    Upgrades in video games are a great way to reward a player for their time playing the game, and can typically help to make something easier. Sometimes upgrading your gear is the key to progressing, while in other games it's an optional quest for a player who wants to take all the game in.

Sometimes upgrading your gear is the key to progressing, while in other games it's an optional quest for a player who wants to take all the game in. Undermine feels like it wanted to be the former, but didn't understand what it was doing. There's no real sense of progression for a player, since you're really only as good as your gear, and you have to go through all the early areas each run anyways. It's not like the gameplay keeps it afloat either way, since that starts to drag after a few runs. Sorry to say it, but Undermine is a bit of a disappointment.… Expand

    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.

    It’s worth noting that you’re still at the mercy of luck with the utterly randomized rooms and some runs can just plain out feel dirty while some have rewards galore, but it mostly feels fair. We say mostly because it felt like there was some hit and collision detection at times with finnicky spikes and holes in the floor that made for what felt like a few cheap deaths. Even so, it’s not enough to detract massively from the overall satisfying experience of adventure and progress that UnderMine provides.

    UnderMine is built to punish, but also to reward those who overcome the challenge with effort and skill. It is a game that is always a pleasure to play again, and that can steal hours and hours of our lives with no apparent effort.
