Summoned to the Misty Mountains by Lord Gimli Lockbearer himself, you must answer the call and reclaim Moria, the legendary home beneath the mountain! You will need both your axe and your wit to survive, craft, build and explore the deep, sprawling mines. But beware, many dangers still lurk in the shadows…

Set in a procedurally generated Dwarven realm of Moria, no two adventures will be alike. Journey on your own or call upon your online companions to aid you!

I love this game. I love getting lost in it. The best way to play it is just start the game and start exploring in sandbox and don't use any hints unless you are hopelessly stuck. Fantastic game.

I really like the story and lay out of this game. The mechanics are done well and easy to learn. You can spend hours playing by yourself as I have to figure things out. I look forward to joining others in this adventure.

5 hrs in and everything looks the same. Found a wall to dig through? Excited to find something new? Sorry, it will look identical to where you came from to an extend, where you easily lose directions.

If you are not a fan of the Lords of the Rings then this is a very easy no. If you are a fan of the Lord of the Rings, and you really want to give this a try, then maybe at a very steep discount and make sure to look up
