Dungeon Hiker tasks you with getting out of a deep dungeon without starving to death

  • Dungeon Hiker is an upcoming 3D dungeon crawler
  • Explore and (hopefully) escape from a dungeon
  • Manage your hunger and thirst

Since the era of Ultima Underworld, the ordinary dungeon has transformed from a typical setting for tabletop role-playing games (TTRPGs) into an expansive, labyrinthine, cavernous realm brimming with enigma and excitement. It’s no wonder that games like the forthcoming Dungeon Hiker continue to emerge, offering players the chance to revisit that very same adventure.

The idea of Dungeon Hiker is straightforward: you find yourself imprisoned within a mystifying labyrinth, and your objective is to escape. Along the way, you’ll encounter tunnels, monsters, pitfalls, and other challenges that you must maneuver around. As you progress, you’ll discover divergent paths and various conclusions to the story, which is rich and intricate (unintentional pun removed).

In addition to monitoring your health points (HP), you’ll also have to manage and replenish your hunger, hydration, and exhaustion levels. Remember, you’re stuck in the depths of a dungeon where sustenance isn’t readily available!

Beyond this, the game Dungeon Hiker operates in much the same way as a typical first-person dungeon explorer would. Adopting a card battle system, it requires you to gather resources for crafting new ability cards and gear, which aid you in combating the creatures inhabiting this subterranean labyrinth.

Originating from developer Nekosuko, Dungeon Hiker presents an engaging idea. Nevertheless, Nekosuko’s past projects tend to fall within the lower price range. With Dungeon Hiker scheduled for release on July 20th, we can only hope they will give their all and create a game that truly maximizes this setting and concept!
