Undercroft - New RPG!

01-10-06, 03:06 PM

I just got the announcement in my Clickgamer newsletter.

Undercroft is great epic adventure in fantasy world of warriors and wizards, that brings together classic atmosphere of constituent games of the RPG genre with plenty of new features packed together in superior graphics and level design.

Control steps of a hotheaded adventurers, who started twists of the erratic events with one simple and unwise bet. Lead them to the horror graveyard just to prepare future, they could never expect.

! With purchase of the game for Pocket PC you got Windows version for free !

Undercroft Game Features:

12-16 hours of total play time (on the average).

Quest based gameplay with elaborate plot and plenty of sidequests to gather extra experience

Enhanced interface overcoming many disadvantages of older games and keeping all the extensive functionality quickly on hand

Sophisticated graphics with strong fantasy atmosphere

Plastic level design with holes, bridges, roofed and opened areas and other features unseen in classic "dungeon" RPG before

5 characters with unique skills and spells allowing both fighting and casting heroes to use special moves during combat

Classic, but also very untraditional weaponry to have more fun (e.g. chains for assassins, sabreteeth for summoners etc.)

And much more...

Here is a link to the product page at Clickgamer. It looks like you get the Windows version of the game free if you purchase the PPC version. At $19.95, this is a sweet deal if the game is any good :approve:

I d/l'd the PC demo version which is fully playable - this is a fun game I'll prolly buy it this weekend and rot my brain for several hours

although the demo itself is enjoyable as it is.

according to the RakeInGrass forums Undercroft doesn't currently support WM5, but will soon. I installed the full version and it hung my x51v repeatedly.

They're looking for testers for the WM5 version if anyone's interested:

That looks an awful lot like Legacy PPC... I had hoped that being a new title they would have released a high-res version. :(

Am I the only one who's sick of seeing the RPG genre on PPC? Seriously there's more on PDA's than games consoles it's mad.

I almost thought it was a Legacy add-on the first time I saw it...

Nevertheless, I downloaded and installed the 1.01 update which was supposed to add WM5 compatibility - it still crashes my x51v.

Yup, you're the only one ;)

I am always up for an RPG on my PPC if it is done well.

looked promising.. but I wasn't too impressed with the graphics.

mareuter · 02-26-06, 09:00 PM

there's a v1.20 update for anyone who's interested - it now runs well on WM5 and some internationalization has been added as well.

enjoy!

Just downloaded it, having some trouble understanding it. Has anyone tried it? Can someone explain to me what exactly is the premise of the game? Just fill me in so that i can begin to understand and enjoy the game.

I quit right after picking the players caz i don't even know what to make them out to me. :)

ok...

but otherwise, it's good. Graphics not bad, i didn't expect it to be that great, but it was nice to look at.

But the music,... i don't know if there are any... but i have yet to start the game it self.

i know it sould pethetic, but ... that's me.
