Dwelvers is a real time strategy game where The player takes the role of an evil Dungeon Lord who guide its minions through building their own dungeon, below and above the surface. Manage elaborate production chains, cater to the needs and quirks of each monster and lead them to battles against other monsters and pathetic humans.
The most challenging part for the player will be creating an advanced production system so as to have enough food to keep the creatures well fed, enough weapons and armour to outfit their army as a force to be reckoned with, and of course enough beer to keep them satisfied with you as their master. A drunk minion is a happy minion! The theme of the game will have a lot of dark humour, and each creature will have its own personality, demands and fighting style; forcing the player to handle all the creatures in different ways in order to max out their potential. A happy minion is a useful minion!

This game is NOT abandoned! The game has been fully released and the developer is working on future updates.
I've only played a small amount of time and I can already tell this game has much to offer. I plan to sink a lot more time into it and really master creating an efficient dungeon.

Dwelvers went quiet for a while and now its back. Dungeon Keeper, but with 3D depth and some new (but short) campaigns and a map editor.
This has a lot of promise and is a testament to not giving up on something just because of negative reviews. I've played this before and enjoyed it, and now its starting to look better (cleaner) and it has a sense of direction that I can't wait to explore.
In my opinion its closer to DK than Dungeons, and the incidental animations capture something that's missing from the AAA developer titles - that sense of humour. At the same time it adds something else, with the added depth you can dig to. At this price it is more than worth it and I would recommend supporting the Dev because its a true labour of love.

Very nice attempt on ressurecting Dungeon Keeper franchise with a lot of "what if" ideas adding a lot of depth into the game. I like the fact that after beating DK2 there is an outro showing our reaper reaching the surface of the lands where the enemy humans live. This game deliveres this continuation by adding the levels where we invade human lands. The dungeons are multi-leveled sandbox with a lot of potential for creativity. The complexity of the gameplay is great. I didn't encounter any bugs so far. Overall, I recommend it to every RTS player !

Less a review more a PSA saying the negative reviews are very old and very out of date the game is not abandoned and the solo dev is still working on it I might write an actual review when I play it but my back log calls.

It's a great dungeon keeper-like!
The game was on hiatus for a while in early access which pulled down the overall reviews. Those can be ignored.

A dev that returns after many years and is trying to finish the project. I will give it my vote of trust. The game is a fun clone of the old dungeon keeper games, nice graphics and some of the old charm. Not a bad game, but still on the works. Stay tuned to see where it goes, and if you can buy it to go along the ride.
