Diablo creator is back with another RPG, It Lurks Below.

Veteran game developer David Brevik, most famous for overseeing the creation of Diablo with Blizzard North, is working on another RPG: It Lurks Below.

Is It Lurks Below the love child of Terraria and Diablo?

Well, it does look like it. It Lurks Below will include action-RPG mechanics and tonnes of collectables. However, this is a much smaller affair which was all made by David Brevik himself.

Just like with Terraria and Minecraft, you will be able dig and construct items. Brevik said he plans to continue to work on It Lurks Below, as its sole developer, after its release. It Lurks Below has been in development for about a year. It was originally envisaged as a project of a much larger scope that he said might take 10 years to finish. But he scaled it down and turned his new roguelike dungeon crawler into a simpler indie game that he could make himself.

So, what about the game’s combat? Well, in It Lurks Below combat will be wand-based, with wands functioning in a similar manner to guns.

Brevik has admitted to not being much of an artist, which is why he went for the old-school pixelated aesthetic.
