How it feels

You and your dwarven buddies gleefully smash through dirt and rock, racing deeper into the earth for bigger ores and treasures.

What players say

Players love the digging and upgrading loop but are frustrated by bugs that erase tunnels on reload and a useless jetpack that makes climbing back to the surface a chore. Some say it is short, around six hours, and lacks basic traversal tools like ladders. Multiplayer is praised but the save issues and harsh death penalty divide players on recommending it.
