Under the Island review – A 2D action RPG with old-school roots but a playful new spirit

There’s something immediately inviting about Seashell Island. Its colorful biomes, offbeat residents, and puzzle-packed ruins make it feel like a dream destination for any tropical vacation. But soon after Under the Island begins, any rest and relaxation quickly turns into a mission to save the island from slipping away entirely. In Under the Island , a new 2D action-adventure RPG out of Slime King Games, you play as Nia, a girl who moves to Seashell Island with her archeologist parents while they study the island’s mysterious ruins.
