This is the only survival game set in the iconic fantasy world created by J.R.R. Tolkien: Middle-earth in the Fourth Age, telling the story of the dwarves' journey to regain their fabled hometown of Moria under the Misty Mountains. Players need to cooperate with each other, survive, build and construct, and explore this ever-expanding iconic mine. Brave explorers must be on guard at all times, as mysterious dangers await them.
Players will play as a dwarf summoned to the Misty Mountains by Gimli the King of the Glittering Caves, and need to lead a team of dwarfs and take on the responsibility of recapturing those lost spoils from beneath Moria, also known as Khazad-dûm or the Dwarven Delve.
The stage of this game is the procedurally generated Dwarven realm of Moria, no two adventures will be the same, each expedition can be completed alone or jointly with companions through online play. Players can mine to build more powerful equipment and resources, but mining minerals makes a noise that wakes up the dangerous things sleeping in this silent depth: wherever there is noise, there is fighting. Uncover the mystery and precious metals hidden in the three fabled mountains, fight against the unnamable existence while surviving and learn the secrets lurking in the depths.
Experience unity: The rich backstory from the iconic fantasy world of J.R.R. Tolkien is perfectly combined in The Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria, allowing you to immersive experience the unity among the dwarfs.
Survive in the darkness: To survive in the treacherous Moria mines, players must conserve resources, hunt and gather food, and also manage sleep, temperature and noise levels. Use the dynamic light system to ensure their own safety and open up a path straight into the darkness. In the bloody battles, face the unnamable evil existence and hordes of grotesque orcs, while uncovering the secrets lurking in the depths of the mountains.
Build a base: Find comfort in the darkness. Discover and clear new locations and build large-scale structures. Use creativity to build a base from scratch or build on the existing environment. Beware of the evil existence that tries to undermine the dwarfs' progress.
Rebuild and reshape Moria: Restore the lost ancient Kingdom of Khazad-dûm to its former glory and rebuild the dwarf landmarks as the story progresses. Restart the old mines and workshops to reclaim the resources.
