CH marello here I follow countless turn
0:04
based project and my wish list is
0:06
practically endless filled with both
0:08
release titles and games still in
0:11
development unfortunately many of these
0:13
never see the light of day Fading Into
0:15
Obscurity but sometimes a project takes
0:18
a lucky turn and you get that trilling
0:20
notification an update or even better a
0:23
playable demo that's exactly what
0:25
happened with dead underworld a survival
0:28
RPG developed by Sol Creator man minina
0:31
a playable demo will drop in a few days
0:34
and from what I've seen this is shaping
0:37
up to be a truly exciting project but
0:41
let's dive into the
0:43
details dead underworld casts you as a
0:46
lone Adventurer exploring a world that
0:49
blends post-apocalyptic teams with
0:52
spirits and esoteric elements in this
0:55
hostile environment you'll scavenge for
0:57
resources gather items and contend with
1:00
various factions while navigating a
1:02
world riddled with danger and
1:05
radiation the demo doesn't reveal much
1:08
about the game's backstory instead
1:10
delivering its lore through interactions
1:13
with factions characters and enemy units
1:16
a storytelling approach typical of Rog
1:18
lights now let's take a closer look at
1:20
the game
1:23
play Imagine Heros of MIT magic fused
1:27
with a Rog light RPG this is the the
1:30
core of De Underworld the game places a
1:33
strong emphasis on exploration drawing
1:35
clear inspiration from the legendary
1:37
strategy series you'll control your
1:39
Adventurer as they carefully manage
1:42
their movement each turn reaching items
1:44
point of interest and enemy encounters
1:47
across pixel art
1:50
Landscapes enemies range in difficulty
1:53
with a color cuted system marking
1:55
threads from Green easier to Red deadly
1:59
right radiation zones will inflict
2:01
damage if crossed and interacting too
2:03
much with Spirit related points of
2:06
interest will raise the overall danger
2:09
level of the
2:11
map another key survival element is the
2:14
motivation bar which fluctuates based on
2:17
events such as encounter rest and
2:20
various environmental
2:22
factors survival in De underworld
2:25
depends on collecting and wisely using
2:27
several Key Resources coins used to
2:30
upgrade character STS Alloys and
2:33
Universal material serving as ammunition
2:35
for all ranged weapons supplies consumed
2:39
at the end of each turn to restore HP
2:41
and prepare for the next Journey Soul
2:43
coins used to upgrade party based skills
2:47
once movement points are depleted you'll
2:49
need to set up comp ending the turn in
2:52
this phase you can choose between
2:53
boosting your recovery at the cost of
2:56
motivation or taking a simple
2:58
restorative knp to gain motivation
3:01
instead stealth plays a crucial role in
3:04
Exploration sometimes it's better to
3:07
sneak past threats rather than risk
3:10
combat you can also use stealth to set
3:12
up an ambush and take advantage of
3:14
special perks however be wary of
3:16
environmental hazards crows for example
3:20
can alert enemies drawing them to your
3:23
position at the worst possible moment to
3:26
progress you must reach a portal that
3:28
transports you to the next area the word
3:31
map follows a classic Rog life structure
3:33
with branching Puffs and nodes that can
3:36
belong to specific
3:38
factions one of a game standout elements
3:42
is character design and progression
3:44
while you can embark on your journey
3:46
alone you'll also have the opportunity
3:48
to recruit Seekers Companions and count
3:52
during exploration having an additional
3:54
party member with a maximum of one

collection battles in dead underworld
5:11
take place in a turn-based format with
5:13
engagements occurring across three
5:16
combat ranges long range mid-range and
