What is Underkeep?

Underkeep is a first-person, grid-based dungeon crawler RPG from Rake in Grass that launched on November 5, 2026. It follows the 1990s dungeon-crawling tradition: you assemble a party of four adventurers, move tile by tile through handcrafted dungeons, and fight tactical turn-based battles.

The game pairs six races and seven classes with roughly 70 skills, plus equipment, food and rest management, hidden passages, optional bosses, puzzles, and a personal automap. The campaign is built to run about 15 to 20 hours, and the difficulty can be changed at any point during a run.

Underkeep Beginner Guide

A first-hour roadmap for new adventurers: build the party, learn the grid controls, and set up the habits that keep a run alive.

1Create four heroes by choosing a race, class, name, and portrait; the opening screen does not ask for point distribution.
2Pick Easy, Normal, or Hard. The setting mainly changes combat and can be switched at any point in the run.
3Move with WASD plus Q and E, or the arrow keys, and open the automap with M; every key can be remapped under Options.
4Turn off move animation, clear the item tooltip delay, and enable items behind objects for smoother exploration.
5Cover both rows: durable heroes in front, ranged or spell options behind, plus at least one healer.
6Stock food before resting. Resting restores the whole party but consumes food and is blocked while enemies are nearby.

Underkeep Best Party Guide

Three proven four-hero compositions built around front-row durability, back-row reach, and status coverage.

S Tier

Classic balance: Warrior and Paladin hold the front while Wizard and Voidcaller supply burst, barriers, and healing.

A Tier

Hunter's Pack: Warrior and Thief build marks up front while the Ranger and Blood Mage focus one target down.

B Tier

Holy Order: Paladin and Thief stall while Voidcaller and Wizard shift elements to match the dungeon.

C Tier

Race swaps: Human and Dwarf are the safest picks, while Raven needs a mutation check right after creation.

Underkeep Combat Guide

A round-by-round checklist for turn order, target priority, positioning, and resource management in grid battles.

1Read the grid before acting: check lanes, enemy count, and which tiles control access to your back row.
2Pick the real threat by switching targets to silence casters and ranged enemies first.
3Spend mana on purpose. Treat spells as finishers and control tools, then fall back to basic attacks.
4After the enemy turn, heal the weakest hero, clear status effects, and restore the formation.
5Reset at the end of a fight by checking mana, stamina, and food before the next encounter.
