- I had a surprisingly fun time with Underground. The title oozes intrigue and brings a unique control setup to the Wii U eShop. Some minor setbacks detract from the experience, but the interesting gameplay and controls triumph over the issues. After you learn the controls, this is a puzzle game worth spending some serious time with on your Wii U.
Daan Koopman · Jan 10, 2015 Reviewed on Wii URead full review - Given that Underground is half game and half educational tool, it's impressive that the developer has made it so appealing to the general public. Challenging gameplay, unique controls and a surprisingly engaging storyline all held together with a glue of unadulterated charm makes this game a real joy to play. It's got a few potential bugs to consider at launch, but they aren't particularly detrimental to the overall experience. Underground is a roller coaster of a puzzle game that manages to bring something truly original to the Wii U eShop.
Alex Olney · Jan 08, 2015 Reviewed on Wii URead full review - Is Underground worth picking up? Yes if you are a Wii U owner with a puzzle game itch you just can’t scratch with anything else. Those who are intrigued, or can even be helped, by it’s medically derived control system may be interested too. The clunky controls feel like they have been adapted from another purpose, and made my time with Underground more of a chore than a pleasure.
Jonny Lewis · Jan 18, 2015 Reviewed on Wii URead full review - Considering Underground was developed originally as a simulator and will hopefully assist in the development of surgical skills, it's great to see it works well as a standalone game, too. This type of tangential learning, using games as teaching tools, is amazing, and it's fantastic to see it being used here. There are a million places this sort of idea could succeed; hopefully it will be used a lot more in the future.
Drew Hurley · Jan 08, 2015 Reviewed on Wii URead full review - For everyone else, Underground is an interesting puzzle game that has an intriguing concept that cannot be fully experienced with standard controls. I would love someday to get my hands on this unique Wii Remote-tool and experience the core elements of Underground, even without being a medical student. Until then, I will enjoy some moments of brilliance, I will get occasionally frustrated with losing some robots on the road due to its tricky and problematic gameplay, but at the end of the day, I can say that I have experienced a unique title that portrays educational aspects of video gaming in a good shape.
Hektor Apostolopoulos · Feb 02, 2015 Reviewed on Wii U - Aunque muchos lo encontrarán demasiado "frío" o extraño, estamos ante una propuesta claramente indie que nos regala un buen número de puzles y una historia bien narrada. Su duración puede que resulte algo escasa y su jugabilidad muy pausada, pero para tratarse de un título didáctico, va más allá de sus pretensiones iniciales.
Sergio Martín · Jan 15, 2015 Reviewed on Wii URead full review - Die Gestaltung der Rätsel sieht gegen ausgebuffte Puzzlespiele ohnehin keinen Stich – Underground ist dröges Ans-Ziel-Geleiten statt cleveres Knobeln. Es gibt nicht einmal eine weltweite Rangliste. Zu allem Überfluss funktioniert der Bau mancher Brücken oder das Aufheben einiger Gegenstände nicht wie es sollte. Das Hantieren mit den zwei Roboterarmen ist einzigartig und verlangt Fingerspitzengefühl und mit mit Sicherheit ist es eine willkommene Abwechslung in den Trainingsstunden der Mediziner. Als Spiel leistet es sich allerdings ärgerliche Kunstfehler.
Benjamin Schmädig · Jan 16, 2015 Reviewed on Wii URead full review - Underground foi criado com um propósito diferente daquele com que está a ser vendido e isso nota-se. Apesar de possuir um bom enredo e de os puzzles estarem bem construídos, a forma como os controlos foram adaptados faz com que mesmo os mais ávidos adoradores de puzzle games queiram desistir de o jogar devido à frustração de não conseguirem movimentar os braços mecânicos da forma como pretendiam.
António Branquinho · Feb 11, 2015 Reviewed on Wii U - A questo punto, visto quanto ci è piaciuto come gioco puro, è un peccato non avere i mezzi, materiali e culturali, per giudicare Underground come strumento d'addestramento per chirurghi, perché sospettiamo, data la bravura dei programmatori, che sia molto valido anche in questo senso.
Michele Maria Lamberti · Feb 01, 2015 Reviewed on Wii URead full review - För att summera det hela så är Underground ett rätt medelmåttigt spel som inte alls rättfärdigar sin prislapp på 185 riksdaler som det kostar att införskaffa på Wii U Eshop. Med ett intressant koncept så kunde det ha blivit ett riktigt bra pusselspel. Tyvärr får utvecklaren det inte riktigt att klaffa och istället så känner jag en betydligt större frustration än vad jag känner glädje i nuläget när jag avslutat min spelsession.

Underground – The System
Developed by Neoh Games Studios
Underground is an action-adventure, survival and exploration video game, its top-down gameplay takes Evee (protagonist) to explore the bowels of an underground system built to survive a chemical-biological war. Taking the player through synthetic biomes such as forest greenhouses, desert areas, residential condominiums and maritime areas; facing biological and mechanical enemies created to protect the underground from imminent threats, there are also enemies transformed by the chemically altered atmosphere after the war.
The story - with threats of a possible chemical-biological war, some world leaders ordered that refuges be built to resist the coming war, with the capacity to shelter hundreds and even thousands of people for a long period; these are the underground, isolated, self-sustaining havens. Each subterranean is powered by aortic crystals, metritic energy crystals that keep synthetic biomes 'alive' and manage the system's behavior and defenses. The system has a simple objective, to maintain the balance of synthetic biomes and eliminate any type of biological invasion or not in the refuge. As it was to be expected, the undergrounds did not completely resist the nuclear chemical bombardments, making many undergrounds uninhabitable and totally hostile, few refuges partially resisted the war, bringing a problem that puts human existence in possible extinction; with the atmosphere made chemically toxic, the little oxygen and fresh water from underground become vital. Underground 01 of Ricks Cross located in Houstonian-USD is the largest built and the one that apparently suffered the least from the war. The protagonist Evee aims to invade this underground and diagnose the situation of the place, as this becomes the last possible salvation of the human race.
Objective – Players control Evee, a scientific biologist with military training, who using the so-called Suit-tech, a kind of armor capable of resisting toxic and hostile environments, she will enter the refuge to destroy the crystals and eliminate the threats from the place. Evee has no record in this underground, so the entire system will identify her as a Class 5 threat, and she must be destroyed immediately.
