"Escape Deep Dungeon: Survive Starvation in Dungeon Hiker"

Ever since the days of Ultima Underworld, the humble dungeon has evolved from a typical TTRPG setting into a vast, cavernous world brimming with mystery and adventure. It's no surprise then that we continue to see exciting releases like the upcoming Dungeon Hiker, which aims to let players relive that thrilling experience.

The core concept of Dungeon Hiker is straightforward yet engaging: you're trapped within a mysterious dungeon and must navigate your way to freedom. Between you and the exit lie tunnels, monsters, traps, and various other obstacles you'll need to overcome. As you explore, you'll discover branching paths and multiple endings, delving into a deep and immersive story.

However, it's not just physical challenges you'll face. In addition to monitoring your health points (HP), you'll also need to manage your hunger, thirst, and fatigue levels. After all, being trapped deep underground means food and water aren't readily available!

Beyond these survival elements, Dungeon Hiker operates as you'd expect from a modern first-person dungeon crawler. Utilizing a card battler system, you'll collect materials to craft new skill cards and equipment, essential for battling the dungeon's monstrous inhabitants.

Developed by Nekosuko, Dungeon Hiker presents an intriguing premise. While Nekosuko's past projects may have been on the budget side, with Dungeon Hiker set to release on July 20th, there's hope that they'll deliver a polished game that fully capitalizes on its setting and concept.
