About
Summoned to the Misty Mountains by Lord Gimli Lockbearer himself, you must answer the call and reclaim Moria, the legendary home beneath the mountain!

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!

Reviews
Better than expected especially after reading some of the negative reviews. This is the type of game you play after work to destress. There's plenty to do if you just want a base builder with exporation and combat. If you've played a survival base builder before you know what to expect. A little janky in places, when you mine you tend to leave floating bits. For £25 I've spent more on worse, at time of writing it's 55% off £11.24 is it worth it? yeah I'd say so. When I eventually finish the game I plan on getting the dlc. Overall it's a nice game.
Fun, especially with friends!

This and every other Pro feature is free until October 20, 2026. A free account is all it takes.
Every market we collect.
Too few observations to say whether a discount moves this store's chart at all: across the last 30 days Steam · Top Sellers · Poland has just 17 day-to-day chart moves that followed a price cut, against 2,502 that did not. We are publishing the count instead of a direction — 20 is the fewest we will draw a conclusion from, and price collection outside the United States began on 6 August 2026.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

Es muy divertido y entretenido
Any LOTR fan will love this game, exploring the world of Moria and discovering all the easter eggs. Can be tricky but a great relaxing way to spend lots of hours.
THIS GAME HAS ATROCIOUS PERFORMANCE. And no, this isn't just my system. This is a widely reported problem and affects even high end systems. The devs either do not care or do not have the know-how to optimize their own game. Return to Moria is a tragic example of "unreal engine slop" that relies on DLSS to compensate for the fact that the codebase is abominable. Even on the absolute lowest settings, because of how poor this game's optimization is, you are still guaranteed to get stutters. Specifically, the game is poorly optimized when handling loading zones. You are guaranteed to get very annoying frame dips and stuttering upon crossing a loading zone into a new area (which when you are exploring, happens very often). Traversing the Elven Quarter for instance was riddled with stuttering caused by severe fps dips. Have fun walking around the mines of moria section with periodic stutters and microstutters. There is zero reason for a game coming out in 2023 to run this poorly. It's completely a result of devs not knowing how to optimize in the Unreal Engine. There is also the long-standing bug where your mouse cursor is randomly visible on screen. For some reason, this has not been addressed by the devs despite it being so common. I happens every session. This game is so close to being truly great. It needs performance optimization and basic bug fixes before I can recommend it.
Loved the game, story was odd. The combat in this game is super buggy at times when fighting larger creatures.
Very cool game, Id just like a little better minimap and fast traveling to use map, and not just mapstone name that is not really intuitive where it leads you.
I would recommend this if you have patience with procedual generated map's it makes the game difficulty spike massively and had a few issues with frame drops and enemy's getting stuck in walls. However we did enjoy the numerous references to the fellowship and places within the LOTR universe. If you are a fan and have plenty of time to mine for hours and find seemingly impossible (Random chests) then this is the game for you. Needs some tweaks but maybe someone else would enjoy it more then us because by the end we wanted to get out of the mines out of pure frustration of missing armour pieces and needing a random generated chest. Discount and alot of time i can recommend this.
PS5版でクリアできなかったので、Steam版をMODマシマシでクリア。 ソロプレイです。セールならギリギリおすすめ。 ・持ち物上限が常にきつい。序盤から終盤までずっと悩まされる。 ・死にゲー。フィールドの状態異常や敵の攻撃であっさり死ぬ。死亡時の持ち物はその場に残るので回収が面倒。 ・メインクエストが更新されないことがあった。 ・次の目的地がミニマップにしか表示されず、ワールドマップには表示されないので迷いやすい。 ・マップが迷路のように入り組んでいて、迷う。迷って元に戻れなくなる。(個人差 ロードオブザリングの世界でドワーフ生活を楽しめるのは良かったが、全体的に不便な部分が目立った。映画は一作目しか見ていません。堀りゲーがやりたくてプレイしたが、そこそこ楽しめた。 MODなしだと途中で投げていたと思う。ハマる人はハマる。多分マルチプレイだともっと楽しめたんだろうな....
