What is UnderRail?

UnderRail is a single-player, turn-based isometric RPG set beneath an uninhabitable future Earth, where humanity survives in a network of subway settlements. You explore an open world, fight with weapons or psychic abilities, sneak, hack, pick locks, and craft equipment while becoming entangled in conflicts among underground factions.

For you if...

  • +you enjoy difficult turn-based combat and detailed character builds
  • +you prefer exploration and worldbuilding over cinematic presentation
  • +you want stealth, crafting, and psychic alternatives to gunplay

Not for you if...

  • −you want forgiving character creation without advance planning
  • −you prefer real-time combat and a relaxed difficulty
  • −you want clear guidance for every skill and system
