As enjoyable as the dungeon crawling in Undernauts is, it’s the story that it tells that’ll most grab the attention of crawler fans and newcomers alike. An incisive deconstruction of capitalism that’s thoughtful, pointed, yet deliberately blunt in its commentary, unfolding through one of the most unique and intriguing settings you’ll find in a videogame, makes Undernauts: Labyrinth of Yomi one of Experience’s best—and one that deserves attention far beyond the usual DRPG niche.
There’s just not a lot to criticize about Undernauts. Experience has taken their standard formula and improved upon it once again. Exploration is engaging and addicting, there’s tons of customization options for your team, challenging quests and enemies, and a flair for the creepy and disturbing. If you need a solid dungeon RPG, look no further.

Finally... a serious dungeon crawler. The art work is awesome it reminds me of playing Wizardry on the NES & SNES.

Una pequeña joya oculta que ha pasado completamente desapercibido en este 2022. Es un juego completamente de nicho, siendo un RPG - dungeon crawler donde nuestros personajes son creados por nosotros, sin ningún tipo de personalidad, siendo el foco la exploración y los combates.
La historia es contada de manera dispersa, a través de los personajes secundarios que son los que realmente tienen personalidad, y presenta algunos giros interesantes sin ser rompedora.
A pesar de ser un juego difícil (como es normal en el genero), no es de los más difíciles, ofreciendo bastantes soluciones para afrontar las diversas situaciones.
La atmósfera es de lo mejor en el juego, explorando diversos escenarios, pero todos ellos con una continua atmósfera agobiante con tintes paranormales.
Sin ser un juego innovador, es difícil en este genero que los juegos acaben siendo tan redondos.

When we think about this Halloween season and all the horror games that celebrate it, we rarely think about a dungeon crawler. After all, the 'crawler doesn't feature visceral action or jump scares. It's all too turn-based for that. But, of course, horror can be much more than jump scares and visceral action, and Undernauts demonstrates that beautifully. Strong atmosphere, challenging combat and Experience Inc.'s mastery of the genre combine to create something that is nearly impossible to put down.
Undernauts: Labyrinth of Yomi excels at providing you with a DRPG that feels fresh without feeling completely new. The high risk, high reward gameplay is incredibly challenging at first and becomes rewarding once you find your stride. I often found myself wishing the game opened up a lot faster and was smoother to play, but those issues feel small in the grand scheme of it all.
If you find you can’t get into dungeon RPGs, Undernauts probably won’t change your mind. But it is a very good game, one that will likely please the taste buds of most dungeon-delving enthusiasts.
Pros:
- I just defeated the 3rd boss, and I would say this is worth $60 for a dungeon crawler
- The job system simplified for the better, it's very easy to understand.
- I would recommend this to beginners/new to the genre.
Cons:
- It's one of those "what do I do next?" kind of games.
- For me the story is weak, the game wants you do explore things to progress the story.
- The combat feels too easy (I'm probably just used to Stranger of Sword City)

Undernauts is an unglamorous, but competently made, bare-bones blobber that gets the basics right. It's similar to the "NIS America" budget titles like "Stranger in Sword City." There are better games out there though. The Labyrinth of Refrain series are better in every way, and also have a good story and writing. I suggest playing those first.
