Rogue-Lite Undermine Headed To Switch February 11th
/ Stephen CraneDeveloper Thorium will be releasing their rogue-lite Undermine on the Nintendo Switch on February 11th. The game released on PC and Xbox Gamepass in the summer of last year, and I enjoyed it quite a bit - we’ll be discussing the Switch port on Episode 177 of our podcast.
Delve deep into the UnderMine and discover its secrets, one peasant at a time! UnderMine is an action-adventure roguelike that blends combat and dungeon crawling with rpg-like progression. Mine gold, die, upgrade yourself, and try again! Discover hundreds of items including relics, potions, blessings, and curses that all combo and stack for a new experience every run. Challenge dangerous bosses and rescue helpful characters that provide new upgrades for your adventure. Decipher the cryptic messages of the Undermine’s residents and unfold the mystery at the heart of the dungeon.
