The add-on contains new factions, enemies, abilities, and items. Underrail: Expedition increases the level cap, allowing our heroes to advance past level 25. The gameplay itself reuses the rules which governed the gameplay of the original Underrail. As a result, the game world has an open structure, and is seen from an isometric perspective, while our hero completes various main and side quests, battles opponents, upgrades his abilities, and acquires new equipment. The encounters are turn-based, often requiring well-thought strategies in order to win. Underrail: Expedition is a not a stand-alone expansion, and requires the original Underrail.

Adventure, Casual, Detective, Internet, Multiplayer, TV Series, Singleplayer, Hidden Objects, Free-to-play.

A casual detective game with hidden objects, based on the license of a popular police procedural TV series, NCIS. The game has a similar feel to CSI: Hidden Crimes, a title of the same genre released two years earlier. We are thrown into various investigations, led by the titular agents in many different locations. We visit crime scenes, interrogate the witnesses, cataloguing and analyzing the evidence and clues we find. NCIS: Hidden Crimes is built from typical genre elements, such as searching for hidden items or solving varied logic puzzles. However, the developers offer a wide range of challenges, introducing six different approaches to the investigation and nine types of minigames. The license of the series doesn’t limit itself to name only – the cases are handled by the characters known from the screen, such as agent Gibbs, or forensic specialist Abby.

An online card game from King studio, known from its many casual projects.

The title focuses on multiplayer mode, as it offers a complex matchmaking system, social options and in-game chat. We can also unlock special challenges that present us with certain tasks and follow different rules.
