The Dwarves
The Dwarves is a fantasy role-playing game with a strong story and tactically challenging real-time battles. 15 playable heroes, each with individual skills, are to be deployed cleverly. Take on superior numbers of orcs, ogres, älfs, bögnilim, zombies, dark mages and many more foes, to give them the low-down. Based on the bestselling novel “The Dwarves” by Markus Heitz you’ll experience a fascinating tale revolving around the coolest fantasy race ever: The Dwarves! Tactical real-time battles: You’re fighting hundreds of foes with just a handfull of heroes. You can pause anytime to tactically plan the next smart move. Crowd Combat: All creatures on the battlefield are rendered with physical complexity – that’s why the battles feel especially dynamic and “real”, and enabling a lot of tactical finesse.

Camera control is a bit clunky and combat is not perfectly polished, but overall a good and entertaining game with a good story. I bought it on sale and definetely got my moneys worth and more.

A great telling of the books, really funny and has some amazing moments. Only problem I encountered was the default positioning of the camera, because at times the game decided that the fight was less important than a tree.
I really recommend this, as it is a very fun experience full of typical dwarvish humor.

First let's get the negative out of the way:
- A bit bugy, some errors in code here and there that interrupt the fluidity of the game's dynamics
- Once finished it does not invite much to replay
Now the positive:
-The battle sistem requires cunning and strategy over brute force.
-The events require exploring and resource mannaging
-It's a great way to tell an epic fantasy story
In general an entertaining game that can offer some very good hours of fun and wonder

The game is decent. Story is good, but nothing extraordinary. I see the potential in the game, but a lot of things need to be improved, if any sequel will be released. I completed the story in 10 hours on 100% and I have only challenges left.
Firstly, I expected something similar to Divinity, but it is not similar in the slightest.
The "fake" open world makes you walk around the whole map and you have some "food", that heal you. While interesting idea, completely bad implementation. You have some unique encounters, but they do not affect story in any way. There was only one really interesting side quest, but there are not many of them anyway.
The combat is quite broken. No free cam, allies can push each other from the cliff, most abilities damage allies, so you can not use them, hard difficulty is broken. I played the game on hard, except the very ending(near volcano), because there no matter what I did, I could not do it on hard.

I bought this for around 5$ on the summer steam sale, woke up at 4AM and started playing until i beat the game later around 2PM, I really liked the story but the combat pathing and targeting is pretty horrible... I just really like games and stories about Dwarves. For 5$ i think it's worth

Wow, I looked at this for years and never bought it and now I got it on sale. I also read the books, what happened to this team. The story is so fun and its relaxing and you get narrative of the lore.... kewl.
After completing it I found the length pretty decent for the amount of enemies and items. I think the last battles could of used a bit more exploring and lore in between instead of cramming them together.
Battle felt clunky until I got used to switching between heroes often, using items and abilities frequently and avoiding friendly fire then I started to enjoy it more.
