Free the People in Underboard
The indie game developer Headless has revealed the release window for their upcoming title, Underboard. This tactical team-building roguelike auto-battler is coming to Steam in Q3 2025. Additionally, the developer is also planning to release a free demo of the game in early 2025 as well, so make sure to keep an eye out.
The Underboard has returned, trapping people inside once again. You must form a team of heroes to help them escape. Equip your team with powerful items and cast magical spells to battle fierce monsters along the way. Every choice you make brings them closer to freedom.
In this game, characters act independently, following rules related to their positioning and aggro. Players can use spells to support their team in both active and passive ways. Each character starts with random traits, and by giving them experience, you can level them up. These traits provide valuable bonuses, and you can unlock even higher trait bonuses by collecting more characters with the same traits.
You can also equip items to your characters for added stat boosts, extra traits, or unique passive effects. During explorations, you’ll traverse a series of randomly generated maps that become increasingly challenging. As you uncover new areas, focus on the rewards that will benefit you the most. Defeating map bosses allows you to progress to higher-level maps, where you can earn rewards to complete your collection. With over 120 rewards and 60 unique stats, you can create powerful combos to enhance your gameplay.
