While It Lurks Below may visually resemble other games in the genre, it offers a distinct gameplay experience. It is a true RPG, rich with stats and character classes, reminiscent of other titles by David Brevik such as Diablo, Diablo II, Hellgate: London, and Marvel Heroes. With eight character classes to choose from, randomly generated levels, random item stats, secret areas, bosses, a survival talent tree, and three different play modes, the game provides a unique and varied gaming experience.

Players can choose from a range of character classes, each with its own unique abilities and playstyle. The Bard uses the power of song and screaming in melee combat, while the Cleric offers a mix of melee and ranged attacks with healing capabilities. The Enchanter specializes in ranged attacks with stunning and lightning abilities, and the Necromancer commands undead minions and uses poison and cold damage. The Paladin is a formidable melee character with area effect purification, the Rogue excels in stealth and dual-wielding daggers, the Warrior offers both defensive and offensive stances, and the Wizard harnesses elemental powers with area effect spells.

The game offers different play modes to suit various preferences. The Creative mode allows players to enjoy the game in a relaxed setting without survival mechanics, focusing on building and farming. The Descent mode offers the same difficulty as Survival but without the survival aspect, allowing players to focus on combat and loot. The Survival mode is the original game design, featuring survival mechanics, dungeon challenges, and invasions. Additionally, both Survival and Descent modes have a Hardcore option, where players have only one life.

To thrive in the game, players must gather food, cook, chop trees, dig ore, craft armor, and start a farm. Building up the town is also crucial, as new buildings unlock as players progress deeper into the dungeon. Crafting new armor, rings, and potions will aid in survival and enhance the character's appearance.

It Lurks Below invites players to delve into its depths and discover what truly lurks below. With its unique blend of RPG elements, character customization, and varied gameplay modes, it offers an engaging and challenging experience for fans of the genre.
