Underrail is an old school isometric turn-based RPG set in a distant future, when the life on the Earth’s surface has long since been made impossible and the remnants of humanity now dwell in the Underrail, a vast system of metro station-states that, it seems, are the last bastions of a fading race.
The player takes control of one of the denizens of such a station-state whose life is about to become all that much more interesting and dangerous, as our protagonist is caught midst the conflicting factions of Underrail as they violently struggle to survive in the harsh underground environment.

I'm just gonna say that this is an absolute steal at $6. Steal, as in it's a crime for it to be sold at this price. The reviews you've read basically say it all. It's an homage to good ole CRPG classics. The story is enjoyable and the villain is absolutely crazy. Mechanics are complex enough to be interesting and crafting caught my attention, which I usually find the be the most tedious aspect of games.
Enjoy!!
UnderRail is with almost 240hours my 2nd most played game in galaxy. Finished it beginning this year without DLC and few weeks ago with DLC.
Absolutely fantastic and the most fun I had with any game in the past 3 years I'd say. It always motivates you with deep and fun combat, character progression, atmospheric environments and dialogues.
I'd describe it as combination of System Shock 2, Deus Ex and Fallout. Lots of big iconic names at once, I know. Mentioning System shock because of the environmental storytelling, leveling system (oddity) and Deus Ex because of the and player freedom. Fallout of course for the visual presentation and setting.
One early quest takes you to an abandoned complex which has 3 (or 4?) floors. In one of those you have to retrieve an item from a corpse and robots are patrolling. On my 1st playthrough I managed to retrieve that item without being spotted. On the second playthrough I still opted for a hacking/lockpicking character but no stealth. So I made use of EMP-grenades and brute force.
This kind of level/quest design is prevalent from beginning till end.
Locations are varied and contain some of the creepiest places. Exploring may be very dangerous but also very rewarding. Especially with the (ingenious) odditiy sytem which I highly recommend so you try different approaches.
Play this game, even if you couldn't care less for isometric RPGs (first Fallout, BG, Arcanum etc). UnderRail ain't easy but at least it's not unfair and most importantly it's motivating enough that you wanna keep going, even after a hard battering.
Some negatives:
- Not 100% balanced although no RPG is imo. A lot of builts are viable but after two playthroughs I fear that hacking/lockpicking is just too useful. Crafting skills are very fun and only with those you can get the best gear but it might put you too much on an disadvantage early game. Playing without psionic seems suicidal to me
- Don't like shotguns
Could rave about this game forever. Go get it
A hardcore RPG, with great combat mechanics, amazing exploration possibilities and full of dialogues! If you are a fan of the old school RPGs like Temple of the elemental evil, Baldur's gate and Fallout, this is for you! The combat mechanics in this game is one of the best around!
Pros:
-Wonderfully realised post-apocalyptic atmosphere
-Really good ambient music and sound design
-Combat system allows a large variety of play styles to work
-Interesting and rewarding exploration
-Some characters and dialogue are really well written
-Immense replayability
Cons:
-Steep knowledge curve combined with a lack on in-game documentation means a lot of going to the wiki
-Inconsistent writing
Overall one the best games in recent years, I am 220 hours in and still not bored. Would recommend.
I Got this game with mid expectation and can say that I am happily suprised. Great story and systems. I love the crafting system. And like I said the story of this game is awesome. This is a well put together game that showcases the perfect balence of graphics and story. In short I love this game
