A new game on Steam mixes relaxed holiday vibes with exciting dungeons and battles.
What game is this about? Dungeons of Hinterberg is a new game on Steam, which is set to be released in summer 2024 and aims to offer you an interesting mix.
As the name suggests, in this game you venture into an idyllic alpine region in Austria. More precisely, to Hinterberg. You take on the role of Luisa, a young woman who needs a break after her burnout.
In Hinterberg, you can expect not only a relaxing vacation with new people, hikes, and movie visits, but also plenty of battles, as the latest trailer shows:
What does the gameplay offer? As the trailer shows very well, in Dungeons of Hinterberg you can expect an interesting mix of relaxed gameplay and action-packed battles with swords and magic.
In fact, the trailer looks like an image film on some vacation website. It presents Hinterberg, the little town in the Austrian Alps. However, Hinterberg offers not only typical holiday activities like hiking, spa visits, or cinema outings, where you meet new people and spend a relaxed time.
Hinterberg is especially proud of its dungeons, which you can explore as a tourist. Equipped with a sword and even magical powers, you fight against various enemies in the dungeons.
The battles look very fluid at first glance. With your sword, you use various techniques like spinning attacks or leap attacks to handle multiple enemies at once.
You can expect dungeons full of enemies and puzzles
The trailer shows you some of the areas you can explore in the game. In the mountain area of Doberkogel, for example, you have to race through the mountain tunnels with a minecart, avoid obstacles, and find treasures. In Hinterwald, you then use zip lines and slide on your snowboard across the glaciers.
The trailer also shows that puzzles await you in the various areas, which you can solve, among other things, with your magical powers and, of course, should, if you want to progress.
It’s also worth interacting with the various NPCs. Because, as your relationships with them grow, you unlock new abilities that will be useful to you in the dungeons.
