Back in June I reviewed Underworlds, a role-playing adventure game for the iPhone. In the review I mentioned a few niggles with the game, including:

• Short play time
• Linear game play
• A single character class
• The limit of 10 character levels
• Fiddly movement controls

Since then, Pixel Mine have released a free update to Underworlds that addresses practically all of these issues. I have to say I’m impressed, considering it was a free update. What’s more they’ve even lowered the price of the full app from $5 to $3!

The new version has:

• More than double the content
• A new city (called Termon) and lots more dungeons to explore
• A higher level cap (raised to 50) so you can grow your character more
• Thousands of new items, as well as new quests and creatures
• A revamped interface with better controls
• A quest log so that you can remember what you’re supposed to be doing
• A mini-map overlay in the dungeons so you don’t get lost
