Its impossible for me to recommend a wizardry style Dungeon RPG at AAA prices that doesn't even have something as very basic as mouse support. Avoid without a very good sale.

For context, I played it on PC for 77 hours including the post-game content which I presumed to be obligatory to complete. I highly recommend to use a gamepad or other controllers instead of K+M controls because support is bad in the ported version. Now, to start with: Undernaut: Labyrinth of Yomi is a first person dungeon crawler at first, then a horror game second. To my surprise, the game managed to correctly set …

This is one of the best dungeon crawlers I've played. There's a reason why this genre is niche: it's because the formula is very dated, and the original concept of the dungeon crawler game was designed around hardware limitations that are no longer present. The reason this game is such a triumph is because it takes all the good parts of a dungeon crawler and fleshes them out, while also throwing the dated parts into …

Like a lot of folks on here, after getting through a chunk of the game, I can recommend Undernauts wholeheartedly ... for fans of the genre. If you're NOT one such (and, let's be honest, very few people are these days - even after Grimrock, grid based DRPGS have very limited appeal in The West), and you're curious about trying it out, this game IS a very accessible example of its kind (with a few simple but well …

Undernauts: Labyrinth of Yomi, originally released as 黄泉ヲ裂ク華 (Yomi Wo Saku Hana), is a turn-based first-person dungeon crawler (DRPG/blobber), but with modern quality-of-life features that make it more forgiving and less wasteful of your time. Mechanically, this is a polished and streamlined DRPG experience that serves well as an introduction to the genre, as well as a more relaxing experience for old-school fans. …

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Anyone a fan of Wizardry, or other first-person dungeon crawlers?. I think I played whichever one was on my Amiga waaaay back in the day, and whichever one was on PS3 for a bit. I was also a big fan of some of the Might and Magic games, which I feel were something of a bridge between the old dungeon crawlers and something like Morrowind. Anyway I was thinking of trying one out again. Any recommendations, maybe one with modern QOL features to ease in? I see there's a remake of Wizardry 1(?)…
neutral · AI labelView post →Will eventually have a full review up elsewhere, but for now, I can't really recommend the PC versions of Undernauts. The port is incredibly bare bones, featuring unexplained graphics options and wonky controller support (no way to reset keybinds, and many of the options are poorly labelled). Keyboard isn't much better when it comes to rebinding, and there's no support for mouse input. I'm also running into an issue where 2D backgrounds flicker in an annoying way, which ends up being an…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →From what I've seen so far the game is pretty enjoyable. I had one game-stopping bug that was fixed pretty fast by the dev team, but otherwise it's an entirely bugfree experience. Since this is a console port, the ideal controls are via a gamepad, though keyboard controls are possible as well. Like most proper dungeon crawlers you can create a party of 6 fully customizable characters, explore a dungeon with more of a horror vibe than fantasy, go around, kill monsters, collect resources to open…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Soft locked the game in the first few hours by exploring too many side areas before doing the main mission and running out of door creation items before gaining the ability to make more. Being punished for exploring in a game like this and having to start over or refund is just comically terrible.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not recommended for the price point.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I feel like I haven't played enough to give a truly detailed review, but this is a very niche genre that I greatly enjoy and I want to support it any way I can. It's a first person dungeon crawler with very old school sensibilities. It's a genre that absolutely isn't for everyone, but I personally enjoy it, and I'm very happy to have gotten this game. Additionally the game has a strong sense of atmosphere and visual style, a welcome bonus. I said it's old school, but I want to clarify that…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The best Experience game on Steam. It's a conglomeration of their games. And, possibly their most accessible. Nearly all the sounds are from Stranger of Sword City, there's even characters you can even use. There's a story; It makes sense, it's explained well enough, and it's not convoluted. Music is top notch as always as well. Exploration is standard first person DC fare. You walk in grids and your map fills in. However, to make things non-standard, Experience added hidden doors and…

Set in an alternate Tokyo reminiscent of Shin Megami Tensei IV’s Neo-Tokyo, the game creates a dark industrial-horror environment that draws players in. Character customization is a major highlight, allowing diverse party builds and the option to choose portraits from other Experience Inc. titles like…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I got this game because of the art & atmosphere. For the most part those are alright, although I would have liked it better with a darker, more horror-esque atmosphere that you have in the beginning mine area. The part that really makes me want to not recommend this game is the gameplay. Press Space to win is the name of the game, basically playing Cookie Clicker. There's no in-combat decision making, there's no out-of-combat decision making most of the time either because the gear you have…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →[100% complete on another console] what a fabulous game. the peak first-person dungeon crawler. all of humanity's accomplishments have led to the release of undernauts. anyway it's really neat and you should play it if you like this kind of thing.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →First off, the graphics pictured here are NOT what the game looks like. Even in Ultra mode it doesn't come close to looking this "good." Second, this game is best played with a controller. Not that I mind this, but after years of mouse + keyboard play it was difficult to get used to switching over. Third, it says you can alter the dungeon and create new paths and doorways and etc. I received an item that supposedly allowed me to do this but I couldn't get it to work. Finally, for the price…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →To cut to the point, I know why you're reading the reviews. Is it Wizardry? It's close. About as close as Sword City and Demon Gaze got. It has some small issues, like lack of class flexibility/options, repetitive music, and no way to import your own portraits, but what *IS* there is incredibly impressive. See, what I love about Undernauts is the theme, the grotesque monster designs, the storyline, the streamlined grinding, the simple gear system, and the NPC dialog. It's a clever little…

Are you okay with a game that takes a bit of time to get going, but is a really smooth experience once it gets going? (about 30 minutes to get your party up and running). If you like old school dungeon crawlers, but don't want one that's insanely difficult because you didn't 100% min-max your party or know all the over powered race/class…

neutral · AI labelView post →Experience makes the real sicko shit, more folks should play Undernauts: Labyrinth of Yomi. The game with perhaps the singular best box art of all time.
positive · AI labelView post →Best way to describe this game is LAZY. I really tried it . managed to reach the cathedral . It is not worthy Game is repetitive , boring ,It looks cheap as a $5 bootleg version of something else. I would call this "we have shin megami tensei at home" meme I´ve played $8 porn games with more effort than this one Story is Ok at best Character development is almost non existent graphics: horrible Price : criminal
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Imagine Etrian Odyssey in a world set similar to Solo Leveling manga/anime (commercialisation of resources extracted in dungeons) and with very dark overtone. The storytelling is deep, immersive and engaging, makes me want to explore further not just to gain levels and loot, but also to uncover the mysteries of Yomi.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The story premise & artwork are pretty good, but it becomes really underwhelming after the first dungeon. Exploration is unexciting (too-large floors with little in the way of puzzles or interesting navigation), the game's mechanics trivialize anything that isn't at least a miniboss, and character building is really narrow. Maybe it might be fine as a first-ever DRPG for someone completely new to the genre, but there's really nothing exciting enough to make me keep playing it, especially with…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →While this project is obviously a lower budget than other Experience INC games, this one is practically an Experience INC version of SMT Strange Journey, and the tone/writing are impeccable. While you can tell this game doesn't have as much of a budget as the other Experience INC DRPGs, the actual core of what makes their games GOOD, are all still present. This game is more exploration focused than anything, so naturally, the Door Flower mechanics and other terrain altering abilities are…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It starts fun, and than it suddenly becomes insuferable. It´s legit insane how big of a difficulty spike this game has around the fourth dungeon, but only for bosses and sub bosses, you´re at around level 15 fighting enemies nearing the 30s, and the ammount of grind this game expects you to do is just unreasonable. That´s after hours of combat that doesn´t feel fun because every enemy goes down in a single or couple of hits. I been grinding and im still underleveled, being constantly…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →all i can say: atmosphere and music hit combat is pretty basic for modern day stuff (aka not hard to abuse the battery system, which is basically press turns from SMT) characters are interesting it is not 60$ of a game. lots of love poured into this, sure, but being hit with the "don't pirate this game plz :(" everytime i load, as a paying person, is a bit off putting. if you're bored and have played the labyrinth games and want something cool, sure go for it. otherwise, not worth 60$ imo.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I enjoyed Stranger of Sword City and was hoping for more of the same but Undernauts just isn't. Dungeons feel incredibly sparse with a ton of unused space. The mechanic of using Flowers to create doors, ladders, and bridges in the dungeons seems like a cool idea if the dungeons themselves were more interesting. I found myself constantly having to use quick travel to get anywhere because the dungeons are predominantly long empty hallways. Combat, classes, and enemy variety are just not there…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fans of Shin Megami Tensei, Etrian Odyssey, and other first person dungeon crawlers should consider picking this game up. The auto map is excellent, bonus feature includes the option to auto travel. Handy for when you need to back track. Character customization allows you to pick from several art styles. You can edit the story and details of each character to add a touch of personalization to your party members. Battles are quick thanks to auto battling or by forgoing animations. The new JRPG…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Absolutely *fantastic* dungeon crawler RPG. Has a TON of features and mechanics, plenty of stuff to see and do and interact with, and just is a masterpiece of ambiance, atmosphere and exploration. Immediately from the start of the game u can see and tell the quality of this one, it's very, very good. Will pour many more hours into it! EDIT - 16 hours later and I plan *much* more than that, but I'm here to say, I bow to the Masters, Experience, for crafting this priceless GEM!! A must-play for…

This is probably Experience Inc's magnum opus and *the* best game to start playing blobbers with if you're serious about getting into the genre. Great dungeon design, incredible art, awesome soundtrack, and a really engaging battle system + party builder.
positive · AI labelView post →Labyrinth of Yomi is one of the better JRPG Dungeon Crawler for it's price, got it for like 7 euros on sales. The art of the game as a specific style to it for a lack of a better word on my part, the environments are good enough to serve the game even thought I would have preferred more diversity, something more fantastical such as a Giant coral reef overgrown or a giant tree that serves as a jungle/tower to go through. The story is simple, you go in a dungeon, get stuck, solve the mysteries…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Undernauts is a classic Experience-style RPG, for better or worse. If you're new to the dungeon crawl genre or experience games, this is the place to start. For veterans, it's harder to recommend any higher than "It's alright". The experience style dungeon crawls are a series of first-person, tile-based, maze driven explorations with turn based combat. You build a party from scratch, get lots of control over how they evolve, learn to navigate the dungeons, collect loads of randomized gear…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you can get this in a bundle for around $7.50 it's a decent game. I would be upset if I paid $60 for it though. It's just playable enough that I'll probably play for around 20 hours before becoming bored. I don't see myself finishing this one. It's good enough to get a thumbs up, but just barely. I wish there was a neutral rating on steam. pros: - The monster design is overall pretty good. - You can "fast battle" which lets you end boring encounters quickly - Normally I can't get into…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It’s not COVID, but I am wiped the heck out from whatever Vani had when I got back from RRW. Today’s plans are to eat hot and sour soup and convalesce in front of Undernauts. No Pistons game today, so that can’t make it worse at least.
neutral · AI labelView post →First-person, grid-based, and heavily in the style of Wizardry, with a heavy focus on body horror. Lots of QoL features that should be standard in the subgenre. I'm only disappointed by one thing: There's no soundtrack DLC. This music slaps.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A somewhat cautious recommendation in case someone is looking for a bit more classic dungeon crawler jRPG, with a few fun twists on the mechanics. This game does a lot of things quite well in terms of player experience. There isn't a whole ton of cutscenes or VA work, but the story is written quite competently and stays fairly interesting throughout. Which not that many games manage to accomplish. You don't really get well written companions, beyond a few NPCs you regularly interact with.…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I have a ps4 controller which means I have no controller that works with this game. This would not be an issue if I could use the mouse. I'm such a fool for giving my money to a company that cant be bothered to ensure its consumers can do anything other than buy the game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very good DRPG. The labyrinth is large and fun to explore, you unlock items as you go that let you create and open different shortcuts. Combat is solid, at the start it'll seem simple but the deeper you go the more you'll have to use your head. A good game all in all but $60 seems steep for what the game is even if it's very good at what it does. If you're able to pick it up on one of it's rare sales do it, but if you're a big DRPG fan like I am you will probably be paying full price like I did.

Story was enjoyable mix of horror in a land (or mines, more or less) where creatures from other worlds - judging by the story, other Experience games - also make an appearance. I liked the story well enough and the lore seems to be heavily catered to those who have played other Experience titles but by no means make you feel lost if you haven't done so. I've seen complaints about static images and combat being repetitive…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A fantastic Dungeon RPG that has excellent atmosphere and an engaging enough story to keep you interested. The gameplay is a bit easy on the scale of DRPG's, but that just means you can feel free to jump in with whatever team you want to play with, and you'll probably be able to get through the game with minimal issues. But by far, the best part about this game is the artwork, it's absolutely amazing, environments are creepy, enemy designs range from unsettling to grotesque, with some classic…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great Dungeon Crawler Only thing wrong with it is the high price tag. Once again great game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A pretty forgettable experience. If you're looking for a good dungeon crawler, this probably won't fit the bill and it's expensive as well. I bought it due to other reviews talking about the horror element, but there isn't one. There's a few drains in the first map that have moving body parts sticking out of them, but that's the extent of any horror I came across. Every dungeon after the first is bland. The background varies a bit and the music will change to another forgettable track, but…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Experience is a small developer with limited resources, but still, their dungeon crawlers, specially of the Wizardry linage, feel among the best, Undernauts also feel like their most well-developed game, both in visual and in mechanical terms. The setting maybe could be explored more, as sometimes some small pieces of lore feel like people simple slap the word Yomi in to everything, but there is some good or intriguing pieces, between the plot and some characters backgrounds. While there are…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It is good but I liked the other dungeon crawlers they have created more. This has great level design and a good story but the party builds are a little to simple for my taste. I think 60$ is a little high for this one but good dungeon crawlers are few and far between so I happily paid it to support the devs.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →feels like a love-letter to games like etrian odyssey and oldschool smt (1-2, devil summoner soul hackers). obviously its literally the same kind of game like those but theres an obvious inspiration from atlus games, and its premise and methods to grab my attention feel familiar - its immediately very dark and messed up from the start and im a very big fan of that. only personal qualm i have with this game so far is im not in love with the music but this is the kinda game id ideally mute the…
