Early Access Review
Easily my favourite DAC game after many hours spent playing the original DAC and the mobile Drodo Version.

It took me a little getting used to when i first started Underlords, but now it's absolutely my favourite of the genre. What sets it apart for me is the neutral round rewards of the race / class bonus passives you can choose instead of an item. For example you can choose "Battle Hardened" which causes each of your "Brawny" units to gain 50hp at the start of the round for every unit they've killed... which resulted in me having an 8khp beast master at one point, or another being "Soul Sucking" which makes any unit standing next to a warlock heal for 25% of damage dealt by items or abilities (includes the warlock themselves).

I also found out that if you get REALLY lucky and get 2 of the same passive from neutral rounds, they stack, so i had 2 Soul Sucking and my units were healing for 50% of the damage of their abilities and items, which was great for my radiance doom!

When i'm not playing the game i'm thinking about comps i want to try out, or units i'd like to build around, or new setups i'd like to try depending on what sort of neutral passives i get from creep rounds. They really do add another layer to the game, and let comps that would ordinarily be meh, become really strong.

Also the ability to start a game on the PC, then switch to your phone to go play on the sofa / bed, and connect to the same game and continue where you left off, is just brilliant. Need to go to the toilet mid-game but don't want to miss out on potential units from the shop that turn? Underlords has you covered!

10/10 cannot recommend enough!
