Since the iconic days of Ultima Underworld, dungeons have evolved from mere settings in tabletop RPGs to expansive, mysterious worlds ripe for exploration and adventure. It's no wonder that games like the upcoming Dungeon Hiker continue to captivate gamers with promises of reliving that classic experience.
The premise of Dungeon Hiker is straightforward yet compelling: you're trapped within a mysterious dungeon and your goal is to find your way out. Between you and freedom lie a labyrinth of tunnels, menacing monsters, cunning traps, and various obstacles. As you navigate this perilous environment, you'll discover branching paths and multiple endings, all woven into a deep and engaging narrative.
But survival in Dungeon Hiker isn't just about overcoming physical challenges. You'll need to manage more than just your health points (HP); keeping tabs on your hunger, thirst, and fatigue levels is crucial. Surviving deep underground means resources are scarce, making the management of these vital stats a key part of the gameplay experience.

As a first-person dungeon crawler, Dungeon Hiker delivers what fans of the genre expect. The game incorporates a card battler system, where you'll gather materials to craft new skill cards and equipment, essential for battling the dungeon's monstrous inhabitants.
Developed by Nekosuko, Dungeon Hiker boasts an intriguing concept. 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 capitalize on the rich setting and innovative gameplay mechanics.
