Обсуждения игроков
Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийA satirical action roguelite from Aggro Crab (published by Team17) where an unpaid intern fights through dungeons built from failed tech startups, using office junk as breakable weapons.
Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийPlayers rate it Very Positive on Steam (about 90% of roughly 4,175 reviews) and critics were mostly favourable (Metacritic PC 78 from 11 reviews). Almost everyone agrees the art direction, writing and corporate-satire theming are the main draw. The action roguelite gameplay is the weak point: many reviews call the combat sluggish, shallow or janky, and the content thin. Commercially it underperformed: Wikipedia says Aggro Crab cancelled a planned extra dungeon because of poor base game sales. It is a complete, 2020-released game with a post-launch 'Working from Home' update, it is frequently discounted to around $2, and a recommend-on-sale verdict is common even among lukewarm reviewers.
Что хвалят игроки
- Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийSharp, funny satire of startup and gig-economy culture; several reviewers say it has aged well and will trigger flashbacks for anyone who worked at a startup
- Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийDistinctive art direction that turns corporate clip-art/Memphis-style design into something charming rather than soulless, plus a solid soundtrack
- Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийCharming, archetypal cast and witty dialogue; talking to coworkers between runs is a highlight
- Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийEverything-is-a-weapon system: you pick up desks, office supplies and more to swing, throw or shoot, with a varied weapon pool
- Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийGenerous accessibility and difficulty options: an Assist mode and difficulty changes at any time without disabling achievements
- Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийChoose-your-starting-item mechanic avoids runs ruined by a bad first pickup
- Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийGood length that does not overstay its welcome (roughly 10 hours for a casual clear) and runs well, including on Steam Deck
- Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийBoss fights and enemy/dungeon theming (three themed dungeons) praised as creative
Что критикуют игроки
- Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийCombat described as floaty, sluggish and clunky: commitment to attack animations, slow dodges, imprecise hits, and enemies able to stun-lock you
- Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийCluttered, cramped rooms and exploding traps can make damage feel unfair rather than hard, with off-screen enemies hard to spot
- Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийThin content: only three dungeons, and the second half replays them in a hard mode, so many feel they saw everything in the first section
- Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийWeapon durability means weapons break every few fights, which some find tedious rather than fun, and shields on many enemies make this worse late game
- Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийHumour leans on dated memes and references for some reviewers, and characters lack depth
- Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийFinal boss and late game spikes are called out as frustrating or unfair
- Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийKeyboard support is poor: controls cannot be rebound, and the weapon-switch keys are awkward; it plays best on controller
- Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийProgression and unlocks feel unimpactful; runs feel samey and skill descriptions are unclear
- Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийSluggish, poorly optimized menus; one top negative review also says known bugs were never patched
Отличительные особенности
- Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийDungeons are the ruins of failed tech startups, each themed on a parody of a startup archetype
- Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийBreakable office-supply and furniture weapons you can also throw, instead of a fixed weapon loadout
- Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийMentor and coworker bonding system that unlocks abilities, tied into the narrative
- Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийCorporate clip-art aesthetic with a mix of 2D and 3D art and gibberish-style voice work
- Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийNarrative-first roguelite where the satire drives the structure, and the ending is widely praised by fans
- Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийAssist and difficulty toggles that can be changed mid-game without penalty
Спорные моменты
- Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийThe humour and writing: many find it the best part, a minority find it dated, meme-heavy or unfunny
- Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийCombat feel and difficulty: some call it light and accessible, others call it janky or unfair, with Assist mode the usual recommended fix
- Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийWhether the game is a worthwhile roguelite or mostly a narrative/satire experience: several positive reviewers say it is for people who want the theme, not the mechanics
- Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийArt style: praised as distinctive, but a few find it fuzzy or hard to read
Повторы и неудобства
- Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийLong menu and loading sequence between death and the next run
- Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийConstant weapon breakage and needing to spend scarce cash on food and healing in shops
- Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийRepetition: hard mode repeats the same three dungeons, and runs feel similar
- Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийGrinding for unlocks, with many skills described as pointless or unclear, which some players only finish by beating the game before unlocking everything
- Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийDodge and stun-lock frustration when crowds of enemies or explosions pile on in tight rooms
- Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийSlow animations combined with imprecise weapons make fights feel like work
Ожидаемые улучшения
- Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийAdd rebindable controls and better keyboard/mouse defaults, including an option to stop auto-pickup on dodge
- Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийSpeed up the post-run flow: multiple menus and loads before you can restart a run are a frequent complaint
- Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийTune combat: more responsive attacks and dodges, clearer enemy telegraphs, less unavoidable off-screen damage
- Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийMore content and variety: a fourth or fifth dungeon (the cancelled extra dungeon is the obvious gap) and less copy-paste in the hard-mode half
- Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийClearer perk and skill descriptions and more meaningful unlocks
- Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийCamera improvements, or a locked isometric-style view, so furniture and walls do not hide threats
Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийLaunched September 24, 2020 on PC, Switch, PS4 and Xbox One, with physical editions for Switch and PS4 from Limited Run Games. Critics were mostly favourable, with platform Metacritic scores ranging 73 to 81, praising the satire and weapon variety, while a minority such as TheGamer (2.5/5) found the combat repetitive versus Dead Cells or Hades. Post-launch the 'Working from Home' update added weapons and a hard mode, but a planned additional dungeon was cancelled because of weak base sales. Steam lists it at about $2.49 at time of data collection, with estimated 200k to 500k owners and roughly $1.8M gross (Boxleiter-style estimate, order of magnitude only). Recent Steam reviews in 2025 to 2026 remain positive, with some players finding it via Game Pass or sales. Steam is Windows only. OpenCritic score could not be retrieved because the web search budget was exhausted and direct page fetches failed.

Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийTier list Part 1 (2023)
Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийGoing Under is an action dungeon crawler roguelite with a heavy story focus, set in a corporate workplace where you play an intern. Its signature gimmick is that you can pick up almost any object in a room and use it as a weapon. He loves the art, music and humor and had a blast, but sees it as a one-and-done campaign with little reason to return after the story ends. He mentions some bugginess. Overall he recommends it and places it at the high end of B.
