How it feels

You cautiously descend deeper into a hostile underground, knowing one mistake can end your run but the promise of treasure keeps you mining and fighting onward.

What players say

Players are split on Below the Stone. Some enjoy the addictive mining and challenging void, but many criticize it for shallow progression, no skill tree, and a punishing extraction system that can erase an hour of work. Long-time early access players note the game has received updates over time, though some still find it lacking direction.
