Dungeons of Hinterberg review - adventure with a generous spirit and a thoughtful soul


Our review of Dungeons of Hinterberg, a delightful and creative RPG with a social twist.

| Image credit: Curve Games/Microbird Games Dungeons reuse art and assets but they're much pickier about ideas: each one seems to have a stellar puzzle, whether you're weighting down switches, leaping between minecarts, or bumping open doors by conjuring blocks of jelly. | Image credit: Curve Games/Microbird Games All of this is neat and lovely and comes together very cleanly, the dungeons and life back at the village, and it's tied together with an art style that's cartoonish and pleasantly goofy, and which utilises Cel-shading that's enhanced by judicious use of halftone. I don't want to say too much here, but while Dungeons of Hinterberg hinges on everything that's good about fantasy and magic, it uses all this stuff to tell a handful of dovetailing stories that are all grounded in very real things.
