Overview
Kivi's Underworld has a unique progression system that derives from other computer ARPGs of the time.

After completing a level, the player earns points that can be used to upgrade stats that can affect all characters at once.[2]
Reception
Since its release, the game has generally been received warmly by reviewers and gamers, being labeled pretty much like DoP (Depths of Peril), with a more straight dungeon-hacking focus. One bonus that Kivi's Underworld has is multiplayer which was most likely created for the fans who wanted one in Depths of Peril.
Modding
Soldak Entertainment has also released a modding SDK for Kivi's Underworld. There are only a few basic mods that have been made most of which translate the game into a different language.
