If you can dig it, you’ll like this side-scroller Minecraft-like digging game. It’s the future, and robots have taken over Earth. What’s left of the human race can be found deep underground in the ‘Old World’.
\nYou play as Rusty, a robot heading to a dusty small town to meet his Uncle who’s the town miner and the only source of income for this town. However, he hasn’t been seen in months and When you arrive, the ground drops from under you.
\nWhen you recover, you realize you’re trapped. But then comes someone that’s willing to help you out. All you need to do is find a pickaxe.<\/p>\n
You find your uncle… he’s unfortunately passed away, leaving you in charge of his mining legacy! So go, dig through the earth, sell goods, upgrade your pickaxe. Get powerups. … And discover a hidden civilization. This also has a hilarious easter egg.

\nSpeaking of which, is there freeplay after the main questline? Well… Yes and No. As in.. No, you can’t go back to mining after completing the game, but you can reload a save to before doing so and continue to mine. So, it’s kind of like the way Fallout New Vegas does its ending.<\/p>\n
\nAnd so, that’s it for this game. I like it, and I like the Half-Life themed things.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
