The chapter delves into the gameplay of Dungeons of Hinterberg, a new video game where players venture into dungeons filled with monsters that have suddenly appeared in an Alpine resort community. Players take on the role of a character on vacation from a legal career, progressing through dungeon exploration, social interactions, and relationship-building to unlock game opportunities. The game's unique concept, hand-drawn animation style, captivating setting in Austria, variety of magic powers, and focus on character relationships are discussed, along with criticisms of combat mechanics and movement controls.
This week, Nintendo challenges the Besties to become elite speedrunners. Can they beat Mario in minutes? Will they transform into a morph ball in mere seconds? Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition helps the crew test the limits of their skills. Plus, Dungeons of Hinterberg blends Persona hangout session with Zelda’s dungeon-crawling combat.
