Yeah you heard me right, the game's genres in the shop page are kind of misleading... This is a strategy game where you control some advanced Miners with all the gear in the world to put the most seasoned of spelunkers to shame.

At first, you think: Ow, it's a Spelunky wannabe... But then your seasoned veteran spelunker meets some horrifying creatures straight out of "The Thing". At first you think" well it's manageable", then the game throws in three other miners you have to control at the same time and micro-manage and that's when you start tripping.

The game is, as of the time of making this review, still in early access so mainly still unfinished, except for maybe a quite buggy Story mode where you have to control your miners and order them into digging and drilling caves and stuff... It's actually very easy to get the hang of it, especially in those forgiving difficulty modes where you're allowed to die as many times as possible. I will not go deeper into an unfinished game, but it's kind of amazing that an unfinished early access game can pull off a premise this great... I actually enjoyed going "Aha, that's how you solve this stage" and then using my drill machine to drill further inside a tunnel (Pause) is satisfying as all hell.

All in all, it's a pretty decent 6/10 platformer strategy game that everyone should try, at least for a couple of hours.

its a really really good game, my parents disowned me
