Description:

Embark on an epic journey into "The Darkness Below", a homage to the golden era of 90's cRPGs, with grid-based movement, turn-based combat and 2.5D perspective. Wander a vast and colorful fantasy world filled with puzzles, exotic creatures, forgotten dungeons and ancient guardians.

(Description from Steam)
The Darkness Below is a large-scale, single-player dungeon crawler inspired by the golden era of 90s RPGs — Dungeon Master, Eye of the Beholder, Might & Magic III–V, Lands of Lore — rebuilt with deeper character systems and modern stability.

Explore a handcrafted fantasy world through first-person grid movement and fast turn-based combat.
Train skills by using them. Advance through expertise tiers. Shape your party through meaningful progression and choice.

This is a true old-school CRPG — without the old technical limits.
