First Person Dungeon Crawlers have a huge fan base on Indie Retro News, so many of us love games such as Dungeon Master, Eye of the Beholder and my personal favorite Ishar. Well here we are with another special announcement especially if you love dungeon crawlers, as Rake in Grass has not only shown off some new footage for the work in progress PC game of Underkeep, but there's also been talking of a demo that is due very soon this month. So if that's the case, I'll make sure to update this article with the demo for you to try.
Here's the latest " Underkeep brings back the spirit of classic dungeon crawlers: grid movement, slow tension and tactical combat. At the same time it plays clean and responsive thanks to modern controls, clear visuals and thoughtful conveniences that remove the old frustrations without losing the heart. Gather your party, venture into hand-built dungeons, speak with peculiar locals, discover hidden passages, solve ancient puzzles and face encounters where planning matters as much as courage."
They go on to say that the game not only features multiple adventurers whose strengths and flaws define how you survive, but there's handmade corridors and rooms filled with lingering spirits, abandoned camps, cryptic symbols and choices that echo deeper than you expect. As well as tactical combat, hidden secrets, an automap, a well designed UI, NPC's to talk to, and so much more. Seriously if you love Dungeon Crawlers make sure to keep an eye out for Underkeep throughout 2026!



I like the Giant monster! I liked it when i first saw it in Black Dawn:Hellbound as well!
ReplyDeletethe old man with the scroll smells like ai generated :(
ReplyDelete100% agree, the art style is all over the place.
DeleteAgree, the out of context wheel of cheese on the table looks extremely fishy.
DeleteHi! This is a producer of the game ;) It is hand-drawn, speed-painting. If you email us, I'll send you sketches. The artists has been working with us for two decades. Check his art (all large images, intro and characters) in Northmark: Hour of the Wolf, released long before AI.
DeleteWhen it comes to games I don't care about AI either way as long as the game is good.. But thank you anon for giving us the update! Having them hand-drawn and speed-painting is extra special. Nice work :) Excited for the demo
DeleteSurely, AI can be ok if used the right way, especially if doesn't scream AI. But I must admit I appreciate it so much more when things done the old-fashioned way. This artist clearly have great skills. Respect!
DeleteWhat platforms are this for?
ReplyDeleteWindows. Later it should be ported to Nintendo Switch.
DeleteThat looks so cool haha
