UnderrailPurchase the alpha on Desura!Purchase the alpha on GamersGate!Underrail (formerly Timelaspe Vertigo) is a turn based RPG, inspired by games such as Fallout, Arcanum, Neverwinter Nights and System Shock 2, to quote the website. You are apart of a "metro station-state", as the world above has been destroyed in some unnamed disaster. Below ground, warring factions and mutant creatures roam and battle for resources.
Home PageScreenshotsGameplay VideoAlpha DemoRockpapershotgun Article, From Two Months AgoDev BlogSteam Greenlight PageCombat is turn based, with each action taking a different amount of action points, which refresh each turn, very similar to games such as Fallout, X-Com, or Jagged Alliance. You can fight with either melee weapons, guns, or psionics.
Strength, dexterity, agility, constitution, perception, will, and intelligence are the main stats of your character.
The skills.. The skills are much more numerous. There are:
Guns, Grenades, Crossbows, Melee
Dodge, Evasion
Stealth, Hacking, Lockpicking, Pickpocketing
Mechanics, Electronics, Chemistry, Biology, Tailoring
Thought Control, Psychokinesis, Metathermics
Persuasion, Intimidation, Mercantile
These are all separate skills, I have just divided them into their in-game subcategories for space. Suffice to say, there are alot of skills. On top of that..There are even more feats.
It scrolls down, and down..

If I were better at describing things, I would tell you about the crafting system and how that works, but I'm not so I'm just going to tell you to download and play the
free demo. If you want to know more, I recommend reading the
dev blog, or the
RPS article.If you are even remotely a fan of Fallout or RPGs, you should try the demo right now. Right now! Go! I've had more fun with the demo than I have with full priced, finished games. I haven't played the alpha yet, but I hope to soon!
