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.

One of the best games I have ever played, put simply. It's a crime to look at the price and not buy it for the wealth of content it delivers(Took me 180 hours to complete the main game and Expedition).
The closest comparison in gameplay would be Fallout 1 and 2, but Underrail stands leagues above them in design and gameplay. There is a high level of polish and consideration to how things would work and do work, and learning it is quite enjoyable. You can't cheat the system either, at least nothing I tried worked.
The combat is enjoyable, I like how the system functions.
The setting, story, and worldbuilding are immaculate, in every sense of the word. There is nothing else like it on the market.
In other words, I love this game, a lot, and I will pay TOP DOLLAR for Underrail 2, when it comes out in 3 years.
If you do intend to play, do not use the wiki. DO NOT look up anything about the game aside from a guide on skill point allotment. I would still say to mess up on your own though, when making a character, but that may just be a me thing.
Pros
psychic powers
fucking scorpions
Cons:
Not for the casual gamer. A well-planned build is a must. I got this game when I was going through a "choices-matter" genre phase, and needed something I could run on my tablet. I got more than I bargained for, and LOVED IT. I put it down for a few years after building a nice gaming pc and wanting to spend more time on high quality graphics, but I'm about to replay it because sometimes you just need a challenging game with tons of unique interactions and a highly immerive feel to scratch a certain itch. 10/10 great game. I'd say the only that could be improved is adding modern graphics, but honestly I think it's better the way it is.
Feels like a classic crpg, but obnoxiously and unfairly difficult in some areas. I can recommend it, with a caveat that you are a fan of the genre.
You can soft-lock yourself if you don't have a build in mind from the start and stick to it no matter what.
You will die horribly exploring, because there are ambushes or overpowered enemies you need to defeat without adequate gear or skill and hoping for good RNG.
The game was tedious at first but I learned to absolutely love it after some hours! The map is huge, yet never felt like its filled with fillers, every corner has a story or a surprise, or at least something to do. The leveling system makes sure u never get too OP. The story makes a full use of the game mechanics, never repetitive.
One thing they could improve is adding a way to reassign leveling points, in no way I'm going to replay the past 10 hours to fix my initial fuckup ): u gotta max certain things to do what u want in ur playthrough, and it'll be too late when u finally figure out what u actually need. Other than that, good game.
Pros - Game reminds me of Fallout and old school Shadowrun. Very much one for the nostalgia minded set.
Cons - Very unforgiving gameplay even on normal difficulty. If you haven't played it before my recommendation is to specialize and not spread your stats or skill points too much around. Also, there's no general fast travel, which gets annoying later on in the game.
This game is not for everyone, it's barely for me. On the one hand if you enjoy a Fallout 1-esque isometric dungeon crawler you will probably have fun. However there is a large amount of glaring flaws that if you don't love the game are hard to look past.
The things the game does great:
Ambiance, UI design, Gameplay, Mechanics. These are the some of the most important aspects of any game so it's a huge green flag to do these things well. This combination comes together to create a unique charm that perfectly captures what I am interested in doing in this genre of game.
Things the game does poorly:
Writing often falls flat, no mod accessibility, illusion of choice, terrible character creation experience, overly punishing for new players, TERRIBLE ending sequence.
Firstly, there is no respec option so if you would like to change what your character does through the 50 plus our gameplay experience you are out of luck. If you've taken a feat and realise it isn't what you hoped it would be you are also out of luck. One of the features that I feel does not help with this is that they put character creation before the tutorial so there is no way to figure out what things are/do before you commit to a character. Secondly, it feels as if you have very limited options for solving problems the majority of the time. You can hardly ever persuade/intimidate your way out of things (or into things) and too often the solution is killing everything. This game also does not support mods which is a little discouraging because most of my complaints wouldn't exist if it did. Finally, the ending sequence (I'm keeping this bit vague to avoid spoilers) is the worst gameplay experience I have ever had. It is unequivocally the least player friendly, least interesting, least inspired, and least fun thing I have ever put myself through. While increasing the difficulty towards the end of the game is a good idea for most games UnderRail takes it five steps too far. It feels as though the game doesn't become more difficult just incredibly more grueling.
I can not in good conscience give this game a positive review because it is far too subjective and niche to review objectively. All of that to say, if you like isometric rpg's you might like this one but I wouldn't blame you if you didn't.
I REALLY tried to like this game, but after bouncing back from it multiple times, I finally decided to just give up.
Underrail is a very hard RPG, there is no denying it - the difficulty is unforgiving, but not in a way that is ‘fair’. You can softlock yourself in this game by ‘leveling up wrong’ and encountering obstacles that your character won’t be able to overcome.
People online will call it a skill issue, I say - BS. If your game can’t be played without a build guide, then perhaps there is something wrong with it. ESPECIALLY when people on forums report that newer patches make it even harder, even less friendly to new players, breaks mods etc.
I am a RPG fan, from text adventures, to modern titles; from Planescape Torment to Baldur’s Gate 3, but nine frustrated me to such a degree.
Bad game. Get something else instead.
I couldn't get into this game. 3 hours of gameplay and I never found the hook. The music is also too repetitive and starts being both depressing and frustrating. The UI also gets between the player and the game rather than helping with immersion.
I am likely not the target audience for this game and will return to my factory games and simulators and stop taking recommendations from Youtubers.
Absolute post-apo kino. Can't believe I ignored it for years because I thought having an entire game exclusively underground sounds stupid and boring. Feels like a mix of mostly Fallout and a bit of Shadowrun and Jagged Alliance, but with enough of its own thing to become cult. It's hard, get ready for some minmaxing build autism. Otherwise don't cry if you get filtered. It's well worth the effort. The side quests are better than main quest in most games. 10/10 soundtrack.
Unless you are helplessly desperate for a janky, uninspired rehash of Fallout 1 & 2 there's no reason to waste your time with this one.
Another "game" which requires you to consider playing it a day job. Unfortunately, I already have a day job. Also, miles from actual F1/F2 vibes; it's more of a character build min-max simulator with some "story" thrown on top.
The best video game ever made! All the systems work together UI is very usable [Not overly complex garbage like CDDA] the writing is amazing. The difficulty is harsh but fair, even bad builds can make it very far with enough knowledge of the games systems. Most video games are a waste of time, but Underrail is a work of art, very excited to see what it's sequel brings to the table.
pain to play and did not enjoyed. i tried to like it but feels too old for the sake of feeling old
I love this game, but man, will it test your patience. My advice: save often; F5 is your friend and read all the info about leveling up and feats. Stick to one type of theme for your character build, and you should have a semi-smooth ride. Don't touch the difficulty unless you are masochistic. Oddity XP is cool as it forces you to push deeper into the map for rarer oddities to level up. Classic XP is what it says on the tin you get XP for killing enemies and completing quests they are both fine options it is all a matter of preference. I've got over 300 hours and I'm still playing it need I say more?
good game. needs lots of gaming experience or heavy use of youtube/wikis/etc..
the more you learn, probably this game becomes more addictive.
This is truly a gem of a game, but like all gems you gotta get through a lot of dirt to see it. Simply put this is a old-school crpg with tough as nails difficulty, and a depth that's impressive considering the resources and manpower this game had available to its development. This game does not mess around if you have a misplaced ability point or lack the skill to do something you will FEEL it. It makes build crafting in this game very hard and is the biggest barrier to entry. My advice would be NOT to use pre-mades from veterans and instead follow a guide that explains what different skills and feats do, you'll have much more fun experimenting and learning on your own rather using someone else's character.
Even with my research I still messed up in some areas with my first character. What this games really good at doing is making sure you're never truly out of options to progress even when it seems desperate, and what get you out of this game if you can get past the dirt is a crpg that values the players ingenuity and engrosses you in one of the best post apocalyptic rpgs available that isn't your favorite flavor of Fallout.
Have a good day Reader!-Super
Didn't play a meta build, you lose simulator.
No fun allowed
If you are an original Fallout 1&2 fan, this is a no-brainer. If you can get use to the art-style, oh boy you are in for a treat.
Very good story telling and world building.
Exploration aspect is simply amazing.
Very very challenging.
Gameplay loop is fun and addictive like Fallout.
Buy and support the developer.
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.
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.
Unfortunately, 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 shit.
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
