What to expect? Not top marks, but very good ones on what counts… The gameplay! One-man team production values weigh in and often affect the overall averages. I’ll never have AAA scores, nor do I intend to try and rival with the big guys 😉

Returning to the Underworld – Swords and Sorcery: Underworld Definitive Edition

Monsters are rarely limited to straightforward attacks and defenses, either. Even at the lowest levels, players will encounter enemies that summon others, explode for small amounts of damage to multiple party members, rangers that fade back outside of melee range to pelt the party with arrows, and so forth. Facing a new enemy is always makes me wonder when I saved last, because I may be unpleasantly surprised with some ability that I am not prepared to defend against.

 

 
 "Les graphismes sont d'époque mais le scénario et le jeu valent le coup. Un style à découvrir pour les plus jeunes ou à redécouvrir pour les plus anciens."

Visuals are dated but the story and the game are worth getting into. A style worth discovering for the younger player, or rediscovering for the veterans.

Going Deep RPGing with Swords and Sorcery – Underworld

5/5 on gameplay! Unfortunately GIN ran into bugs that were fixed since…

…those who wish for a classic coat of paint on that style of gameplay will absolutely adore this game.

 

 

SSUDE Review on Twinfinite

Given the amount of detail that lies under Sword and Sorcery’s remarkably basic look and feel, nostalgic fans of that period in gaming history are sure to be pleased. It may be an acquired taste, but if you’re willing to look beyond the presentation and into the real meat of it, there’s plenty of time to be spent exploring, fighting, and thinking your way through the Underworld.

Swords and Sorcery – Underworld – Definitive Edition

A heavy emphasis on production values despite a good gameplay score (75%). Nice analysis of the magic and combat systems. The part about grinding suggests Gonçalo might have missed the (I)nvestigate option.

Test Swords and Sorcery – Underworld – Definitive Edition [PC]

Très complet, Swords and Sorcery possède tous les atouts pour satisfaire la fibre nostalgiques des ceusses ayant arpenté d’autres profondeurs du même genre il y a 30 ans.

Very comprehensive, S&S has everything the nostalgics that first explored similar depths 30 years ago could hope for.
