Developers like these guys deserve our support, its obvious that they care about their game and are activlely engaged with their community. There are alot of people that will probably just not get what this type of game is all about, but for those that do they are in for a rewarding and addictive experience.Highly recommended !. UPDATE: I have changed my review from negative to positive. I took a break from this to play some other games and have come back to try it again. UNfortunately, it's been long enough that I can't remember how to get back to where the specific crash issues occured, so I'm going to start a fresh game. I still experience the freeze ups just not as often, but am going to attribute these to the possibility of my graphics card not playing nicely even though it should. I've had a couple of other odd experiences outside of this game that may be related. Just remember experiences may vary from one PC to another.ORIGINAL POST: I only give this a negative recommendation because it suffers from constant fatal errors. If these were corrected I would say it is a fun and challenging game for its style and genre. However, I played the game past level 5 when it starts to make sense and becomes somewhat easier, but it just becomes too much work and less play to be enjoyable. because this is hasn't had any updates for over a year and is stated as Definitive Edition still having these issues is a big detractor. The developer has stated some of these issues are related to Win 10 and to apply a fix listed in a post. I have done this and the reponse from the fix was there were no issues with my system. I have experienced three types of fatal errors which are likely all the same at the root of it all. The three types of errors I experienced were:1) Game freeze with no error or debug message which required closing the window and killing the process.;2) Out of Memory causing the game to close upon clicking OK. I'm not sure what language the game was written in, but I've seen tons of these in programs written in C and C++.3) Fatal crash with a debug window. I've had this happen twice, one at the entrance to the Lake and in the Goblin Hall.___________________________________________############################################################################################FATAL ERROR inaction number 1of Draw Eventfor object scr_block:DoAdd :2: illegal array useat gml_Script_monsterspecial############################################################################################--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------stack frame isgml_Script_monsterspecial (line 0)gml_Script_defendgml_Script_combatgml_Script_write_monstersgml_Script_paintwallsgml_Object_scr_block_Draw_0I really want to like the game more but it has gotten to be a major pain to play. I tried saving often, but when it crashes within 5 minutes (literally) of startup saving every 10 steps, again, is a detractor. I hope Sovereign doesn't have theese issue as I'd like to play it too. I like these type of games.. Six man party hex-based movement with turn-based combat dungeon crawler. There are not many games around in this genre, so I take what it's there. And this one is a decent one, it may not have animated monsters but arts are really nice. And Swords and Sorcery - Underworld is complex enough to keep me entertained. Bugs free also.. I grew up playing these sorts of game, obsessively graphing every square on graph paper in Wizardry, Bard's Tale, Might & Magic. Each of those games were finely honed to be exasperatingly difficult but achievable. This game pits your party of 2-6 hp adventures against monsters who do 74 damage per hit in the tutorial room that you first appear in. Party Creation to Party wipe in four mouse clicks courtesy of a single Vigilante and then back to the Party Creation screen. In my opinion, the developer(s) have taken the idea of a critical path far, far too literally. I was supposed to walk two squares forward instead of one forward and one to the right. Note: there's no prompting or visual cues that one of the seven doors you're presented with is the "right" way. There are no clues even to what kind of building you are in to let you know that maybe some of the identical doors are instant death. This is literally the first split second of the game after it's told you the controls. You are in a room. There are seven doors. Here are the movement controls. Oops you're dead. Talk about worst foot forward!EDIT: Read the comments for this review to see the developer responding to constructive criticism. Also, please note that this review was for the initial launch version and not the version currently being offered.. OK - I made it through about 1/3 of this game and really wanted to like it. However I just got bored. Its clearly a homage to the Might and Magic Series (similar ideas to World of Xeen) however you are better off just playing that series rather than this game. There is no animation, no voice, very few NPCs - the world is pretty bland and lifeless. I understand that its the product of a small shop however it didn't capture my interest. You pretty much use the same battle tactics over and over while progressing through a pretty shallow story grinding away through levels. Playing this actually inspired me to go back to an old Might and Magic Game for another playthrough. The quality of those games still shines today. My advice - if you want a grid based crawler like this game, just go play the best (Might and Magic games). GOG has them running nicely on modern machines..

My advice - if you want a grid based crawler like this game, just go play the best (Might and Magic games). GOG has them running nicely on modern machines.. This is one of the best old school, turned based RPG that I have played for years.BTW, I am an older gamer that has been playing RPGs for the last 35+ years, starting from Wizardy 1 in 1980. I played all the Wizardrys, Ultimas, Bard Tales and Might & Magic Series. This game reminds me of all those past games that I have played in the past with its square grid layout and its very engaging storyline. You can also have a team of 6 different members and there are 6 different classes each with very different and unique skills. This game is also slightly different than most normal RPG in that Sorcerers need to collect Runes to cast spells, and Priests needs to prepare a supply of Holy Water. Of course you also need to be near some water supply like Stream or Lake so you can have access to water. It is little things like this that makes the game more interesting and different. The developer also put in a lot of effort into creating different kind of dungeons with different mechanics and behavior that are uniquely distinctive. For example, in the Water Realm, there are currents and you get swept away to different location based on the current. In the Air Realm, you will fall to your death, and can only teleport to certain location using a transdisplacer device. In Earth Realm you might have to re-materialized behind the rock to discover new tunnels, etc. In Fire you have constant Inferno effect damaging you with every move and lots of other surprises. I love games with Steam Achievements, and it is possible to get all 20\/20 steam achievements in a single playthrough. I spend about 70 hours in a single playthrough. This game especially reward grinding and have monsters that repopulate so that you can grind till your heart content. You also get decent drops and experienes through grinding too.Overall, I loved this game and would highly recommend it to any old school RPG gamers. Its definitely worth the money spent.. tl;dr - This game plays exactly like a game from the late 80s. Start out pathetically weak with no armor or weapons to speak of and pray to the RNG gods your entire party isnt 1-shotted. You're going to have to grind for gold and XP before you can even think about going and doing anything. Nice hand drawn art, minimal stereotypical sound, and some weird UI choices. Its not terrible, but it's not great either. Besides the cool images during conversation scenes, theres not muct to set it apart from the crowd. If it had come out in 1989, it'd be great, but modern grid-dungeons have come a long way since then. I'm only recommending it for hardcore fans of the genre who like games like the early Wizardrys where theres a lot of RNG luck and grinding just to stay alive. __________________________________________________________This is an true-to-the-late-80s turn based dungeon crawler with interesting hand drawn graphics. The graphics are rendered in great detail, with plot scenes being shown with static full screen brightly colored comic book-style art. When I say "true to the late 80s", I mean it. Unlike many other games that took what was great about that era's RPGs and left the rest, Underworld really makes you feel like you're playing a game created in 1990 but with a unique art style.Your characters start out pitifully weak with nothing but an extremely low level melee and ranged weapon. No armor, no gold, One slap of the RNG god and you're going down to a random encounter due to how pathetic your characters are- one hit knockdowns are the norm until you reach level 2 and\/or get some better armor and even at level 2 they're very common. Fortunately theres an "unconciousness" state that incapacitates a char before death, but one hit while in that state and its off to the temple to pay a fee for res. To get even semi-decent, you're going to have to run around town grinding random encounters for gold to get your chars even marginally equipped. I feel like I'm playing the early Wizardrys here. Did I mention how much I *hate* grinding? I did way too much of it in the actual 80s, I guess. There's a reason many RPGs dont have grinding anymore, its not fun to most people. Fortunately, there is an item repeatably dropped by a certain random enemy type you can trade to the guard blocking the catacombs for 100g and 20xp. Unfortunately, you have to run all over hells half acre trying to encounter that specific enemy type. Oh, and you can't just level, you have to train which costs gold. And it takes a *lot* of XP to level, but all you get out of it is 3 skill points. Theres a mini-map in the corner (thank god), and apparently a larger world map that has places of interest marked. I still like making notations on maps - guess it comes from my graph paper and pencil days. Still, the minimap is nice - no graph paper needed. Once you get yourself equipped, you can head off to the catacombs and continue the plot, which revolves around a giant demon somehow being released and taunting the party when you leave the inn. Of course you are told by someone that your party has a great fate, which is, of course, to try and stop the demon.Theres also sidequests. I'm currently doing a fetch quest at level 2. Level 2 seems to be a bit easier, not so many one hit knockouts. If this game progresses like most of the 80s games, you should get strong enough that the grinding isn't as required once you're out of the early game, but its still annoying and not a good start to the game.The UI has some weirdness. Like most games of this style theres a bunch of quick icons on the HUD (char sheet, rest, system etc). I find it odd however, that in order to cast a spell you must go to the spellcaster's char sheet, then hit enter, then select the spell, but theres a quickbar icon for the tutorial. Which is a player going to use more? The tutorial, or the spellbook? But yet theres no quickbar "cast spell" icon? Also, to pick a locked door, you must bump into the door, which flashes "locked" on the screen. Then you must select the "unlock" icon. If you fail the picking, instead of just hitting unlock again, you have to bump into the door, get the "locked" message, then hit "u" or click the "unlock" icon all over again. For some unknown reason, when you fail picking a lock, it makes the same sound as the noise of someone going unconcious in combat. Which sounds like a punch\/swing, and then a thud like someone getting hit and dropping to the ground. When you fail to pick a lock. Why? The first time I heard it, I thought there was a trap that went off. But no, thats just the noise it makes. The sound of succeeding to pick a lock is what youd expect, a metallic tumbler shifting and *click*. So why the weird fail sound?Speaking of sounds, they are minimal at best. Theres a nice bird sound when you're in town. However, it plays even in areas that would be considered "inside". The rest is just the typical grunts, clangs, swoosh, growls and so on that are standard in RPGs. Nothing like that cool weird chant the brigands made in Wizardry 6. Overall, Underworld is just OK. If you're a fan of the genre, its worth picking up ON SALE. But I hope you like grinding.. If you have fond memories of old RPGs such as Wizardry, Might and Might 1, or Bard's Tale, this may be the game for you. I bought and finished this game within the past week with the 20 hours played that you see here and it brought back some great memories of playing those old games. The game plays the most like the original Might and Magic and Bard's Tale 1. You create a party of 6 adventurers and you need to go back to an Inn to rest and also visit a Trainer to level up. It does have a reasonable automap feature that automatically annotates important locations for you.Like many of the old rpgs, the first few levels are the toughest and if you understand the game system and know how to use your abilities and spells it gets easier as the game goes on. I thoroughly enjoyed this game but my only warning is this game may not make as much sense to people who did not grow up playing games like Bard's Tale and Might and Magic in the 80's.
