You can always access the Interface Help by pressing F1 in-game.

This page is intended as a new players' guide to Underrail's interface.

The interface is pretty much what you'd expect from any isometric turn-based RPG, but there are some key differences and concepts that might be different from expected.

Concepts

Utility slots

Combat utility items like grenades and special crossbow bolts must be in the utility slots in order to be used.

Reloading weapons

Hold shift to access the quick weapon reload commands. You can also reload magazines one round at a time.

Action and movement points

Action and Movement points are separate. There's always the option to move even when you have exhausted your APs for the turn.

Radial context menu

Items with multiple different uses have radial context menu. Right-clicking an item in your inventory will open the context menu, or set the default use if the item is in your action bar.

Difficulty

Underrail is an oldschool PC RPG, but combat is not overly difficult unless you are careless - or very unlucky. Always consider your tactical options, don't just rush into every encounter too early and without any planning. Save early and save often!

-Underrail is considered a ''hardcore'' PC game, but combat is not overly difficult unless you are careless - or very unlucky. Always consider your tactical options, don't just rush into every encounter without any planning. Save often and remember that you can return to [[Pasquale]] for free heals if you're low on health, meds and money!

-Resources are scarce, so remember to search and loot every nook and cranny. Investment in various noncombat skills will allow you to make money in many ways, from burglary to turning cheap crafting components into valuable devices. You can also fish or gather mushrooms for some extra cash without any skills.
