Expands and improves on the first game with more content, mechanics, missions, and deeper storytelling.
Engaging core gameplay loop combining mining, combat, and progression that is satisfying and addictive.
Beautiful pixel art style, immersive world building, and atmospheric soundtrack enhance the experience.

Gameplay becomes repetitive and grindy due to mission-based structure, limited map variety, and slow progression.
Combat and enemy encounters, especially inside mines, often feel unchallenging, tedious, or poorly balanced.
Upgrade system can be confusing and often leads to useless or redundant items; forced resets and resource sinks frustrate players.

The story in this sequel expands on the lore of the first game with a more structured, mission-based progression that intertwines objectives and narrative elements. While some players appreciate the deeper world-building and continuation of the plot, many criticize the story for being slow, scattered, or uninspiring, with repetitive missions and grind-heavy gameplay diluting the overall narrative experience. The shift from open exploration to discrete missions has polarized opinion, as it offers clearer story progression but at the cost of immersion and variety.
- “A massive yes, a massive upgrade compared to the first one, can customise your runs depending upon mission objectives.”
- “I'm probably not very far into the actual plot line yet, but it's a solid sci-fi narrative with quirky pixel art characters, mysterious scientists / "other" humans, and menacing alien antagonists.”
- “If you want to discover more about the story and world I can confidently recommend it.”
- “The story is boring and takes too long, too linear and too bland.”
- “The new mission structure ends up making the gameplay extremely tedious.”
- “Instead of feeling like an explorer, bravely climbing where no one has gone before, you repeat the same missions in the same environments, complete the research bar, do one special mission, then rinse and repeat.”

The gameplay expands on the first game’s core mining and combat loop with more upgrades, mechanics, and mission structure, offering initial enjoyment and variety. However, many reviewers found the progression repetitive, grind-heavy, and simplified by overpowered upgrades, leading to a tedious and less engaging experience over time. While the added mechanics and story elements add some depth, pacing issues and lack of meaningful variety in missions and upgrades detract from sustained player engagement.
- “One of the best gameplay loops was the push and pull of going further in the mine for just a little more loot versus the threat of the Zygex raids.”
- “The procedurally generated mines, new biomes, and upgraded combat mechanics make exploration and mining more engaging than ever.”
- “Takes all the fun, addicting gameplay of the first game and gives it lots more room to grow in with lots more upgrade options, terrain, enemies, etc.”
- “Breaking blocks turns into a mind-numbing slog which gets worse by the need for upgrades in block-breaking speed, which comprises most of the gameplay on its own; then breaking blocks becomes trivial.”
- “The new mission structure ends up making the gameplay extremely tedious.”
- “Gameplay-wise this doesn't really feel like a sequel to an already great game; even considering that upgrades need to be gradually acquired it just feels like the sequel is focusing on the wrong aspects where missions (gameplay based on levels/smaller sections) and consumables (basically single-use upgrades which create a resource sink rather than something like being able to choose from purchased modules) simply feel out of place.”
grinding

Reviews consistently highlight that grinding in the game feels excessive and tedious, often slowing progression and making core activities like mining and resource gathering less enjoyable. Many players find the added enemies and mission structure increase the grindiness compared to the first game, leading to repetitive gameplay that can become frustrating and detract from the overall experience. However, some note that the grind improves after a few hours and may appeal to players who enjoy grind-heavy games.
- “Just a great game to play, feels rewarding with every run, and not tedious.”
- “The grind is a tad on the grindy side and I would love some more permanent upgrades, but other than those small complaints the rest is a fantastic game for me.”
- “The game is just too bloated with pointless grinding.”
- “Having to also deal with enemies and hazards in the caves makes the core gameplay of mining and resource gathering even slower and more tedious.”
- “There are now enemies in the mines that you gotta fight yourself rather than with your spider, adding a whole new layer of unnecessary grindy-ness.”

The graphics maintain a charming, pixel art style consistent with the first game, featuring pleasant visuals and smooth animations that effectively bring the world to life. While some users note a lack of significant graphical improvements and occasional glitches, others appreciate the aesthetic continuity and consider the visuals a strong, atmospheric asset of the game. Overall, the art style is well-received, though some feel it leans toward simplicity and could benefit from more animation and detail.
- “The controls are intuitive, and the colorful graphics bring the world to life.”
- “Lovely pixel art graphics again.”
- “More of the good thing with increased number of mechanics, meta, smaller missions, new upgrades, biomes, improved graphics.”
- “The graphics have not improved at all from the first game, which would be fine if the game had other obvious improvements, but so far, it hasn't, so this also stands out.”
- “Main town has almost no animation and graphics; objects feel simple and don't add any of the 'exploration' that is suggested in the trailer.”
- “With an uninspiring story, doing away with many of the mechanics of WW1, using way too simplified lazy graphics and animation design (compared to WW1) and seemingly without any idea of how to make the sequel to a good game enjoyable, challenging, and progressing.”

The music is generally praised for its quality and fitting atmosphere, with many highlighting it as a standout feature that enhances the game's immersion and enjoyment. However, some users note a lack of variety, mentioning a limited number of tracks and frequent reuse that slightly detracts from the experience. Overall, the soundtrack is considered strong and contributes significantly to the game's ambiance.
- “The soundtrack contributes so much.”
- “That said, it's a beautiful game with great music and pretty solid mechanics, and there's quite a lot of fun to be had in here.”
- “The world looks beautiful, the music fits perfectly, and upgrades keep every run exciting.”
- “The music feels like there are only 5 tracks in the entire OST.”
- “Even the ending had music you could hear elsewhere, taking away from immersion.”
- “Two guns look exactly the same, 2/3 of the last area you unlock is just recycled content from other regions, the music feels repetitive.”
stability

The game is plagued by frequent bugs and stability issues, including crashes and freezing that can result in lost progress. However, while the experience is often frustrating, the developers are actively addressing these problems through quick fixes and good communication with players. Despite its instability, many consider it a worthy sequel with potential once the glitches are resolved.
- “After not even 1 hour of gameplay, this game completely freezes my PC.”
- “Every time I play this particular mission and get through 1-2 caves and advance further, the game suddenly freezes, I need to reboot and the mission progress is lost.”
- “This one is mediocre, very buggy and the most annoying thing is: it's not finished!”

The atmosphere is widely praised for its engaging, immersive, and mysterious qualities, enhanced by beautiful visuals, ambient soundtrack, and a cohesive world that deepens the game's identity compared to its predecessor. Players appreciate how the setting complements the gameplay and story, creating a compelling experience that keeps them invested despite pacing challenges.
- “I love the beautiful atmosphere and the ambience of this whole setting.”
- “Instead of runs feeling isolated, each descent now feels like a contribution to a much larger, shared battle for survival, which gives the game an identity that surpasses the first title’s more solitary atmosphere.”
- “The atmosphere itself: a mysterious world full of questions begging to be answered.”
humor

The humor in the game is described as unintentional and arises mainly from stressful or absurd gameplay moments rather than deliberate comedic elements. Players find some aspects amusing in a "stressful" or ironic way, but overall the humor is overshadowed by frustrations with game balance and design flaws.
- “The mining loop feels smooth, the upgrades actually matter, and the little rush you get trying to make it back to your mech before enemies show up is kind of hilarious in a stressful way.”
- “Main gameplay loop: [you are landing][you connect to mine, slowly drill and vacuum it][you upgrade your gear, drill more][you run back and forth because starting for 2nd location you get a lot gadget, many of them are useless garbage] (especially notorious is proton trace, it leaves a damaging zyrex trace behind your miners, but damage is [no opportunity to test] and zyrex are either ranged or rammers that move until they meet a wall or t1 weakest spiky dude) [you move to next mine because this one is too slow to mine][you upgrade your weapon and fight your first wave][you break through the clouds and repeat it, but this time you drill to the bottom] funny detail, bulk vacuum is no longer a viable strategy, as a crutch in every not tiny sized mine starting from second location you have anomalies that you can stimulate with your drill and after that it would open and teleport you to the spider.”
- “After updates I do want to make runs one after another (kinda funny that they overdid it a little with lowering difficulty at a certain point of progression).”

The game suffers from poor optimization, particularly with particle effects causing performance issues. While some players report performance bugs, others experience smooth gameplay, though menu responsiveness during frequent upgrades could be improved.
- “I have seen some reviews that say the game had performance bugs, but I got it on opening day and seemed to have missed any bugs at all in this category.”
- “Game is poorly optimized for the amount of particles on screen.”
- “This isn't really a problem of the levels, or even the enemies, it's an issue with optimization of choice.”
- “With how often you find upgrades, the performance of the menu to upgrade them could use some work.”

monetization

- “Feels like a cheap cash grab since they recycled everything from the first game.”
- “I anticipated this game to take the ideas in that game and push them, but this feels like a cash grab almost.”
