UnderRail is a post-apocalyptic RPG game with turn-based combat, set in a world of tunnels and stations. You will create a character, explore the environment and uncover secrets as you progress. You will battle enemies using action points, use stealthy play and item crafting to your advantage. There are also psionic abilities that add an extra cyberpunk edge to the game.


What we like:
  • Perk-and-skill based character creation scheme
  • Action point governed combat system
  • Intuitive approach to stealthy play
  • Experience system that rewards exploration and thoroughness over combat prowess
  • Item crafting with meaningful stat choices
  • Psionic abilities for added depth
What could be improved:
  • Flat writing lacks creative spark of older games
  • Overly vague quest journal
  • No world or local map present

  • End game achievements accessible to any character class
  • Huge open world with good animations and decent voice acting
  • Wonderful homage to Sierra On-Line games and perfect for fans of the point & click genre
What could be improved:
  • Frustrating design issues
  • Occasional offensive humor
  • Some puzzles require arbitrary actions to be triggered
  • Combat system is repetitive and lackluster with simple mechanics
