About This Game It Lurks Below is a retro-styled, 2D, action-oriented, survival RPG by David Brevik. Create a custom character and choose from several different classes to delve deep into the mysteries of what evil lurks below. Dig down and explore the randomly generated levels, find random items, and combat deadly monsters to get the answers.Though this game looks similar to other games in the genre, it plays very differently. It is a true RPG, with many stats and character classes. It is very reminiscent of other games made by David Brevik such as Diablo, Diablo II, Hellgate: London and Marvel Heroes. With eight character classes to choose from, randomly generated levels, random stats on items, secret areas, bosses, a survival talent tree and three different play modes, it delivers a very different and unique gaming experience.Are you ready to find out what Lurks Below?CREATE YOUR CHARACTERBard (melee) - Wield the power of song and screaming to best your foes in battle. With trusty sword and shield and specializing in passive area effect damage and buffs, the bard is a force of nature in the battle field. ⠀⠀ Cleric (melee + ranged) - Come prepared for battle with heavy armor and plenty of healing power. Choose to fight with a mace and shield or a ranged wand. The cleric is the only class who is given this choice. Paired with its high survive-ability, it is the class that will outlive all others. ⠀⠀ Enchanter (ranged) - Stun and lighting are the enchanters tools of choice. What better way to avoid damage than stopping enemies in their tracks. If that wasn't enough, the enchanter can wield the power of illusion and turn into a wisp and fly away.⠀⠀ Necromancer (ranged) - Wielding the skulls of the dead as undead minions, marks the necromancer as the games resident pet class. Pair this with powerful poison and cold damage and self buffs, means the necromancer is an undead friendly powerhouse. ⠀⠀ Paladin (melee) - Dashing into combat wielding a powerful two handed sword or hammer makes the paladin one of the most formidable melee characters in the game. Consecrating the ground, area effect purification and damage are just a few of the tools this powerful holy warrior brings to the table. ⠀⠀ Rogue (melee) - Slip past enemies by hiding in the shadows and then when the moment is right, stab them with the rogue's powerful dual wielding daggers. ⠀⠀ Warrior (melee) - Decide between defensive stance and offensive stance; both make the warrior an incredible beast in battle. While defensive stance focuses on survive-ability and offensive stance focuses on damage, both are incredibly satisfying, especially combined with the warriors whirlwind ability. ⠀⠀ Wizard (ranged) - Harnessing the power of the elements through powerful area affect spells make the wizard an unstoppable elemental force. Their spell set is rounded out with a drake companion and teleport. ⠀⠀⠀CHOOSE YOUR GAME STYLE⠀⠀Creative - Enjoy all the game has to offer in more relaxed setting. No need to worry about survival mechanics, though still have the benefit of the survival tree. Many of the recipes and building supplies are already unlocked, which makes it much easier to languish in the joy of building and farming the whole surface. With no invasions to worry about, the only monsters that will be encountered are below in the dungeon. Descent - Same difficulty as Survival, just without the survival aspect. For anyone interested in just thrashing monsters and getting all the loot. No survival tree, no hunger, and no fatigue.Survival - This is the original game design mode. Not that this makes the other modes any less valid, but most of the game is designed with Survival Mode in mind. This includes all the bells and whistles of surviving and the survival tree, paired with difficult dungeon challenges and plenty of invasions. Hardcore - Both Survival and Descent have a hardcore option. This doesn't change anything about the particular mode other than you get only one death.Choose what works best for you! There are no wrong choices!FEW LAST TIPS!Surviving is rough out here (unless you are playing Descent, in which case, learn to make potions!). Make sure to grab all the food you can find, cook your vegetable, chop down trees, dig up ore, craft some new armor, and start your farm.⠀⠀One last thing that will help with survival, inventory space and your characters fabulous look is to build up your town. Many new buildings will become unlocked as you travel further into the dungeon; don't forget to build them. And while you are at it, you might as well craft yourself some new armor as well. Oh and maybe a ring...and some potions.⠀⠀Now you are truly ready! We hope you enjoy the game as much as we did creating it! 7aa9394dea Title: It Lurks BelowGenre: Action, Indie, RPGDeveloper:Graybeard GamesPublisher:Graybeard GamesRelease Date: 29 May, 2019 It Lurks Below Keygen Razor1911 Download My initial impression is that it's like a good terraria mod that adds some diablo-esque skills and a hunger system. But there has been a steady stream of new features as I go through the game so I think there's probably enough to distinguish it.. It Lurks Below is a great action game with some light RPG elements and a few building features.I say light, because the choices are straightforward and very clear what benefit they will provide. If you increase the level of a skill it gets better. If you gain more attack power you hit harder. That being said, just like every game that has these features you will be able to find combinations of items that work better that others.One skill pulls in all the enemies of the room? Cleaving attacks are the best bet.Need to shoot around corners? Use your reflective wand, or arcing.The game can be punishing to newer players. If you don't know how to manage your farms, or you spend too much time before gathering more ressources you may end up starving to death. Thankfully the different difficulty modes help provide a better experience if you don't want to deal with certain aspects of survival.Descent is a great alternative, but you wouldn't be able to heal while you sleep. Passive recovery, potions and regenerative affixes are more necessary. You will also be missing the buffs that certain food combinations have provided.Creative has all the benefits of survival, without the hunger and fatigue.If potential time investment is important to you then consider the following.It only takes 4h to reach the bottom of normal difficulty, but that is not the end. Each new difficulty adds new attack patterns and monsters to the areas and bosses. It keeps it fresh and challenging.The crystal system adds an addictive loop to your gear upgrades. The hard choices come when you have a fantastic unique crystal, but also want a higher tier armor. What will you sacrifice?Rings need some love. Personally there are only a few that are interesting to me.At the time I am writing this review I have 170+ hours in the game and see myself playing for even longer. If you only want to go through everything once it is maybe 20-30 hours to get through all of the difficulties on a single character.https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=7m05WnqmCnE. I've been waiting to write this review, because I kept thinking that maybe I just didn't get It Lurks Below. I read so many reviews raving about this game being a beautiful mix of Terraria and Diablo, and after 9 hours of grinding...I still don't see it. Sure it may look like Terraria with lots of loot like Diablo, but it lacks the charm and enjoyment that either game has. There are so many baffling development decisions, like a single song on loop (as of today that was fixed, but why wait so long to bring in new music?); an overabundance of useless weapons making you meticulously go back to the surface and sift through 15 weapons with slightly varying numbers; 5 item slots making building anything more of a chore than anything; or my least favorite decision: an inventory menu that takes up the entire screen, yet a crafting and bank menu that requires you to go through multiple lists to find what you need. UI problems aside, the combat is too hectic to actually have any strategy involved, 70% of the time it will just be you stat checking mobs to the face, the other 30% of the time will be you harassing them from range where they cant hit you. Most every fight comes down to if you have previously found armor and weapons that will allow you to survive.Honestly, overall I just felt like I kept playing waiting for the game to start, I feel like I never experienced what people are raving about in reviews. Heck, what I played didn't even seem half as cool as what I saw in trailers. But I feel like after 9 hours, if I still haven't experienced any joy in a game waiting for end game content, the pacing is just not well done. There's a place for this game, if you're really into old style games you'll probably be into this, but I think it takes the type of person that still plays retro games like Diablo 2 to appreciate what this game offers, because anyone casual player who plays modern games will be more frustrated at It Lurks Below than enjoying the time spent in it.. A great game from the creator of Diablo.Tons of classes to choose from with play styles for everyone.I really have enjoyed playing this game and seeing the amazing game it is now.. With a lot of work, this could be a very enjoyable game. In its current state (official 1.0 release), it's tedious and had a lot of unfun mechanics. It sounds like a lot of reviews were from early access and a lot of the mechanics have changed around quite a bit since then.One thing other reviews haven't really mentioned is just how cramped and awkward the combat feels. You basically have two choices: either you're tough enough to survive standing next to a bunch of mobs and kill them before you, or you stand at a distance and range (read: cheese) them to death. I haven't really felt the in between state.The dungeon grind felt very awkward to me. The dungeon you go in looks like an ants nest from the side, however the passages are either barely large enough for you to fit though, or not large enough. You have a movement skill to get around this, but it's on a cooldown (10 seconds to start). You end up waiting for this cooldown a lot of the time. Oh, and the dungeon is in complete darkness, so you need to place a torch every 10 feet if you want to see AT ALL. Supposedly there is a ring that lights up the space around you. At level 32, I haven't found anything like this so far.Low on health? Either drink a potion or teleport home and heal at +5 hp\/second. You can increase this slightly by regen items if you're lucky enough to find them. However, the "armor check" others mentioned will quickly mean you need to change your armor. Oh and that really cool gem you found? It doesn't fit in your new armor. So yeah, choose between a cool gem with abysmal AR or a good AR rating with a crappy gem. Of course you can grind to find new items.Ring crafting: To craft rings, which provide minor buffs, require runes. Runes are so rare that I unlocked my second ring slot at level 25 before I had enough runes to craft even a single ring. You can't craft the lowest level runes, but you can combine runes to create higher level ones. This creates an awkward system where you have all the level 2 runes you need, but you have none of the level 1 ones. The only way to get level 1 runes is to crawl through the lower levels of the dungeon.Invasions are an unfun mechanic. Your base gets overrun with monsters which you have to kill in order to access your shopkeeper and other NPCs again. If you die, and you're next to your homestone, you will most likely die again immediately after resurrecting and drop even more items. And then die again. At that stage, you have no items and no way of getting them back. Only solution is to start a new character.Hitting "m" brings up the map as an overlay across your screen. The problem is that it's at 100% opacity, so you can't see anything. To close the map, you need to hit "m" THREE MORE TIMES to cycle through the various map states and close it. It's like the developer didn't know which map mode looked best, so he threw them all in there. The end result is a four-cycle map mode instead of just a toggle.. Having played this game in early access for quite some time, I can admit the only thing that brought me to it was the Brevik's themselves. Being a life long gamer of D2 and 3k hours + in Marvel Heroes it is safe to say that I enjoy his products. **ALERT** I typically DO NOT enjoy these style games. They don't typically attract me so I bought this game with the sole intention of just helping them. HOWEVER, after playing the game in descent mode I found myself having a ton of fun. I made multiple classes, Bard being my favorite. I've been waiting for official release so I could see it at it's current best. If this game was able to draw me in, someone who traditionally doesn't like these games, that should say how fun and exciting the game can be. The Brevik's stream the game all the time and David is constantly updating the game with patches and keeping a heavy involvement with the community. If you took yourself and a significant other to the movies, it would cost you $20 which last 2-3 hrs. Spend 20$ and help support the Brevik's and have many many hours of fun in this AWESOME loot explosion, boss killing, mob destroying, crafting extravaganza and oh shoot, manage your inventory!! A+ product!. This is a really fun game. Most of the complaints about the survival aspects are kind of silly because get this...you can turn it off.Lots of character classes, pretty mindless but fun action, cool loot and some higher tier crafting stuff to shoot for as well. When you die you drop a lot of your gear but as another review failed to realize is that there is an npc that will find your gear for you. Really helps with that difficulty spike that comes from having to find your stuff on your own while gimped.I could go on, but to summarize, this is a very solid game for the price. And it was made by a legitimate legend of the industry who deserves the support.If you ACTUALLY PAY ATTENTION TO THE MECHANICS IN THE GAME you will probably have a good time.. Played this during early access, and now with full release it just keeps getting better.5 stars out of 5 :D
