The game is set in a distant future, when the life on the Earth’s surface has long since been made impossible and the remnants of humanity now dwell in the Underrail, a vast system of metro station-states that, it seems, are the last bastions of a fading race.
The player takes control of one of the denizens of such a station-state whose life is about to become all that much more interesting and dangerous, as our protagonist is caught midst the conflicting factions of the Underrail as the violently struggle to survive in the harsh underground environment.

A game made by a developer that goes out of his way to prevent people from having fun with his game.
I purchased this at release back in 2015 and put it down due to some pretty unpleasant game design choices hoping it would be better balanced with more development, a decade later I finally decided to give it a proper go and I really wish It had.
Instead the developer has actively been patching the game to prevent modding, or altering the game in any way shape or form.
Old school games were not like this, not at all.
Underrail is one of the few games where I can be made fun of for being gay because my friends think I'm playing Undertale, but unlike Undertale this game lets you get addicted to LSD and melt someones brain with cool psychic powers.
"It's Fallout 1/2 with Metro 2033 themes."
This is absolutely worth your time if you can accept the hand-drawn sprites (instead of 3D) and some quality-of-life limitations with quests, inventory, and fast-travel. (And they're no worse than Fallout 1/2 were.)
This is almost a one-man project and the amount of content in here is fantastic - on par with MGS:V and AssCreed:Oddysey.
The worldbuilding is great.
The combat is good.
The inventory management is... not great. It could definitely do with things like "sort by weight". At least it's hard to accidentally lose a quest-only item.
The quest management is inadequate by modern standards. You will repeatedly say "WTF am I supposed to do now?" You will need to read the wiki or pay close attention to one-time quest-giver dialogue, because the quest screen won't always give explicit directions. It is *very* easy to find the quest item in a locker and not realize it, because the quest screen doesn't update with "you've got X, now take it back to NPC Y". It only has "todo: X for NPC Y" and "done: you got X for NPC Y".
(It has an excellent wiki, which is enough to get you out of most jams.)
The auto-map is a big help except in big cities. SGS has per-floor maps, but Core City and University don't.
You cannot fast-travel to or from arbitrary places (a la Morrowind COC command), instead you must walk to a fast-travel point (e.g. a station) and then travel to another point on the same travel network. Combined with the poor quest stages, this can make backtracking frustrating, but it's not a show-stopper (a la Morrowind without console commands).
There are a couple of quests where you can lock yourself into an undesirable questline without realizing it. In particular, negotiating a moderate solution to the Train Heist locks you into the police genocide path for police-vs-slaves.
Oh, also, anything that improves your movement speed (tabi boots, faster DLC jetski) is worth having just for faster backtracking / non-fast travel. You can also improve effective speed by changing run time (Ctrl+MouseUp) and zooming out (Shift+MouseDown, disabled in options menu by default).
I avoided buying this game for a long time because I expected to bounce off the old-style graphics. After a couple of hours I didn't notice that at all.
I think Encased has better graphics, and Atom RPG / Trudograd has better Slav bleakness, but UnderRail is better at most everything else. Play all three!

PS: you can become a Cave Jedi about five minutes into the game (or anytime after that) by taking a magic pill. I never actually tried this. There are a couple of enemies that can only be hurt by Jedi, but you can run/sneak around them with a little save-scumming. I feel like the "be a Cave Jedi?" option would have worked better either during character creation, or (as in KOTOR) teased until the end of Act I (when you clear the rail lines with the Junkyard MacGuffin).
Also initial game start is a little slow, but quickload is very fast, which is a good trade-off.
Hard game but really cool. Great RPG similar to Fallout 1 and 2 but a little more user friendly imo. Classic and doesn't hold your hand, like older games like Morrowind you might only get told some directions once and they don't get written down in your quest log so you have to remember it or write it down. Takes a while for the story and lore of the area to get revealed but I enjoy it a lot with a Throwing/Crafting/Stealth Character. I hope to someday play through a second time as a melee armoured character with a hammer and magic (Psychic powers)
Wrote this with just under 90 hours on the clock. Restarted a few times in the early stages of the game, but am ultimately over it after reaching level 18 and spending most of the time exploring.
Still don't feel like I've made much progress, despite this, given the expansive scope of the game.
Unless you're a die-hard Fallout 1/2 fan, it really isn't worth getting into.

Cons
-----
Meta save scumming simulator. You will likely spend 60% of the game save scumming.
The game is an unforgiving time sink.
Power build or die. Either spend a bunch of time deciding which build to use specifically beforehand by looking up existing builds online, or don't play at all.
Misplaced a skill point or perk? Too bad. Reload or start an entirely new game.
You can look forward to investing an hour into damn near every battle - save scumming like you have nothing better to play.
You'll be micro managing every little thing with no backup or party mechanics whatsoever. The fact that you are sent out to deal with absolutely everything on your own is utter, laughable bollocks.
You'll be spamming a lot of grenades (and save scumming when you miss).
Unless your build allows you to put points into the Throwing skill, you'll be lobbing them 20 meters in the damn-near opposite direction as if you have cerebral palsy.
The inventory system is a pain in the ass.
Managing item weight is a massive hindrance. Given the scope of the areas to traverse, and lack of meaningful fast travel aside from boats, you'll be spending half of the game encumbered while you ferry loot around.
Most of the loot you'll find is garbage that you won't be able to use unless your build makes use of the crafting skills.
The traders are anal-retentive with regards to what they will or will not purchase from you, and how many of those desired items you can actually sell. It renders most of that loot-ferrying and hoarding as meaningless. I understand the need to limit the player's purchasing power so as to keep economy relevant, but you don't have a lot of good purchase options anyway.
Unless you've played before and know where everything is and exactly what you're doing, or you're following a walkthrough (lame), you'll have to spend probably 100+ hours to get anywhere meaningful in the game.
The old-school isometric style of the game, as nostalgic as it is, can make navigation and clicking on things a hassle unless you're holding tab like 60% of the time.
You can't speed up the game while even lightly encumbered. Gotta keep the player moving at a snails' pace to boost them play time numbers.
The initiative system is stupid. If you are in stealth mode, and attack an enemy despite not having been spotted at all on approach, there's every likelihood that your attack is nixed and they get their turns first (more opportunities for save scumming, yay!). You can't use burst/automatic gunfire from out of stealth, either.
The quests are boring.
The game is, ultimately, boring.

Pros
-----
Extensive campaign
Lots of hand-placed detail
The dialogue is decent
In-depth item crafting system
Lots of items
Lots of build options
Somewhat modernized old-school isometric style
Underrail is a fantastic, old-school RPG that truly nails the classic isometric design and tactical combat. The world is gritty, filled with lore, and the choices you make have real consequences. The depth of character customization is impressive, and the gameplay can be incredibly rewarding if you enjoy a challenge. It’s a game for those who appreciate a slower, more thoughtful approach to RPGs.
Rating: 9/10
A must-play for fans of deep, tactical RPGs!
One of the most lengthy and in-depth RPGS ive ever played, i still haven't beaten the game and i'm 200 hours in (only the expansion)
It's a fun RPG. you have plenty of options as far as difficulty goes. Even on it's easiest setting the game can still put you through the ringer. It's RPG mechanics, character options, are fun! Play a Psionic swordsman, a Heavy Armor Minigun user, a tech specialist with a gernade launcher! best of all it has a "Export Character Feature" so if you want to play through to see were the branching story path goes in a different direction, you don't have to start from level one again. Or if your character is simply too under leveled, and can't advance, export, start over, come back stronger. Old school as these kind of things get, be careful before spending your skill points, feats, and such. Have an idea of what you want to excel in as there are no refunds when you select skills, feats, etc. Anyway I like this game and recommend the base game and all of it's DLC for the maximum story and options.
Early game can be a little whacky, and the end can be a real slap to the face with difficulty, but this game offers a good, honest challenge with many cool places to explore, many different weapons and play styles. The DLCs are absolutely worth getting as well as they add even more goodness to an already great game. If you like old school, isometric, clunky RPGs then this one is absolutely worth giving a shot. However, one tip from an experienced player: Consider your options when starting a new game, pay attention to what skills you want and what play style you want to play, once you level up and commit those skill points theres no going back, and you have a very finite amount of level ups to work with (level cap is... 50 for the base game, 55 or 60 with the DLCs if i remember right).
Most of the video resolution options are not actually supported. In other words critical UI and dialogue options are not visible making the game unplayable unless you run the default 1024 x 768 windowed mode.
Top tier RPG. I expected just a barebone tactics game with some RPG mechanics, like leveling up and stat progression, but this is actually a full RPG and a great one at that. The writing is top notch and I am having a blast 60 hours in. Completely consumed the end of my winter break.
Deep and thoughtful romp through the underbelly of a dystopian hellscape offering hundreds of hours of fun.
game is 98% perfect 1% unfun mechanics in an otherwise fun dlc 1% sleeper agent npcs that will shotgun blast me point blank to shoot an enemy while shooting me a big thumbs up that we're still allies (if i do the inverse i die)
A small disclaimer, my current game time amounts to 87 hours on GOG version, but honestly, it feels like way more. I have completed the main story and Expedition, while Heavy Duty is saved for another time, partly because I was really invested in the main story and wanted to see the ending.
So, I can't help but sing praises to this game as it is a marvel and a breath of fresh air. Narratively, it is amazing. It presents a very interesting world and likable characters while at the same time never drowning in pointless text. It all feels very real and believable, like in a sense, it is something you can picture and somethig you can enjoy without any dissoance. No ass pulls, no characters staying stupid crap or wasting air while patronizing the player. The writing is light, very smooth and a complete joy to read. It doesn't waste time and has no pointless dialogue. When I jumped into it I was completely hooked on and kept playing for days. It is one of those games where it is fun to read item descriptions and computer messages. They story these bits of lore build syncs beautifully.
I also HAVE to mention the atmosphere, as it is probably the most atmospheric game I've played in a long time. There were precise moments when background music, dialogue and visuals all created an amazing episodes when you can just see your character in this world, plotting and doing things. Mine was when I was talking with Blaine about Junkyard . The music is just done right and hits amazingly well in certain moments. There is just so much soul here. I can't praise Stygs enough for this, even though the ending is very anticlimatic and raises more questions than it gives you answers .
Combat system is pretty straight forward and quick to get a hang of, despite initially looking complicated. A build is really recommended for a better experience. There is some space to wiggle, but it is best to know what you are getting. You'll have to choose your combat playstyle and won't be able to effectively use every weapon.
It has some replayability value for some, but be advised, you can sink days here.
Very addictive game if you were into Fallout 1/2 and Jagged Alliance 1/2. Story is okay but nothing special.
This game is insanely good, but insanely difficult. Like many other old school crpgs this game has a fantastic story and combat that seems simple but is quite complex requiring a lot a strategy. Charging into things is a good way to get frustrated. Most of this game you can't win in a straight up fight. You need to fight dirty and don't be afraid to save scum. Also this game can be incredibly punishing to poor character building. My first go through my character couldn't get past the first difficult section and I had to restart. If you don't enjoy difficult games that border on completely unfair at times this might not be for you. However, if you can push through the initial difficulty and learn the games mechanics you'll get to experience one of best RPGs I've ever played. Also the 1st DLC is more of a expansion that adds A LOT of really fun stuff and a engaging story that left me thinking about what I actually did for long time after playing. The second DLC is also really good but not as in depth but adds a MINI GUN and GRENADE LAUNCHERS so I take that as a massive win.
Amazing CRPG. Only complaint/warning is that it is quite difficult to grasp what makes a good build early on (especially since almost every build feels bad/struggles until around lvl 5). Combining this with the fact that you cannot re-spec your character means that you can end up getting softlocked/filtered and need to completely re-start your run because some fights are just nearly impossible if your build is bad.
Probably the best and most underrated game youre sleeping on. Just buy it and let yourself sink in for hundreds of hours into this masterpiece.
All the negative reviews are skill issues
I was aware of this game for a while, but I was constantly avoiding playing it, being a bit overwhelmed by the complexity and such. And I must say, I was wrong- this game is a masterpiece. True, I get to play it many years after its original release but trust me, that you don't wanna skip on this game, if you are fan of RPGs. What was pulled here is rarely seen these days and love and passion of its creators is palpable every step of the way. Both gameplay and storywise I had an amazing ride and would add this gem to my top 10 RPGs of all time.
Awesome atmosfere, music, sound design and art.
This is a very, very good game. While the reputation for being difficult is well deserved, the official forums have endless builds for all difficulties that can make it trivial to dive into the game and play how you want. Even more so if you opt to play a psi build.
Fortunately, the developer is a raging transphobic racist who's discord is widely know as a cesspit on the unofficial subreddit. I'm talking real nazi bro.
Get it for your friends and family if you like games that mimic FO1/2 gameplay styles. Otherwise give it a pass.
Underrail is a role playing experience for people who don't like having any fun, who don't like to be rewarded for difficult challenges and for people who think "loosing is fun"
Not for the feint of heart but clearly tons of depth here. Read a guide maybe before building your character cos you can definitely do it wrong. This is a complex game with loads of depth and systems but well worth a go if you can spare the time and effort
Absolutely fantastic. Truly as advertised - a high-quality old-school TRPG. Very immersive. Great innovations, while sticking to the genre. Highly recommended!
Though there are some graphical annoyances, and zero controller support, it's an interesting game. It gives fallout 1 vibes, and I like the exploration aspect a lot. I have very much enjoyed getting lost in the subway station, and taking out higher level enemies with nothing but a serrated knife, then running all my loot back to base with fingers crossed that I don't run into anymore gang members along the way. This game does not hold your hand, there are no quest markers. You have to figure it out, or not. Much better than games that hold your hand every step of the way.
I wish this game existed in forms beside a cRPG so that everyone can enjoy the insanely detailed and amazing world this game has to offer. I think it is worth putting up with the bullshit this game throws at you or if you just flat out don't enjoy the gameplay just for the world, it is that good.

Get it on a steep discount if you like games that mimic FO1/2 gameplay styles. Otherwise give it a pass. Scum like the developers don't deserve your money.
Very good. Cool world and lore, interesting builds, etc. I only wish for the story to be less linear.
Incredibly difficult, immersive, little slow at times, but very frickin fun.
I do recommend you start on the easiest difficulty. Don't do Jack of all trade builds, and be prepared to die and or save-scum every so often
A wizard sold me shisha @ a metro station and i woke up talking to a lizard
Lots of options for fun builds, and different ways in which you can play.
If you're here for the story, I didn't have much interest in it so far, but the lore is OK and the builds..oh man, yeah, best part.
It plays a bit like the early fallouts, though in a slightly more modern sense, yet more 'complicated' at the same time.
It doesn't hold your hand, the difficulty is fairly high even on the normal mode (for my build, anyhow), and not paying attention to the mechanics can lock you out or kill you easily.
I rate this game 7/10,
Playing a psy/assassin. Kills fast and/or dies fast. It's most fun for me personally, even though I'm aware it's not a 'Chad' build.
I have beat fallout, I have beat fallout 2, and this game is something special. The stories, the atmosphere. All of it, comes to make a memorable world, oh and the music, man the music is a banger, I swear I have heard it in random youtube videos and the sound effects of some enemies like the rathounds I have heard a million times especially in mods of games like in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Anomaly. The build diversity is insane. I was the fastest fist the world has ever seen, you were getting punch one thousand times and when you think you're about to swing back on me you see me take a syringe in the arm and now I got 10 more punches in me bud and now I am putting on the steel boxing glove with a taser attached to it.
It says here on Steam that I've been playing for 13 hours, but I migrated my save files from GOG, so in reality I've played 43-44 hours so far (first playthrough).
And I can say with confidence that this game dominates.
UnderRail is not perfect, there's quite a few game design flaws and mechanics balancing issues (more blatant at first), but still, amazing game with TONS of content, it's incredible. Even more so when you know the game has been dev'd by a core team of 3 people...
Highly recommended if you like iso-CRPGs, stellar (funny) writing, hardcore mechanics, games with a lot (and I mean a LOT) of content, rich lore and cyberpunk/post-apocalyptic settings.
It's derailed, son.
its cool. simple, fun, nice atmosphere.
Everything in this game is bad.
1. Bad level design, It is difficult to understand where to go and where location located. Sometimes road goes to nowhere or dead ends.
2. You do not have weapons and abilities from the very start.
3. Whenever you level up there is limitation how much points you can allocate to each skill.
4. You know, in real life ammos for weapon cost not much, and in game it is insane.
5. I do not like enemies and things to steal that respawns.
6. Where is quests and missions?
P.S. This game is not worth money I paid for it. I do not know why there is so many positive rewiews. Another unfinished product.
The game is quite difficult in the biginning but once you start to understand it more it is a great game
Harsh start if you don't really know what you are doing like me but once you go pass the opening area, this game will pull you in with:
- Immersion
- Massive unique and interconnected world
- Various roleplaying elements/choices with fun skill trees and weapons/armors which could lead to some wacky broken builds(as intended).
- Very good writing
If you are a fan of RPGs that don't guide your hands and expect you to traverse the world on your own, try this gem.
Incredibly good, one of the coolest RPGs ever made. Hard to believe it came from such a small team.
Great game. This bring me back to the good old times as FO2. I wish more DLC come out to continue this great journey.
The game is incredibly atmospheric and immersive, with a lot of variation in gameplay depending on your build and weapons. However, this can also be a downside—if your build isn't strong, the game can become nearly impossible to complete, forcing you to search online for meta or optimal builds.
The environments are stunning and unique, and you truly feel like your actions and dialogue choices impact the world around you. Even the side quests are engaging and fun, often offering surprising twists and interesting rewards that add to the overall experience.
Frustrating wonderful, if you like difficult CRPGs, then this is a must play.
Underrail is a game that can appeal to players of the classic Fallout 1 and 2. It features a relatively rich underground setting in a post apocalyptic world brought down by the decisions of the mega corporations of their world and I think that can speak to many players in this day and age. Simply put, if you like games like Fallout 1 and 2 and post apocalyptic underground human societies you might want to give Underrail a try. You will likely see many homages and references to other pop culture within.
I have just finished my first full playthrough with it taking me about 79 hours of gametime.
I did not look at any builds before hand and just took the tip of not being jack of all trades for your run as well I went classic XP style in normal.
This game is fucking Dominating. It has so much content that Im excited to do a second playthrough.
Its worth the money.
Highly, highly recommend this one. An all-timer for me! Possibly my favourite turn-based combat system, definitely the best non-party one.
For the price, this game is an absolute steal. And the same goes for the DLC's, both of which I'd recommend getting with the game, just to give yourself as many build options as possible.
It's famous for being punishing and demanding specific builds, but you can always play on a lower difficulty if that kind of long-term planning just isn't for you, and still have a rewarding experience in the exploration of the world. But if that is your thing, the specificity of builds you can get into is extensive and genuinely changes how you'll play the game.
If combat just isn't your interest in CRPG's, then this game is not for you. There is good dialogue and word-building, but this is a game about conflict, and if you're on a higher difficulty, you will spend a lot of your time in it, and most the rest of your time will be spent in inventory and crafting.
I love the look and feel of this game, and can't wait for the next project from the studio.
Fallout 1's younger and more brilliant cousin.
Final rating: One of the best RPG games of all time, 5 rocket-propelled grenades out of 5.
Bastard of a game thats quite fun but it's the equivilent of "gamblers always stop before they hit big". You have to invest a lot of time in this game to get that jackpot. Once you do though it's pretty fun.
Yes this is an amazing game
its actually good but you have to get into it first
Worth the money and more, expansions included.
Spent many a night scared out of my mind, in the dark in the game, and in the dark in real life.
Memorable FUN
:D
