A truly phenomal expansion on Underrail
Expedition is a wonderful expansion of Underrail that takes the base game and builds on it with a massive new area, an isolated story in that area, and a few new mechanics. Most notably Jetskis and Jetski combat! Jetskis are like little mobile vehicles for watery areas. There are many different types, including some with weapons! The main story of Expedition revolvers around an expedition in a massive underground sea area of Underrail. A researcher is looking to research one of the major corporations that once fought for control of the world; NFT. He hires a mercenary company for security and exploration. You play as a mercenary that goes to help out. This Expedition is not so simple though. There are 3 main threats you need to contend with; Pirates, Natives, and the environment. The pirates will seek to rob/kill you and the expedition. The pirates just just like most underground thugs but more organized. The Natives just want you and the entire expedition dead! They may be limited to primitive weapons, gear, and psi abilities but they have massive numbers and are high level! The Environment has many hazards including awful wildlife that will make you scrounging for every antidote you can possibly get. The first two threats will routinely assault the camp. To complicate matters the expedition camp has limited supplies and cannot be resupplied. Take too long to deal with the threats or the main quest and you might come back to a fallen failed expedition camp! There is less writing in Expedition than Vanilla Underrail, but you'll find it to be better quality and even more believable. The world building further explains the lore of Underrail. There is a bit more of a paranormal vibe going on with Expedition than Vanilla Underrail though so that may be a turn off for some. The Graphics and Music suit the theme Phenomenally well are are an improvement. The music is absolutely bone chilling at times and the graphics convey an exotic feel. Highly recommended.
