Tolkien's (and particularly dwarves) fans will be happy to play The Lord of the Rings Return to Moria, which is a survival game that essentially offers a cooperative multiplayer experience (although it can be played solo). Everything takes place in the depths of the mines of Moria (of course). Which is not the most welcoming place I know. The game will feature base building, grinding, survival with combat, character customisation, lots of exploration, and hopefully a lore worthy of The Lord of the Rings... A lot of parameters will have to be taken into account to survive: hunger, thirst, body temperature, noise pollution, light (of course)... which promises to be interesting!
TLotR Return to Moria will be an action-adventure survival title that follows the dwarven race as they try to reclaim and rebuild Moria, beneath the Misty Mountains. The game will have base building, crafting and resource management like many other survivals and as we go deeper in the environments better the loot but also more dangerous it will be. With character creation and a procedurally generated world each run will be different than the previous. The potential within this idea is great and I hope that a good game will come out since I love LotR and enjoy some types of survival games.
Set after the War of the Ring which has protagonist the fellowship of the Ring lead by Frodo Baggins which took place in the Third Age, Return to Moria is instead set in the Fourth Age , The Age of Man, after the defeat of Sauron and his allies forces being repelled and the orcs forces now dwindling, it's finally time for the Dwarves to retake control of Moria! Published by North Beach Games and developed by the team at Free Range Games, Return to Moria is an adventure survival game and a survival game at his core with co-op implementation. Here we'll take roles as Dwarves, that with an edict by (the beloved) Gimli Stormbearer, now a Lord, we'll have the chance to retake our homes by repelling and defeating the last forces of the Orcs. Now without a strong leader to guide them, have fragmentated into small tribes with various relationship to one other that ad we'll discover their fate after the events in the LOTR. All set in a procedurally generated map, that has the key and important places mentioned often in the books like Balin's Tomb, Durin's Bridge and many more. With a keen eye and dedication to Tolkien's work, the team has based and researched into implementing a Dwarven language, scattered throughout the Mine and used by the Dwarves. This kind of love is also implemented further into gameplay elements, just like the noise mechanic, where making too much noise by mining, crafting and looting we may attract Orcs, thus leading to intense fights. Exploration is also the key for surviving, as strong and rare loots, rare resources and ancient tomes are scattered throughout Moria just waiting to be obtained, and likely interesting pieces of lore to be discovered! With both enchanting and crafting at their disposals, player will be able to combine them both to aid at their exploration! With a seemingly co-op implementation to boot, The Lord of the Rings Return to Moria is quite the interesting release, and something worth keeping an eye on.
A survival crafting game set in the Lord of the Rings universe, which is probably the richest lore that exists. You play from the perspective of the dwarves and have to delve into the procedurally generated mines that are different on each playthrough. While mining, you have to be careful not to make too much noise, lest you attract dangers from the deep. At the same time, you have to monitor hunger, sleep, temperature, resources, and more. An important part is the base, which you have to build up as well.
In Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria, we will be able to build our own base and to explore neverending mines that will not only lead to find new valuables, but also new enemies. The goal is to survive the threats that get in our way and help the Dwarves to get back to their home of Moria. As a huge fan of The Lord of The Rings in all of its forms, I'm not going to miss the chance to play this game. And especially because it will be multiplayer, I will definitely gather all my friends to play the game with. Can't wait for it to be available here on Allkeyshop, so that I can buy the game and spare some bucks!
