About UnderMine
UnderMine is an action‑adventure roguelike where each descent into the mine ends with death, but gold collected can be spent on permanent upgrades that affect future attempts. The game mixes combat, dungeon crawling, and RPG‑style progression with a lighthearted story about Delvemore peasants.
Hundreds of items—relics, potions, blessings, and curses—appear behind statues, rocks, and walls, creating new combos each run. Dangerous bosses guard each area, and rescuing characters in the hub grants upgrades that persist across runs.
01 / THE GUIDE
Run‑Based Progression
A run starts in the mine’s hub and proceeds floor by floor, fighting enemies and gathering gold. When the player dies, the run ends, but the gold can be used to buy permanent upgrades for later attempts.
These upgrades influence subsequent descents, encouraging repeated play as each new run offers fresh item combinations and challenges that feel distinct from previous attempts.
- Spend gold on different upgrades each run to see how they change your survivability.
- Observe which floor layouts yield the most gold before encountering a boss.
02 / THE GUIDE
Relics, Potions, Blessings, and Curses
Each floor hides relics, potions, blessings, and curses behind statues, rocks, and walls. These items stack and combo, altering combat and exploration in noticeable ways.
Because the items interact, every run can feel different as players experiment with new combinations to become a “god peasant of destruction.”
- Try pairing items that boost similar stats to maximize stacking effects.
- Note which curses limit your options and plan around them.

Boss Challenges
Every area contains at least one boss that tests planning, patience, strategy, and skill. Preparing with appropriate items is essential before entering these fights.
Each area's deadly boss tests your preparation, and exploring the mine's floors reveals story bits hidden behind statues, rocks, and walls.
- Enter a boss room with a balanced mix of offensive and defensive items.
- Review the boss’s attack pattern on early attempts to refine your approach.

Rescuing Characters for Upgrades
Friendly (and some unfriendly) characters appear throughout the mine. Returning them safely to the hub unlocks powerful upgrades usable in future runs.
These rescued characters also expand the narrative, providing new dialogue and story context as the player progresses.
- Prioritize rescuing characters early to gain upgrades before tougher floors appear.
- Listen to each character’s dialogue for hints about the upgrades they offer.
