Soldak Entertainment has released several new screenshots for Kivi's Underworld, the company's upcoming action RPG title. Described as a casual hack and slash game, Kivi allows players to adventure as one of 20 character classes against a variety of dangerous foes.

It all starts after a mining expedition, led by Kivi (a young lumen warrior), ventured into unknown territory, and opened a pathway to a deadly race. Dark elves decimated them. Kivi is the lone survivor, yet no one believes him about the new threat, since dark elves are just a myth. Kivi was there; he saw. The dark elves are real and his people are in great danger. Reluctantly, Kivi realizes that it is up to him.

Playing as Kivi or any of his companions, you leave the safety of the protected, underground cities to rebuild the lost city of Defiance, recruit more lumen to your cause, and defeat this growing dark elf threat, before they destroy your homeland and all of your kind. The fate of the lumen is in your hands. Can you save the lumen people?

Although very easy to learn, mastering Kivi's Underworld is a different matter. With a fast pace, twenty playable characters, tons of powerups, many monsters using unique tactics and skills, numerous deadly traps, and multiple difficulty levels, even an expert player will be challenged.

I'm loving what this game looks like and represents. A new take on a quick RPG where you start with pre-determined characters, graphics that certainly look as good as Diablo II, simple playability, and an editor that Steven has said will be a blast to use by simply "snapping" together terrain and tiles to quickly create torturous dungeons to share with others. Very excited.

This was Steven's exact email to me about the editor (yes, Eric, I was pestering the man) ...

"In Kivi's Underworld though, you build full levels so it is a bit more like what people are used to [compared to the Depths of peril SDK one]. The editor is pretty easy to use. You mostly just lay down tiles and objects. The interesting part is how you layout all of the objects. There are a ton of different type of objects to lay down like monsters, traps, keys, doors, secrets, items, chests, triggers, walls, other environmental objects, and probably more things that I have forgotten about. I think with Kivi, we will get a lot of gamers making some cool levels/adventures."

I'd pre-order this game right now if I could.
