    As a pure game, Underground has its flaws, but it's an engaging and challenging puzzle game, which does a lot to make the gamer happy to play.

    Underground succeeds in providing players with an interesting challenge, and the unusual control scheme makes users immediately sit up and pay attention.

    Considering Underground was developed originally as a simulator and will hopefully assist in the development of surgical skills, it's great to see it works well as a standalone game, too.

    The controls are in my opinion the only aspect that troubled me more than once.

    The clunky controls feel like they have been adapted from another purpose, and made my time with Underground more of a chore than a pleasure.

    Both competent and original, but hampered by its medical background. [Apr 2015, p.77]

    Underground would have the right conditions to dispute a place in the eShop lineup with other puzzle games, if only its control scheme and AI were better implemented. Its graphical environment and sound scapes do stand out for good reasons and the puzzles it contains are challenging and fun, but all this ends up getting harmed by its faulty controls and camera system.

    Really weird game, but also quite fun, and unlike anything else I've played. I picked it up mostly because I read about the unusual backgroundReally weird game, but also quite fun, and unlike anything else I've played. I picked it up mostly because I read about the unusual background to the game (it was designed partly to train surgeons!) but I've been pleasantly surprised so far. This is exactly the type of unusual game I'd like to see more of.… Full Review »
