UnderMine 2 builds on what made UnderMine great, but makes some significant changes and adds a lot of requested features, such as:

• 2 Player Local Co-op (online via Steam Remote Play)
  Play through the entirety of the game with a friend by your side. UnderMine 2 supports drop in and out co-op with dynamically scaling difficulty. See what new item combos and strategic options open up with two players.
  
  
• Playable Character Classes
  Discover, unlock, and play as different characters including some favorites from UnderMine. Each playable character has unique stats, abilities, upgrades, and relics they can find. Each character significantly alters the feel of the game.
  
  
• Branching Paths
  New regions of the Undermine have been revealed, and each branches off into various other areas. Navigate it to complete builds, quests, and different objectives. Your final challenge depends entirely on your decisions throughout the run.
  
  
• Arcana
  Wield new, interactive relics called Arcana. Each adds a new ability to your character, from casting fireballs to summoning skeleton minions to rearranging time and space. Arcana can make an old character feel new by centering entire builds around their function.
  
  
• Full Mod and Workshop Support
  We’re shipping you the tools we use to make the game and making it as easy as possible to upload and download mods from Steam Workshop. We feel we’ve created a really great technical platform and are excited to share that with you.
  
  
• And a lot more!
  More characters, more zones, more items, and more action all around!
