Build and defend an alien-infested mining outpost by placing towers and managing limited resources across escalating waves. This idle tower defense hybrid demands careful resource allocation and strategic upgrades to survive increasingly difficult onslaughts, though progression pacing can feel punishing during early runs.
About this game
Build & defend a small remote mining base on Taichin XI from the alien hordes. Deploy defenses, upgrade your turrets and get ready for the nightfall. The Unearthened is a classic Idle Tower Defense game where you build towers and prepare for the invasion.

Sorry to drop the hammer, but I feel like this game suffers the same issues as 'until we die', where progress per time is minimal, wiggle room is non-existent, and every 'breather' option is more or less still just signing your death waiver, albeit with it being longer, more painful.
The only positive review? Guess how many games they have reviewed... yep, just this one.
Ok.... it's bad. It is a free Alpha at best. Even free I would say to wait a few months. Your first 3 runs are trying to get the building mix right in the first minute. The next run gets that right..... then you wait for 15 minutes to get another building. Which you find out your ratio of 3/4/4, should have been 4/3/4, so you die (of boredom). In that 15 minutes your turrets massacre everything, so there is literally nothing to do. The UI is pretty bad. You can hover over a resource (of which there is one...) AND a building "destroy" button. Obviously the destroy button doesn't have a confirmation... so you die. You can't place buildings while paused. You can't adjust the resolution. You can't run it windowed. The building/turret/research buttons will scroll the screen, but only if you try to click the bottom half... You can run one of 2 versions... I guess, as it is not explained and they are not labeled.
This is a minor hot fix that adds one more setting and adjusts a few things. Adjusted death sfx to be softer Adjusted tooltip durationChanged version info text positionNew setting - Letter Box
