a controller, I tested it and it works with the Xbox One controller or ASTRO C40. I have not tested this game with a keyboard.

    Sometimes you ask yourself, what if 'The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth' & 'Enter the Gungeon' created a baby, what would it look like? This is the game. For an Early Access game, the pixel art style is amazing for what they’re trying to achieve with this game.

    Storyline premise, I have no idea, all I know is that your a lowly mining peasant who is sent on a journey with quests to rescue trapped people inside the goldmines, travel your way through dungeons and battle dangerous bosses.

    One cool thing about this game is that the game generates a new character name upon respawn at death (when health goes to 0) or at the creation of each new game save. So ideally, you will never have the same character ever.

    It is a simple yet effective game. It's not as complex or well made as Isaac but it has it's own charm that just works. The items are a bit dull at times but recent patches has added better stuff.

    The story is fine and nothing special while the dialog catches your attention quite nicely. As far as I have seen there are only very few items that makes you really strong while the rest require the player to have skill.
