We are happy to announce that Undungeon, a pixel art sci-fi ARPG, is available today with Xbox Game Pass! Our team has come quite a journey: Undungeon has been in development for 6 years now. Today, with the launch, we’re excited to see how the gaming community will react.
what is Undungeon? First and foremost, it’s a visual experience like no other. We tried to create a world that you feel at home in immediately and that you have never seen before. The pixel art style seemed to fit the team’s ambitious sci-fi vision perfectly.
We put together a team of 13 people, including 4 artists. Countless hours have been put into hand drawing and animating our exquisite environments and characters so that the player can say, “I want to explore this world!” If we could talk about our inspirations, “Dune” by Frank Herbert and some of the most iconic Pixel Kind title like Illegal workers would come to mind.
Story and lore are other key functions that we focused on in our quest for immersion. Undungeon takes place in the multiverse, where seven dimensions are on the verge of a virulent turmoil. You are emptiness: a messenger, a herald created by your dimension and sent to the ancient city of Archaban to collect six seals belonging to other worlds. As you travel through space and time, the multiverse is shaken by a devastating disaster of unknown nature that leaves you in a barren alien land. To find your way out of this hostile desert, you have to communicate with local tribesmen.
In order to create a living, breathing universe, we focused our efforts on lore. It spans tens of thousands of years, from ancient antiquity to the present, tarnished by fear and uncertainty. Our game contains over 150,000 words of text and dialogue. Decisions you make during your journey can have a huge impact on the ending.
Undungeon is an action-oriented role-playing game, which means that it won’t go down without a fight. Some hostile animals and locals are unsatisfied with your sudden invasion of their ecosystem and want to stop you. You have a wide variety of weapons at your disposal, including various claws for close-range combat and long-range tools such as bombs, knives and other deadly projectiles. The game also features an unorthodox healing system where you deploy a healing item and land a punch to replenish your HP points. Just make sure it isn’t stolen when you need it.
Another innovative system that our game will introduce is the organ transplant system. Loot organs from slain enemies or make them from organic material to give your body more powerful capabilities. The core is your body’s main viral organ that you can upgrade and adjust to accommodate different builds: from “fueling” to DoT (Damage over Time) or critical damage to recruited companions. We have done our best to ensure that the mechanics of character building are as deep as possible with a variety of build styles, and we hope that each player will adapt their hero to the play style that best suits them.
Two worlds will be available at launch, similar to the characters. The Wastelands, where Void was stranded after a failed trip to Archaban, is a windswept outback with a harsh, arid climate, aggressive fauna, and strange tribes that populate its rocky expanses. The second world, Lutenland, appears as a lush but dangerous marshland. All kinds of arachnids, reptiles and amphibians live in this land of ancient ruins, secrets and inevitable dangers.
Undungeon focuses heavily on exploration. We’re introducing a global map of random events to add the element of uncertainty and surprise to any trip.
Undungeon is available today with Xbox Game Pass, and we sincerely hope you enjoy it. Stay up to date follow us on twitter and Join our Discord server.
