'UnderMine' offers a new obsession for roguelike fans, as they die over and over again to discover its many secrets.
Undermine is a funny word, in that it has a very literal meaning, and a metaphorical meaning that has completely overshadowed the literal one.
I skipped this game at first because the name made me assume it was like Minecraft or Terraria but it’s nothing like that. The mining aspect is very light and it’s as simple as collecting bits of gold for currency here and there.
The games basically a 2D Zelda dungeon generator and I love that. I was already playing some other rouge tiles but this one has quickly moved to top preference now. I didn’t expect to be getting my Zelda dungeon fix from this game but it’s certainly giving me that vibe.
It looks good and plays good. Co-op would be nice to have but I understand the game wasn’t designed with that in mind.
KeenGamer: "UnderMine smashes, blasts, and hurls its way onto the PlayStation scene, bringing with it a nearly endless dungeon crawling, roguelite adventure. So grab your trusty pickaxe, stuff as many bombs as you can fit into your pockets, and get ready to assume the role of a countless series of generic peasants who will soon meet their untimely demise. There is a surprising amount of fun to be had dying over and over in this UnderMine PS4 review."
