Premature Evaluation is the weekly column in which we explore the wilds of early access. This week, Fraser s looking into what lurks below in It Lurks Below. What is It? What does It want? Is It responsible for all my missing underwear?
I m pretty fond of Terraria, and even more so of Starbound, so It Lurks Below piqued my interest with only a couple of screenshots. It s unashamedly a miniature Terraria, where heroes dig deep into the ground in search of treasure, fight monsters and nurture a fantasy village. It s also David Diablo Dad Brevik s first solo project, who s used his action RPG expertise to occasionally nudge it in a different direction. It could do with a few more nudges.
