    While I do appreciate the return of Zelda's "dungeon based" formula, it's unfair to say that Dungeons of Hinterberg is just a "Zelda-like". Mixing up those elements with an equipment based progression, a calendar system and a social aspect (akin to Persona's), the game's focus is not only its dungeons, but also its plot and characters. Hinterberg wants us to think about tourism, the way it affects people's lives and changes their livelihoods. Even if flawed, I can appreciate its refrexing take on its influences and the message it conveys.

    Dungeons Of Hinterberg is a breath of fresh air, so much so that it is a pleasure to play and an ideal escape from everyday life. With its gorgeous settings, soothing melodies and stimulating challenges, the title manages to create an immersive and relaxing experience. Microbird perfectly managed to combine action-RPG and reflection, thus offering a story with many twists and discoveries, despite a few technical hiccups. This promising first title suggests a bright future for the studio, and it will be interesting to follow their next creations.
