    Honest, hardcore, and truer to the original Fallout vision than certain stillborn “GOTY contenders”, Underrail will absolutely delight RPG purists.

    With dozens or even hundreds hours of gameplay, tremendous replay value and low price, Underrail is a must-buy title for RPG fans that don't mind its slightly outdated visuals.

    If you regard the 90s and first two Fallout games as ancient history, Underrail is not for you, because without the anesthetic power of nostalgia it might be completely indigestible. [03/2016, p.71]

    It's like an alternative Fallout with simple turn-based fights and old school atmosphere. A good tip for Fallout veterans.

    UnderRail manages to capture the spirit of the original Fallout even despite its abhorrent UI, heavy focus on combat, unforgiving character development system, and the final chapter which is basically a guide on how not to design a role-playing game.

    If not for the Underrail Wiki, it would be all but impossible to complete some quests. The in-game journal keeps track of active quests, but makes no mention of their stages or received hints. Still, the game is good, from nice 2D graphics to challenging tactical combat to sense of exploration when every new location has some surprises in store. [Issue#205, p.56]

    Underrail is a hard and unpolished game that can challenge and entertain the most hardcore rpg lovers. Casual gamers will find its lack of production values and its unfriendliness completely off-putting.

You can make theA solid rpg experience, underrail remind the old classic fallout combined with deus ex and system shock (psi powers). You can make the character you want, choose your path and explore an enormous system of metro station and cavern (and much more) that is called the Underrail.
    Graphics is basic but it has it's own style and united with the good music and ambient vibe recreate a good visualaudio experience.
    The game also is pretty long, you can easily put 70 to 100 hours and not see everything, not to count the replay value that is very good. Recommended.    … Expand

    I honestly think this is the best iso/tb RPG since Planescape Torment and the original Fallout games. Just hands down incredible.

    The combat feels a lot better than these older games and the general UI and map is just perfect, the game is hard but this really shouldn't be judged as a downside; you don't really have a lot of freedom to take just any playstyle you want and some parts are frustrating, but that might even make this game better, it shouldn't be a cakewalk and there are still several different types of builds that are good, you just need to make sure you read a few guides before you start playing and get stuck halfway.
    The game is pretty long with a decently large map, playing through the story took 120 hours and I played it only once making the game is well priced for this long playtime.    … Expand

Fallout 3 as originally intended for less than $15. 60hrs can be barely halfway through the story. Beautiful variety of combat options, quest resolutions, exploration, and a story that unfolds with a nice balance of exposition and in-game situations.

    With the recent update, the devs have thrown out full psi builds in favour of a 'balance over fun' mindset in a SINGLEPLAYER.
