UnderMine

[h1][b]Undermine[/b][/h1] [h3][b]Time Played:[/b][/h3] 3.3 Hours Before Idling for the Cards. [h3][b]Last Played:[/b][/h3] 9th of January, 2026 [hr][/hr] The wait for Terraria 1.4.5 continues, in the form of this, which I'd been meaning to delve into for some time. The hope? That unlike Slay the Spire, Roundguard, Dead Cells, or Enter the Gungeon, this would actually be enjoyed. [h3][b]Yay:[/b][/h3] + Bestiary... + ...with flavour text, and sometimes stories. + Info Journal. + Secret Rooms + Permanent items that endure between runs of multiple types. + Not only do items actually feel like they do something to me, in this... + ...I found some of their effects to be quite fun. [h3][b]Meh:[/b][/h3] ~ Sound Mixing is not the greatest, as the music is quieter than the sounds, to the point it was almost-inaudible to my undamaged ears, even at 100 in the sound options. [h3][b]Nay:[/b][/h3] - Once you defeat the first mini-boss, they continually add new enemies to the first area, making it near-impossible to build up and have a fighting chance on even reaching the first boss. - Some attacks seem impossible to dodge, due to how slow you move. Even if you've the reflexes to react, character action feels delayed. - Only one item I found in my 10 runs increased that speed, and only when not in combat, where it's almost-useless. - Most of the items I found, even though they actually altered the character, or an aspect of them in some fashion, were not worth picking up. I know the Binding of Isaac has some useless items, but most of the ones unlocked from the start don't try to reinvent the wheel, rather augment you to have more of a chance. - Throwing your axe is very hard to aim, and if you want precision, you need to lock yourself in place to do so, leaving you open. - It also does significantly less damage than swinging, meaning closing the distance to strike normally is the way more effective option, making me wonder why they bothered to include throwing in the first place. - Way too high, and frequent health depletion. I needed several permanent upgrades to even get to floor 4, and even then, it was not even slightly consistent. - Your character's sprite is not masked, meaning the moment literally anything touches any part, you take damage. - This leads to many completely-cheap instances of HP loss that don't even slightly feel like the player's fault. Mines? No hint they're present until you walk over them, and they detonate 0.5 seconds later, sometimes in a room full of enemies. Accidentally had a single bit of you touch the edge of a pit? Fell in and took 20 HP. RNG threw a fireball from an exploding barrel an enemy hit while you were cornered? Damage over time. - Adding onto this is the fact nothing by way of invincibility frames are present, meaning you can have 2/3rds of your health lost in seconds. - Most of those permanent things barely do anything, either. How much health do you get once you upgrade it? 20 more HP....when you start with 200. That 2,000 Gold thing that increases the efficacy of food? Yeah, only by 5 HP, when steaks give you 20. - Gecko Foot item does not seem to do anything, much less what it says as “picking up gold at-distance”. Much like Dead Cells, this seems purpose-engineered to do as little as possible to keep the senselessly-high, unfair difficulty up as much as possible, and ensure you're always mere hits from death, no matter what you have, or do. [hr][/hr] [h3][b]Verdict:[/b][/h3] While I was hoping the recent curse of Roguelikes would be dispelled with this, it's more like a fusion of Dead Cells, and Enter the Gungeon, with some Bloody Trapland mixed in for the worst measure possible. Like Dead Cells, you're seemingly punching brick walls while possessing tissue paper bones that break if you stumble a bit. Enter the Gungeon due to the 6+ sources of damage coming at your from all angles, only with even less player agency in avoiding them. Bloody Trapland? Why reward player observation, and skill, when you can just hide near-instant attacks via proximity mines amidst a room of 3 explosive barrels that launch random fire fields, and 5 enemies that can set said barrels off? Answer: so that it's fair, balance, and rewards player skill, rather than luck. I don't even think I need to tell you where this one went. [h3][b]Placed in:[/b][/h3] 5: Dourly-Dismissed.

Clunky junky movement tbh this feels bad

за отсылку на берсерка +реп

I have played hundreds of hours of Isaac and Gungeon, hundreds of hours in Souls games. This game is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ HARD. I would not recommend this and hope their second game is easier and feels more manageable without god rolls.

Très bon jeux avec une bonne durée de vie, pour le prix c'est presque donnée !

more aggravating and artificially difficult than actually fun. i spent a few dollars on this and want my money back. crippled by stupid design choices deliberately made to inconvenience the player. enter the gungeon is a similar difficult game, but has fun enough gameplay to make it worth playing. i spent a couple dollars to just get frustrated. dont waste your time or money on this nonsense.
