Hinterland Image
  • Summary: Loot, level and build with fast paced RPG combat and strategic base building! Your goal is to lead a handful of peasants to establish a small haven in the wild backcountry of a fantasy kingdom. Bring a diverse cast of followers to your settlement on the edge of the world and then carefully select members of your village to put down their ploughs, leave their comfortable homes, and take whatever weapon they may have at hand to join you on expeditions of exploration and conquest in the surrounding lands. There you’ll encounter the characters and creatures of myth and folklore, and find much needed resources to expand your village whether it be iron to make weapons or a mystic tome to entice a great mage to join you. Should your forays meet with success, fame, fortune and prosperity await. But you must take care, for even the loss of a lowly farmer can spell disaster when harvest time comes. Can you build a vibrant settlement, lead your people to prosperity, and tame the wild Hinterland? [Tilted Mill] Expand

  1. The greatest pleasure of Hinterland lies in its combination of simple mechanics to form an engaging and brisk gameplay experience.
  2. A surprisingly complex and entertaining mixture of Diablo and Sim City. Although the presentation is typical for a budget title which contents will keep you for a long time. [Nov 2008]
  3. Hinterland's cheap; but that's not excuse for a game this poor. [Dec 2008, p.73]

    A tad buggy and the controls leave something to be desired, but a very well done game. This is a fantastic casual game that blends RPG and RTS very well. Think of it along the lines of a small version of The Guild 2 with a little Action RPG thrown in to keep you busy. :) Sad that there's not a widescreen option, but maybe they're patch that in later. Worth the $20. Expand

    This game was disappointing. The gameplay is like a greatly simplified version of Diablo, with a little city building tacked on. I was expecting something like Majesty, where your townspeople interact with the world, but in this game they don't really do much aside from generate income, resources or bonuses (and they don't leave their buildings unless you bring them along to fight), leaving your character to fight extremely repetitive battles, even if you choose a town administrator sort of career. The graphics are ok, but the inability to zoom out is frustrating - even at 1920x1200 you can't really see very far from where your character is standing. Tilted Mill is great, but the game just isn't worth $20. Expand

  3. probobly the single worst game i have ever played; this game was released in 2008 yet it plays like a game that came out in 1998; not in a nostalgic or good way mind you; the resolution is horrible, the game itself is buggy; the combat is terrible; the AI non-exsistant; it trys to add a base building side to the game but fails at that too. honestly this game has no redeeming qualities Expand
