About This Game It Lurks Below is a retro-styled, 2D, action-oriented, survival RPG by David Brevik. Create a custom character and choose from several different classes to delve deep into the mysteries of what evil lurks below. Dig down and explore the randomly generated levels, find random items, and combat deadly monsters to get the answers.Though this game looks similar to other games in the genre, it plays very differently. It is a true RPG, with many stats and character classes. It is very reminiscent of other games made by David Brevik such as Diablo, Diablo II, Hellgate: London and Marvel Heroes. With eight character classes to choose from, randomly generated levels, random stats on items, secret areas, bosses, a survival talent tree and three different play modes, it delivers a very different and unique gaming experience.Are you ready to find out what Lurks Below?CREATE YOUR CHARACTERBard (melee) - Wield the power of song and screaming to best your foes in battle. With trusty sword and shield and specializing in passive area effect damage and buffs, the bard is a force of nature in the battle field. ⠀⠀ Cleric (melee + ranged) - Come prepared for battle with heavy armor and plenty of healing power. Choose to fight with a mace and shield or a ranged wand. The cleric is the only class who is given this choice. Paired with its high survive-ability, it is the class that will outlive all others. ⠀⠀ Enchanter (ranged) - Stun and lighting are the enchanters tools of choice. What better way to avoid damage than stopping enemies in their tracks. If that wasn't enough, the enchanter can wield the power of illusion and turn into a wisp and fly away.⠀⠀ Necromancer (ranged) - Wielding the skulls of the dead as undead minions, marks the necromancer as the games resident pet class. Pair this with powerful poison and cold damage and self buffs, means the necromancer is an undead friendly powerhouse. ⠀⠀ Paladin (melee) - Dashing into combat wielding a powerful two handed sword or hammer makes the paladin one of the most formidable melee characters in the game. Consecrating the ground, area effect purification and damage are just a few of the tools this powerful holy warrior brings to the table. ⠀⠀ Rogue (melee) - Slip past enemies by hiding in the shadows and then when the moment is right, stab them with the rogue's powerful dual wielding daggers. ⠀⠀ Warrior (melee) - Decide between defensive stance and offensive stance; both make the warrior an incredible beast in battle. While defensive stance focuses on survive-ability and offensive stance focuses on damage, both are incredibly satisfying, especially combined with the warriors whirlwind ability. ⠀⠀ Wizard (ranged) - Harnessing the power of the elements through powerful area affect spells make the wizard an unstoppable elemental force. Their spell set is rounded out with a drake companion and teleport. ⠀⠀⠀CHOOSE YOUR GAME STYLE⠀⠀Creative - Enjoy all the game has to offer in more relaxed setting. No need to worry about survival mechanics, though still have the benefit of the survival tree. Many of the recipes and building supplies are already unlocked, which makes it much easier to languish in the joy of building and farming the whole surface. With no invasions to worry about, the only monsters that will be encountered are below in the dungeon. Descent - Same difficulty as Survival, just without the survival aspect. For anyone interested in just thrashing monsters and getting all the loot. No survival tree, no hunger, and no fatigue.Survival - This is the original game design mode. Not that this makes the other modes any less valid, but most of the game is designed with Survival Mode in mind. This includes all the bells and whistles of surviving and the survival tree, paired with difficult dungeon challenges and plenty of invasions. Hardcore - Both Survival and Descent have a hardcore option. This doesn't change anything about the particular mode other than you get only one death.Choose what works best for you! There are no wrong choices!FEW LAST TIPS!Surviving is rough out here (unless you are playing Descent, in which case, learn to make potions!). Make sure to grab all the food you can find, cook your vegetable, chop down trees, dig up ore, craft some new armor, and start your farm.⠀⠀One last thing that will help with survival, inventory space and your characters fabulous look is to build up your town. Many new buildings will become unlocked as you travel further into the dungeon; don't forget to build them. And while you are at it, you might as well craft yourself some new armor as well. Oh and maybe a ring...and some potions.⠀⠀Now you are truly ready! We hope you enjoy the game as much as we did creating it! 7aa9394dea Title: It Lurks BelowGenre: Action, Indie, RPGDeveloper:Graybeard GamesPublisher:Graybeard GamesRelease Date: 29 May, 2019 Download It Lurks Below First off, I honestly feel like I have not played the game enough but here I am anyway. Next, ILB only launched because of lack of funds so while it is finished to a certain degree the creator is not done with it yet and so what I am saying now won't be very accurate in a couple years.So, Pros and Cons as I consider them.Pros: The devs have a livestream that starts around 11:45PM US central standard time, you can ask all you want there. They also have a official discord you can go to as well.Devs are still working on the game with mentions of multiplayer and skill trees for abilities and other things.The flow of gameplay is very nice early on and it doesn't feel like I have to grind away at mobs to get to items and levels until nightmare difficulty, so about level 37 for your information.ILB has much of the elements I love from terraria and ARPGs and makes it work.Very smooth FPS, I could run this and still have decent FPS on my trash laptop that can sort of use microsoft edge.Has plenty of game modes that allows me to play however I want.So many classes that even 16 hours in the game I cant play them all and get through to the first boss.Cons: Devs are still working on the game but sadly this means waiting for their work to be done and that could be a long time before what we want is in the game.You have to save and quit from your game and go to the main menu in order to use the options menu, it doesn't take long but still annoying.You can't skip the tutorial and it gets really annoying after the first few times.It feels very time consuming to get through the beginning in my opinion and that can be frustrating to someone like me who just wants to get into the meat of things and kill hordes of monsters.In summary: It is a decent game that has a lot of good stuff in it and more on the way but it is somewhat unpolished and needs some time before it is a truly amazing game.. I used to say i would never play a game like this with the 2D world, But when i was told David Brevik made it one of the founding fathers of Diablo i just had to try it and WoW was i surprised as how addicting this game can be and i cant wait to see how much farther he takes it. Well worth the price in my opinion. Great game that's been a lot of fun to play throughout the many updates David has made to the game.There's a lot to be said about how it's very unique and different from other games many will quickly compare it to.I don't have a ton of hours as you can see because I decided to wait until full launch and jump back in. Glad to see that time is now.. David Brevik is the kind of developer that made me fall in love with Blizzard and spend so many of my hours on Diablo 2. I've been playing Path of Exile since closed beta, and ILB is another game that scratches that ARPG itch so wonderfully. I enjoyed Starbound quite a bit and this is really a wonderful game with a fantastic community. You only need to watch one stream of David and his wife JQ to see the passion they have for the game. It's come a long way since the early access days, and there's so much more to come! Incredible game given that there is only one developer.. Super fun and satisfying! Good amount of customizations and a ton of loot. Not to mention crafting and building possibilities. Multiple game modes (including a Creative mode) and lot of replayability. The Developer is awesome. The Breviks are just awesome.Highly recommend this game!.

It Lurks Below is an amazing game, and you should buy it.One man dev team, Diablo-like progression and gearing, Starbound aesthetic ... shall I continue? David Brevik has accomplished something amazing with ILB. There's no shortage of charm or love in this game because he has built it from the ground up -- that includes teaching himself pixel art. I even had the privilege to talk with Mr. Brevik about some behind-the-scenes stuff that made me appreciate the final product even more.Just started a new mancer toon, and I'm still having a blast. Please support good games and buy this thing!
