Deep Down the Dwarven Mines in Below the Stone

From tin and copper to the ultra-hard rock holding platinum, not to mention the goodies found in chests inside goblin and skeleton-infested ruins, it’s almost a dwarven paradise aside from the ever-present risk of death.  New characters found in the deeper areas come back to the kingdom to offer new services, and the new biomes offer better materials to craft ever-more-powerful equipment.  It’s a cycle of exploration and survival in Below the Stone, and there isn’t a dwarf alive who wouldn’t mine the caves for every bit of loot they hold.

Check it out!

Below the Stone continues the dwarven tradition of mining on Linux

Below the Stone dwarf roguelite games due to get support for Linux with Windows PC. Thanks to developer Strollart. Due to make its way onto Steam next year. Strollart’s Below the Stone is a back to the past hand drawn roguelike arriving in 2022. Due to be published by Apogee Entertainment. While inviting treasure seekers to join the Explorer’s Guild of Draggas as an apprentice dwarf. Who is also continuing the sacred dwarven tradition of mining. Descend into procedurally generated, pixel art biomes, while you dig for treasure and ore. All to obtain crucial upgrades for the next run. You will also discover the hidden world underneath the stone. Explore carefully, for anything earned in the mine is lost forever upon a Depth Dweller’s demise. That risk of demise will also be making a Linux debut. According to a recent email from Strollart.

It is extremely likely we'll have Linux support since we are using Unity3D! I'm sure you know Unity's flexibility when it comes to porting!

Strollart also mentions the support of their publisher, Apogee Entertainment. Who are due to help with porting if they hit roadblocks with the Linux build. So of course, being that this is early in the development process, details of a day one release are not available. But it's also a pleasure to see the developer focusing on Linux. And the project is also coming back to Kickstarter soon.

Below The Stone Trailer

Below The Stone is a vicious roguelite about the cost of progress. Since every corner could lie treasure or death. Dwarves like yourself enter the dangerous underground, putting your life on the line. Doing so for the sake of something greater than yourself, the might and power of the Dwarven Kingdom. Where your life is only as valuable as what you bring back. So don’t go dying on us, green beard! You’ll be sent below the surface to collect metal and precious gems that your kin request of you. However, you can keep any extra you gain-- make a new pickaxe, a sword, some armor. Whatever increases your odds of coming back on your next trip! For more information on Strollart’s underground tale of dwarven expedition. Be sure to check out the official website, and follow the studio on their website, Twitter, and Discord. You can also Wishlist the game on Steam as well.
