Hell yeah under rail first game is awesome
It’s one of those indie hidden gems. The world-building, combat systems, and RPG elements are top notch. There are so many different ways to play the game. It’s also very hard and almost too unforgiving.
Some of the quest and character writing was a bit generic (many characters felt like quest dispensers and I wasn’t a fan of the epilogue), but these aren’t deal-breakers.
The difficulty is what has kept me off it, I think. It’s been on my radar for a while and I do love Fallout 1&2, but I’m wary of getting frustrated and stuck in games nowadays.
I would get a build guide (not a walkthrough), the game will still be challenging but you’ll feel like you have the tools to counter your enemies.
Don’t want to reveal any spoilers, but it might be worth consulting a walkthrough in the last 20% of the game, not for step by step instructions, but some key choices that IMO make or break the final mission/area.
See, that’s good advice and I’ll remember it if I ever play it but still kind of speaks of the sort of design I’m a bit wary of these days.
Though I guess I would probably say the same about FO 1/2 also if I didn’t already know them…
If you like FO 1/2, I would just dive in.
In a sense, I am envious that you have never played UnderRail and it will be a first time experience for you.
I was in a similar position, I love FO 1/2, I had heard about UnderRail for years, but never made the move. When I tried, I couldn’t stop till I reached the end. It’s not without its flaws, but it has a great tactical combat system and an in-depth sense of place.
If you’re capable for playing FO 1/2, you’ll manage. Especially if you pick a build guide.
I’ll keep it in mind and put it on my wishlist. I have a lot of games to get through, but I’ll try to give it a shot before the sequel comes out.
Fuck yeah
