    To conclude, Going Under is a pretty good game that manages to find its spot as a charming, parody yet critical, roguelike indie game that doesn’t innovate in the genre but has a unique charm that can resonate with many millennials and, in the end, become a joyful experience.

    It’s those wonderful creative choices that make Going Under better than the sum of its parts. Gameplay may feel unwieldy, but wonderful dungeon design and charming bosses ensure the experience is never frustrating. Add in sharp writing, fun characters, and some genuine laughs, and it’s hard not to crack a smile.

    I liked Going Under although I didn’t enjoy it as much as I could’ve. You see, I find that a very appealing part for me in a roguelike is the ability to have a broken run; while it is true in Going Under the problem of being underpowered is relatively gone, so is the possibility of the opposite. There is no one-shotting bosses or wiping rooms in an instant, the most similar thing to the latter only happens in very few cases. I find it quite unsatisfactory to go around dealing almost the same damage and without any special effects.

    I wouldn’t say that this game is on par with all those high-caliber games we have right now but I can say that this game can stand on its own and can be very entertaining for the right person. I don’t think I ever had this much fun in a game that seems so simple on the surface but has real depth into it. If you’re looking for a game to jump into while you wait for the next big game, I say give this one a try and I’m sure you won’t regret it.

    More than just a unique roguelike with a nice combat system and tons of customization options, Going Under is also a great piece of satire. Anyone who has ever worked for a tech company or startup, or has ever had an annoying boss who forced them to do chores that were completely unrelated to what they had been hired for, will definitely relate to our protagonist’s struggles.

    It would be easy to say that Going Under’s witty characters and fantastic presentation carry it, but underneath its sarcastic surface there’s a great rogue-like that’s entirely worth checking out all on its own. Don’t let it go under your radar.

    Going Under

    Going Under is a great dungeon crawler game. When it comes to its replayability, wide variety of weapons, side tasks, cute art style, music background and more are so awesome. I've unlock a job opportunity and try it after being defeated in JOBLIN. It's hard and as you move forward, you'll face different obstacles and enemies. Unlike Joblin, it's just easy but when you move to level 4 and your health level is low, you'll surely be defeated in no time. By the way, you can use 3 weapon like use the ZR and ZL button to change weapons. The weapon will last when you're in the battle depending on what kind of weapon you pick such as stapler, pencil, bone, chair, computer monitor and many more. -- Just survive and kill the boss!

    Going Under is A rogue like Game where internships are literally heck, with You going into rooms where you can pick up everything and use it as a weapon. There's story and Quest to be done to progress,onces you complete the Dungeon and get everything you need out of it, your boss will give you quest and more stuff to Do. There's curse like First Person and other Stuff i'm not going to spoil about. The Graphics is Clean and Nice. Combat is quite hard at first, even though you spam the attack button at the enemy and attacking him, he'll attack you back, the combat is challenging and quite fun. 8/10 Lots of Upgrades and Powerups. You'll find new characters along the way, like one person which helps you steal an item from the shop in the Dungeon. You can basically pick up anything, like a pencil, A book, box, lots of item. There's also cars in the Dungeon. Worth trying it, lots of fun
