From the iconic days of Ultima Underworld, the dungeon has evolved from a simple tabletop RPG setting into a vast, sprawling world of mystery and adventure. It's no wonder that we continue to see new releases like the upcoming Dungeon Hiker, which aims to recapture that thrilling experience.
The core idea of Dungeon Hiker is straightforward yet engaging: you're trapped within a mysterious dungeon and your primary goal is to escape. Along the way, you'll encounter tunnels, monsters, traps, and various obstacles that you must navigate. As you delve deeper into the dungeon, you'll discover branching paths and multiple endings, adding layers to a rich and immersive story.
Surviving in Dungeon Hiker isn't just about overcoming physical challenges. In addition to managing your health points (HP), you must also keep an eye on your hunger, thirst, and fatigue levels. Being trapped deep underground means resources like food are scarce, making survival a constant balancing act.
**Dungeoneering**
As a first-person dungeon crawler, Dungeon Hiker operates much like you'd expect. It incorporates a card battler system where you collect materials to craft new skill cards and equipment, essential for battling the dungeon's monstrous inhabitants.
Developed by Nekosuko, Dungeon Hiker boasts an intriguing premise. While Nekosuko's past projects have been on the more budget-friendly side, there's hope that with the game's release scheduled for July 20th, they'll step up their game and fully leverage the potential of this setting and concept.
