PLAY IT OR SKIP IT?
Play it, but only if you like retro games. I had a blast with UnderDungeon thanks to its nostalgic gameplay and visuals. Although I’m not a huge fan of dungeon crawlers, UnderDungeon entertained me enough that I’d like to give more of these games a try.
TIME PLAYED
I played UnderDungeon for three and a half hours. Each quest took me at least thirty minutes to complete, with harder quests increasing in length as well as challenge.
WHAT’S AWESOME
• Narrative. I always love it when games make me chuckle, especially in the most serious situations. UnderDungeon’s rich narrative kept me entertained and wanting to know more about this peculiar world of monsters and dangerous package delivery. The jokes can be a little corny, but they were hilarious enough to pull me in much longer than I’d anticipated.

• Gameplay. UnderDungeon provides a classic, fun dungeon crawler experience filled with all sorts of monsters, traps, and quests to overcome. Every time I thought I’d seen it all and killed every monster possible, UnderDungeon always surprised me with new twists.
• Aesthetic. Although UnderDungeon’s art style might not appeal to everyone, I enjoyed it. It reminded me of the old games I used to play as a kid on PC emulators. The music’s pretty freakin’ good too.

WHAT SUCKS
• Crashes. UnderDungeon crashed in the middle of a battle around thirty minutes in. It crashed again when I was trying to purchase something from a merchant after an hour. Those were the only two crashes I encountered, but two crashes in less than four hours of play is a little concerning. I’m glad the game automatically saved my progress, or I’d have had an unpleasant grind back up to where I left off to look forward to.
• Disturbing blinking. One of the ways UnderDungeon emphasizes emotion is by rapidly inverting black and white hues across certain visual elements. Unfortunately, the game abuses this clever idea to the point that it became annoying and, in some cases, blinding.

It's dangerous to deliver alone! | UnderDungeon - Review
What UnderDungeon lacks in color, it makes up for with an aggressive monochromatic stylized 1 bit graphics full of life, energy, and a highly stimulating retro music. UnderDungeon is an adventure game inspired by classic dungeon crawlers; brimming with humor, wit, and charm. Our character is the cat-slash-magician Kimuto who is on his first day of work.

Undergrave Review: The Hardest Strategy Game I've Ever Played
I can't remember the last time I've ever completed a jigsaw puzzle. I wasn't exceptionally patient as a child—not that that’s changed much now. But every time I see a five-thousand-piece puzzle box in a department store, I wonder to myself, "how can anyone muster the patience to solve this?" I'm sure it's an enjoyable pastime, but I just can't handle the time and effort it takes to solve extremely long

Tactical Rouguelike : Best of Both Worlds. #TapTapExplorerS1
A fusion of Rouguelike dungeon crawling and turn based tactical gameplay, Undergrave is certainly the best of both worlds. To beat the game, you have to clear all floors by defeating all enemies without getting defeated yourself. You can jump on them, bash through them or throw your sword at them, the catch is that they move at the same rate as you and if you get too close, they won't hesitate to attack you. As in any Rouguelike games, some floors will grant you abilities that can mean the difference between life and death.
