    I thoroughly enjoy Undermine. The game keeps me coming back for more and if my character dies, I know it was my fault and not the game being cheap. I highly recommend this game.

    It's a good game, I'm always discovering something new whenever I play it!!!

    It's a great game to play in small bursts.

    Undermine is a solid roguelite that is let down by an rng system that tends to throw a **** of enemies and traps at you that will **** up your entire run. The game is also very grindy. Games like this expose how indie devs use roguelites to padd out short gameplay experiences. Look at Binding of isaac which has variations to the levels different possible bosses you can fight and powerupsUndermine is a solid roguelite that is let down by an rng system that tends to throw a **** of enemies and traps at you that will **** up your entire run. The game is also very grindy. Games like this expose how indie devs use roguelites to padd out short gameplay experiences. Look at Binding of isaac which has variations to the levels different possible bosses you can fight and powerups that can change your playstyle, this game lacks that variety and is best played in short burst due to its tendency of getting repetitive. Decent game if you can get it on sale.… Expand

    Solid game with beautiful graphics. Progression makes you want to play another round. RNG some times does not favor you but that is not a serious problem. Lovely game that keeps on giving.
    Two things are a bit of a let down. First is the lack of local coop, it would be a blast and second is the music, no variety at all and gets annoying fairly quick.

    This game is okay although there's nothing new in the formula. It's like a chill mix between BoI and Rogue Legacy, without what made those classics. And it's in pixel art.
    It's not a bad game at all - but if you already played a lot of roguelites, then you won't be surprised and you already know most of the formula.

    UnderMine fills the shoes of a roguelite game in a very effective way. Not only does the game implement the roguelite conventions right, it also features an excellent system of relics and curses and a simple but competent combat. While it may not look like the slickest game ever made, there's more than enough in Undermine to lock in players for many, many hours.

    There isn’t much more that needs to be said about Thorium’s UnderMine. I don’t care if you’re a fan of roguelikes or if you hate them – this is one of the easiest recommendations I’ve made. There’s a ton here to keep you busy, and the subject matter and setting seamlessly lend themselves to DLC. Given the response UnderMine has received so far, I wouldn’t be surprised to hear of more content coming along sooner than later. Now, excuse me, I’ve gotta get back to work.

    It’s very well-constructed and polished to an impressive degree. But it doesn’t do anything particularly unexpected, and for some people that may be enough to make them want to take a pass.
