A roguelike game developed by the independent studio Capybara Games (the authors of Critter Crunch, Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes and Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery). Below takes place on a mysterious island, the dungeons of which are filled with secrets and unknown technologies. The player assumes the role of a brave man who goes deep into the island armed only with a sword, a shield, a torch, and the curiosity that pushes him forward.
Below for PC and XONE is a roguelike game developed by independent studio Capybara Games, the authors of such games like Critter Crunch, Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes and Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery.
The game takes place on a mysterious island, which the player thoroughly explores. While doing so he will find secrets, dark caverns and hostile creatures. The artistic visuals of the world of Below are impressive from the first moment.
Below for PC and XONE has specific graphics style similar to the previous project of the studio – the Sword & Sworcery. However, this time the developers decided not to use pixel art, and instead the game has much more detailed graphics, quite similar to the Journey but with more toned colors. Great vistas are the biggest advantage of the visuals of Below.
The intriguing music that greatly fits the specific atmosphere of the island was composed by Jim Guthrie. In the past, the Canadian artist created, among others, the soundtrack for Sword & Sworcery, the previous game developed by Capybara Games.

Game Ratings for Below Video Game.
TheSixthAxis: 9 / 10 by Thomas Hughes
Below is a unique experience that blends some of the most popular gameplay mechanics seen this generation into a hauntingly beautiful and ferocious journey of death, redemption and survival. Even with the new Explore Mode making the game more accessible, Below's obtuse nature won't be to everyone's tastes, but the process of discovering and mastering the game's numerous systems is a vastly enjoyable one.
COGconnected: 70 / 100 by Isaac Monterose
Below is a roguelike that excels at making players truly feel like they’re a lone adventurer on a dangerous island filled with secrets. I liked its simple, colorful art style, its music, and atmosphere, but the gameplay pushed me away.
Destructoid: 6.5 / 10 by Jordan Devore
Some players will relish the challenge, but I just couldn't. Not in this game. Below puts its best foot forward in its early hours and then never stops losing steam. If the experience were somehow compressed into a tighter six- to eight-hour adventure, I'd confidently recommend it to a wide audience. As it stands, the game has a masterful command of ambience, but it comes with too many caveats.
