RedDeer.Games and Josyan have announced that UnderDungeon will release on Nintendo Switch this month.
Pitched as “a peculiar adventure based on the classic dungeon crawlers,” you play as Kimuto who must face the harsh world of work on his first day on the job as a delivery guy.
After monsters appeared and threatened their community, the lives of those who lived in Kutopia radically changed. Heroes emerged who try to hunt down such creatures who work with others to resist them, while others are determined to survive as best they can.
