TL;DR: It's not playable yet. Go play Torchlight or something. Long Story: Of Audio: The sound work is horrible, i can still hear the static tap-tap of my footsteps. Some of the in-game narratives were goodish, but in general, they were in bad quality, and the poor acting made them seem a bit silly for such a 'hardcore' game. The game has no hit sounds/effects of any sort for the player, for example the enemy arrows just dissapper into you, which makes it really hard to tell if you are hit or not (in cae of you are shot from afar). Of Graphics: The map looks nice, and the models are decent. Everything else? Complete utter poopoo. The splash at the start has worse quality than youtube videos from 2005. The intro video (which the game wants to show you every time you start the game) is ... hilarious? I can't honestly do nothing but laugh at it. And the game tries to sell itself as 'hardcore'. Well, you can't really be hardcore without the right atmosphere, which the horrible voice acti...

About This Game
- Atmosphere – Leaning on the visuals and the story, “Sunken” is heavy on immersion. Stomping the content as quickly as possible isn't the goal – survival is. “Sunken” is set in an eerie dungeon out of this world and we want that atmosphere to sink into your bones.
- Crafting – Crafting is an important part of “Sunken”, and it is done exclusively in the ‘crafting room’ found on every level of the dungeon. To be able to craft anything, though, you will need to find recipes for the items or the abilities that you want to craft (yes, the abilities are not gained through leveling, but by crafting!).
- Randomization – The monsters and the loot are random in this game. Whether you’ll get a weak sword or a great armor, whether you’ll run into a few zombies or an elite Impaler with Tormentors following in his wake, is left to chance, the chance you will have to take in “Sunken”.
- Narrative –There are many lore books lying around in each level of the dungeon. The narrative is not spoon-fed, and you will have to figure out some things on your own. It contains mature themes.
- Permadeath – Roguelike! Since the beginning of the project, we wanted “Sunken” to be hardcore. When you die, you lose your levels and equipment; however, the skills you have unlocked stay that way. Go big or go home!
- Competition – You will fight – until you die. Compete with other players by checking the Steam-integrated leaderboards. Go get them, tigers.

Bought the game with prospect of refunding it, gonna keep it tho! What i like about it: -Diablo style gameplay. -Hardcore only! Im used to HC in Path of Exile so that is almost required to keep me interested. -I get to keep my skills upon dying, so no repetitive early game. -UI looks clean, Level design and Skill animations look good. -Hitting stuff has weight and impact to it . -Mouse movement, no WASD. What could be improved from my 2 hour experience with it: -Skill animations from melee hits take too long, so it's hard to dodge projectiles. -Gameplay could be a bit faster. -Can't bind LMB manually to something different than basic attack. -Volume sliders randomly went to zero multiple times, probably on alt-tabbing. When it doesn't happen, sound plays while tabbed out. -Character moves while navigating in menus. -Dodging stuff actively is always nice and i didn't see a dash ability. I hope the "Charge" one works for that, couldn't test it tho. -5 skill slots are be a bit too l...
For an early access title built by two developers, there is pretty solid game play here. While level layout is static, the amount of enemies and their type (i.e. champion, elite etc.) is random, making each playthrough of a level unique. Perma death system keeps you on your toes adding a nice bit of tension to your adventures ever so deeper into the dungeon. All learned skills carry over on death, howerver any crafting recipe you have will be lost. The devs are very active and friendly as well as the community thus far. There are a few things in need of tweaking as others have posted, relating to ambient sounds and music etc. but overall the game is stable and in very playable condition as it stands and will only improve from here in my opinion.
This game is truly abandoned. Go to the official site for this game and you'll get a 404 error. I can't find their Facebook page. Don't buy this game. Haven't played far enough to figure out if this game still has major flaws. It was also weird that this game was in Early Access late last year and but upgraded without any kind of an announcement (even on their Facebook page) around January of this year.
Only game i've been called worthless trash by a mob and then floated on a river of poo with a giant bug lol. Im not good at writing reviews but here goes nothing. This is a very fantastic game if your into grinding some levels to gear up to take on the big bosses at the end of each level. Reminds me a lot of playing Titans Quest on hardcore. I will say its not as in depth as TQ but it does a great job of keeping you entertained and always on the edge of your seat. Also you have to be a fan of RNG, as the skills and loot are based off it. Each skill seems to go to level 5, so you have to find the scrolls and craft them in order to level up your skills. BTW this is made by 2 people and I will say they are VERY involved with the community on the forums and doing a great job in putting this together. Its well worth it and I can't wait to see it as a finished product.
I just bought the game and i want to say thanks to devs for linux. I only start to play and i think the game is seems to be great. I will update my review later If you have nonEnglish locale, you have to specify LC_ALL=C %command% in game settings Dear devs, thank you for Linux, please add Russian.
They've abandoned the game. Do NOT purchase!
Looks likes the game was abandoned. Developers who abandon their games give EA a bad name. Can't recommend until there are updates. At least let us know you are dead, "Hit the Crow"
A very straightfoward dungeon crawling RPG. I do like the crafting mechanics and having to make your way to a room on each floor in order to craft. There is nothing ground breaking here but the game is in a very good state for being early access. It will keep you entertained and well, that is what we are paying for.
