Recommend games that take place in underground environments.
Stuff like Underrail, Arx Fatalis, Sunless Sea, Ultima Underworld.
I need more subterranean exclusive games!

Underrail Infusion is going to be so good.

What's that old indie game set in caves? Narrative Tunnel? Abyss History? Oh right, Undertale.
>>
Honorable mention to Metro 2033 and parts of Last Light but it goes up on the surface too many times to be enjoyable.
>>
>>719540189
Core keeper, dungeon keeper games, war for the overworld, diggles, worms series, dungeons series, legend of grimrock, dwarf fortress, metro to an extent atomic heart, craft the world, deep rock galactic, empires of undergrowth, exanima, lotr return to moria, red faction armageddon, dunno what else. Just listed some of the games i played and had that theme

Lego Rock Raiders.
>>
>>719540642
Barony is decent enough, but I prefer Legends of Grimrock. That's a good one.
As for Empires of Undergrowth, the concept seems cool but it's so bug-centric and too much surface action.

Then again you do find portals to the surface, but those usually lead to alternate realities.

yeah. class based 4 player co-op pve horde shooter with fully destructible procedural generated caves and exploration and mining mechanics. it's had a lot of time for the devs to iron out and expand on everything so it's got a lot of solid content in it now. came out of early access around 2022 I think.
fun even with random public lobbies if you dont have friends who will play it with you.

OP's photo is from Vagrus the Riven Realms btw. Great setting if you like reading and some trading gameplay in a world somewhat similar to the Age of Decadence and Dark Sun.

Depends on what you like. What makes Underrail appealing for many are the sheer amounts of builds available to the player which makes no playthrough the same. There's not much to RP about in Underrail except for the choices you make, as there are factions and such, but the setting and atmosphere also helps the game a lot. All in all, it depends on what you look for in a game. Keep in mind it is quite difficult.

Minecraft into the betweenlands modpack. You start in this underground dimension and have to progress through the modpack to get back to the surface. The mod "betweenlands" is pretty big in itself and has really nice sound design. It has some quirks (Some mobs are really strong but there exists some sword which one shots them, making combat boring but this sword necessary for a dungeon). Pic related is the skybox, everyday when you wake up you hear lots of rumbling and crackling and the skybox actually changes its crack shape. Pretty kino ngl

Heavy duty is cool and adds really fun weapons and a neat extended dungeon to fight for your life in (or stealth thru for lore with a specific build lol) but if you don’t know you’re going to like the game I would hold off on it.
