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.
Attack of the Fanboy: 4 / 5 by William Schwartz
Worth the wait, Below is a Rouge lite that doesn't hold your hand and asks you figure out the rules of this world on your own. It makes for a fulfilling, albeit difficult journey.
IGN: 6.9 / 10 by T.J. Hafer
Below is a gorgeous, atmospheric dungeon crawler that is difficult to take in at the pace it deserves because of oppressive survival mechanics.
Windows Central: 3 / 5 by Brendan Lowry
BELOW's graphics and music are nothing short of spectacular, but the incredibly disappointing gameplay experience leaves a lot to be desired.
