Free Range Games and North Beach Games announced The Lord of the Rings: Return to Mora, a handcrafted survival game, during the Epic Games Showcase, an Epic exclusive scheduled for release in early 2023. Moria” takes place in the Fourth Age of the Middle Ages. Earth. after the end of the War of the Ring, the elves leave and Sauron is no more. The Dwarflord Gimli sends an expeditionary force to the Mines of Moria to establish a new settlement, and that’s where you and your urban planning expertise come into play.
Tolkien fans have already noticed that the timeline here is a bit off. In Tolkien’s saga, Gimli establishes a colony in the Shining Caverns of Rohan before expressing his desire to see the Undying Lands and meet Legolas again. Return to Moria may take liberties with a set schedule, but it’s built on a winning formula.
Your goal in Return to Moria is to create a new civilization on a procedurally generated map, build towns and villages, collect resources, deal with threats, and explore as deep as possible. In short, it is a twist to the formula of The Lord of the Rings in Walheim so well established by Iron Gate.
A unique moment in Return to Moria is the danger associated with each action. You can create and operate as many dwarves as you like, but anything that makes noise is likely to attract unwanted attention.
Free Range was careful not to mention any specific threats in the form of the Balrog when warning players not to be too reckless. Fire demons aside, the Mines still lurk with infinite danger beyond the usual orcs and goblins, including “secrets of the shadows” and unspeakable evil, not what the neighbors usually want. .
Digging through the mines, on the other hand, reveals the lost ruins of Dwarrowdelf, which you can retrieve and use as you see fit, as well as gems, precious metals, and even magical artifacts that you can use in the service of your new civilization. . And since it’s solo in the mines, you can do it all with up to eight friends thanks to Return to Moria’s multiplayer features.
If you can’t wait until 2023 to learn more about Tolkien, you don’t have to. Daedalic’s The Lord of the Rings: Gollum opens in September and offers a fresh take on the War of the Ring from Gollum’s perspective.
And if you decide to give Walheim a try, you’re just in time. The Mistlands update will add new areas and enemies to an already extensive game, so make sure you have the right weapons to stay alive.
