<p>Instead of merely whining that the graphics suck as the local plebs did, Corwin from RPGWatch actually played <a href="http://www.classicgamesremade.com/" target="_blank">Underworld</a> and <a href="http://www.rpgwatch.com/show/article?articleid=155&ref=0&id=440" target="_blank">decides to share his impressions</a>.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>This is an old-fashioned, turn based, party RPG and your first job is to roll up a party of adventurers. You can create a party of up to six characters and there are six classes to choose from. Race and gender options are also available, but they didn't appear to make much, if any, real difference during the game. Class certainly did as many items have class restrictions upon them. The six possibilities are Knight, Paladin, Archer, Thief, Priest and Sorcerer. I began with a balanced party, but later swapped to try other builds. You begin in an Inn, with some very primitive gear, a little gold and no idea what to do except explore the town a little. Good Luck.</p>
<p>...</p>
<p>Sorcerers get primarily attacking and teleportation spells, while Priests - as one would expect - are mainly healers, though they do get one very powerful attacking spell at the beginning of the game. What really impressed me was that I used almost all the spells I had regularly. Frequently, tactical use of the correct spell meant the difference between success and failure. The assorted travel spells are most useful. One will allow you to leave a dungeon and return you to the nearest town, (there are three, but you have to discover two of them), while another, for example, allows you to travel between the towns once they have been discovered. The portal spell saves a great deal of time when you want to return to a dungeon.</p>
<p>...</p>
<p>Bottom line, this is a first effort from a one person Indie developer who could use a great deal of support from people buying this game so he can create a sequel. Is it worth the price of admission? I certainly believe it's a bargain you shouldn't miss if you at all enjoy this type of game. Head over to the Classic Games Remade website and at least grab the demo. Once you get past the old style graphics, I don't think you'll be disappointed.</p>
