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! 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!

Every market we collect.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 23 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 14 places towards #1, and the 2,420 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
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.

The NPC Villagers are not part of the Main game its locked behind a paywall in the form of a DLC (Durin's folk)
54 hours out of the game running with two friends.... wasn't bad, but it got boring just getting to the new area and doing the same exact thing i did in the last area. Was happy to be done and not because of the excitement for a game ending scene. Shocker there hasn't been any update since Feb. I don't think game is going to go anywhere past what we have. So, big miss by the dev team and a fat Thumbs down.
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.
Not Recommended (Unless You’re a Glutton for Punishment) Return to Moria is a game I want to love. It looks good, sounds great, and absolutely nails the dwarven atmosphere. The premise is fantastic, and when you’re building out your halls, the game can be genuinely charming. But wow… everything else tries its hardest to stop you from having fun. The AI dwarves behave like they’re drunk, lost, or both. They get stuck inside walls, under floors, on top of random objects — and the only fix is restarting the game, which itself crashes constantly. Their pathfinding? Imagine handing a toddler a map and telling them to find their way through a mine. Quests are vague, the map is useless, and some “simple” tasks take five-plus hours of grinding. Combat is barebones, and the targeting system loves to lock onto enemies you weren’t even looking at, throwing you face-first into a mob. Building is a gamble: sometimes it works, sometimes it refuses for no reason, and the camera is actively hostile. Movement speed is slow enough to make you question your life choices. And the game is long — I hit the boss around 40 hours in, and only then does the settlement management open up. It’s fun, but it’s buried under a mountain of grind. If you’re a masochist who enjoys survival crafting and you adore LOTR, you might still enjoy this. For everyone else, consider this a friendly warning.
Pinche juego mal optimizado, no sirve para ni ñocla.
