Roguelike games have become popular in recent years and luckily we can find some good examples of this genre in nearly every single month. While they are both enjoyable and have the capacity of offering huge amount of gameplay time, they are also very suitable for live stream.

And today we will be looking into The Land Beneath Us, which is a new indie roguelike title combined with turn based strategy and pixel art design.

Battle your way through the underworld called Annwn

The Land Beneath Us is a roguelike game which is combined with turn based combat and beautiful pixel art design. You will be controlling a character who is able to only move four ways and deciding your moves and equipments each run of The Land Beneath Us.

As a roguelike game and a strategy turn based game, The Land Beneath Us is enjoyable and the system of the game works perfect. After finishing a run, you will be eager to play the next and prepared for what’s coming for you. I loved handling enemies with different weapons and moves on each run.

Roguelike games are perfectly suitable for live streams as they are able to offer you a nonstop enjoyment with your audience. You can always start another round and if you bore quickly then you can just close the game. And The Land Beneath Us is a great example of roguelike game and its turn based combat system makes it special and worth to play.

You will always be thinking about your next move, next run and what gun or special ability combinations you will use. One run you will be wanting to fight in close combat, in another ranged, and in another one you will combine them until you defeat the bosses.

With this fresh and enjoyable gameplay of The Land Beneath Us, not only you enjoy, but also your audience will run up against some of the situations where you will be deciding which moves to use to keep going forward. Although you memorize some of the details, you still enjoy the main gameplay of the game after hours.

Uncover the truth of The Land Beneath Us

Although The Land Beneath Us doesn’t come forward with its story, the humor of the game made me smile many times. And also there are choices to change the storyline but still I’m not sure The Land Beneath Us is suitable for those who are searching games that only focused in the story but in the end, the interlude dialogues are still fun to listen.

And also the art design of The Land Beneath Us looks amazing, as it uses pixel art and its roots are based on Welsh mythology. Combined with a great looking character and environment design, even only watching the game screen is enjoyable.

About replayability, The Land Beneath Us not only offers a gameplay which is replayable, as its a rogulike game, but also it makes a streamers job easier to create different stream chains as you can open and play the game whenever you want. The Land Beneath Us won’t let you down in the middle of a live stream.

I’ve tested The Land Beneath Us’s PC version on STEAM and it works perfectly fine. It works amazing even in scenes where particules are flying around on a high resolution. You don’t need to worry about its performance.
