UnderMine

In my opinion, it's kind of basic roguelite, at the beginning of the game, game seems a bit hardish but it's fine, after you will learn how first boss works and keep upgrading permanent upgrades it will get to the point where you can get to like 100k cash (or more) in a ran and then, get every upgrade which is permanent and then the game is easy, i was going just for 100% steam but there are a few challenges which are quite harder because steam achievements are easy in my opinion, just winning 30 times is very time consuming, as you will do this one the game keeps being very repetetive due to the fact that you're always fighting with same 5 boss in the same order, and with each run each boss just gets 25% more hp (not exponentially, lineally, so if first time the boss have 100hp, next time it will have 125, then 150, 175... etc etc) and enemies just 5% more hp (lineally as well), which just makes runs a bit slower, i was trying to ,,speedrun" them and my fastest was like ~35mins but av...

FanFRICKINGtastic. I do love hovering over holes, to lord over the monsters as their Holey Peasant.

It's very much a classic Roguelite. Go in, get gold, die, get upgrades, go back in. The large range of relics, make runs interesting. Never knowing what sort of stuff you'll get next.

Not a strong roguelite. Basic movement is clunky, jumping is slippery. Early levels aren't varied enough to avoid boredom, there's lots of backtracking through empty rooms with no fast travel or even a run button. You aren't rewarded for skillful play and spending your resources (spotting a secret door and using a bomb to open it might net you nothing at all, or even be a trap). There are no meaningful choices - everything is entirely random. Even the relics are a mixed bag, sometimes I get a relic and get zero value out of it in the run. And all the "advancement" is just grinding - 10% better damage, 10% more health, 10% less gold lost on death, etc. Would be improved if players could go down to the next floor anytime after they found the exit (maybe find special bomb instead of stair). Relics should be a choice of one of two random options, and shops should have more or higher quality choices so they matter. Then players could cobble together smaller meaningful choices into somethin...

Wish I could recommend this, but I can't. The art style is great, but actually playing it feels like the game hates me. I play roguelikes, I play on harder difficulties, and enjoy a genuine challenge. This game doesn't feel challenging so much as it feels like it was designed with the intent of trying to stop the player from succeeding. I've never felt that way about other roguelikes/roguelites. Also, big gripe: Why give the player an awful jump instead of a dodge? Just feels really bad.

Solid game with good combat and rogue-like/lite elements.

I had fun playing this, improving my char and going through the regular mine, but once you've done it enough to reliably beat the last boss, all that's left is going through the door to the north. Up there, there's a boss fight you can't accumulate any power for, so it's really hard and I haven't beat it, and then there's the OtherMine where it's just a gauntlet of pain and frustration and wasn't fun.

Undermine is an action roguelite that drops you into caves full of gold, monsters, and traps that clearly hate your guts. You’re fighting, dodging, and upgrading like a one-person treasure-hunting machine, with just a tiny sprinkling of mining mechanics—aka, enough to feel like a miner without ever having to get your hands dirty. The enemies are tricky, the loot is addictive, and somehow even “mining lite” adds to the chaos rather than slowing it down. By the end, you’re not just playing Undermine—you’re laughing at traps, smiling at every tiny nugget you dig up, and loving every absurd second of your underground adventure.

Undermine is a roguelite game with a roguelike option where you are tasked to go deeper and deeper into a dungeon getting gold and killing monsters with your pickaxe. Each floor you may receive a relic to improve your odds against the stronger enemies and puzzles found. While delving there are plenty of secret rooms, blessings, curses, and recipes to find to upgrade or create more, weirder items to stumble upon. The combat and movement is very polished and responsive, with a degree of problem when analysing the angle of things jumping at you. It’s not as precise as you would like to calculate height movement in a top-down game. This game, like all rogues, desperately needs a mechanic of banning certain relics that are nearly useless while still painstakingly taking room for decent ones. Many times you will face frustration when you use a limited resource to find trash items that will significantly reduce your chance to complete a run. Besides that everpresent element in the genre, Un...

Mad fun, it really innovates in the (frankly oversaturated) space of rougelike games. Great game.
