Check Out ‘Going Under’ – A Corporate Rogue-Lite

Today a new rogue-lite is coming out on all the platforms you would expect, but the game itself takes place in a setting you wouldn’t expect.

Going Under is a unique game in that the setting is something that you wouldn’t expect from a genre riddled with games with fantasy or sci-fi undertones. Instead, it is set in a corporate office.

You play as a new hire named Jackie Fiasco who now works at the high tech drink company Fizzle. Armed with whatever the office can provide her, she must take down the monstrous mutations of past start-up and CEOs that came before. It looks like a really fun twist on the genre, and we’re excited to give it a go.

Here are the key features of the game from the press release:

Going Under key features:

  • Fight the failures: Battle through the satirical dungeons of procedurally generated remains of failed and cursed tech start-ups underneath the bowels of Fizzle
  • Everything’s a weapon: Potted plants, giant pencils, laptops, and even body pillows are weapons for Jackie as she faces monsters created from the former employees of the failed start-ups
  • Skill up and synergise: Combine skills bought from the company’s (subsidised) café for a selection of blue-sky thinking, monster-beating synergies!
  • Learn from your mentors: Complete tasks for fellow employees, unlock them as mentors, and gain access to their powerful abilities
  • Break the glass ceiling: Overcome the power-crazed CEOs of dungeons based on dating sites, gig economy recruiters, and cryptocurrency to help boost your employer’s bottom line.

And lastly here is the trailer…I mean mandatory training video, for you to better understand your new role in the workplace.

Going Under is out now on the PS4, Xbox One, PC, and the Nintendo Switch. If you’ve had a chance to play the game we would love to hear about it!
