————————— EARLY ACCESS WARNING: THIS GAME IS STILL IN ALPHA, EARLY ACCESS STATE. YOU MIGHT ENCOUNTER BUGS. YOU MIGHT ENCOUNTER CTD’S AND YOU MIGHT GET FRUSTRATED. BUT, IF YOU BUY THIS GAME, YOU WILL ALSO HAVE THE CHANCE TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE SHAPING OF A GREAT GAME ————————–
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 deserves a whole lot more love!
Dwelvers is a distinctive love letter to Bullfrog's Dungeon Keeper, but created by only a single developer, which is a mammoth task in itself and an astounding accomplishment!
I played the first three missions so far and I loved it.
First and foremost: The game runs very smoothly. I haven't experienced a single crash so far.
Art- and graphics-style is dusty but totally okay for a game like this.
The perfectly fitting voice of 'mother', hilarious DK-style dark humour, the possibility of digging vertically and even to swarm the surface and human villages with your minions (which differ in most parts from those from DK, which is a good thing imo.)
The improved complexity in comparison to the original...
It all comes together very nicely and plays out fine. Some typos here and there do not harm the overall absolutely enjoyable experience.
So I'll definitely keep playing as I'm excited to uncover all of the secrets the 'Netherworld' has to offer!
9/10 - worthy DK Descendant!

GER:
Dieses Spiel hat viel mehr Liebe verdient!
Dwelvers ist ein unverwechselbarer Liebesbrief an Bullfrog's Dungeon Keeper, aber mit dem Unterschied, dass es nur von einem einzigen Developer entwickelt wurde, was an sich schon eine Mammutaufgabe darstellt und eine erstaunliche Leistung ist!
Ich habe die ersten drei Missionen gespielt und war begeistert.
Zuallererst: Das Spiel läuft sehr flüssig. Ich habe bis jetzt keinen einzigen Absturz erlebt.
Der Kunst- und Grafikstil ist zwar angestaubt, aber für ein Spiel wie dieses völlig in Ordnung.
Die perfekt passende Stimme von 'Mother', der urkomische, dunkle Humor im Stil von DK, die Möglichkeit, vertikal zu graben und sogar die Oberfläche und menschliche Dörfer mit seinen Schergen zu überrennen (welche sich in den allermeisten Teilen von denen aus DK unterscheiden, was meiner Ansicht nach eine gute Sache ist.)
Die verbesserte Komplexität im Vergleich zum Original... etc.
Es fügt sich alles sehr schön zusammen und spielt sich gut. Ein paar Tippfehler hier und da schaden der insgesamt absolut gelungenen Erfahrung nicht.
Ich werde auf jeden Fall weiterspielen, denn ich bin gespannt darauf, all die Geheimnisse zu lüften, die die 'Netherworld' zu bieten hat!
9/10 - ein würdiger DK-Nachfahre!

A great Dungeon Keeper-like game! While it seemed unlikely to ever be finished, the developer, Rasmus, never gave up and released a very fun game that I highly recommend to any Dungeon Keeper fan.

Excellent experience after playing a few levels on the campaign! Obviously brings back a lot of memories from the first two Dungeon Keeper games, but a good modern take for us that are now adults :)

Scratches the Dungeon Keeper itch very well, while also introducing some pretty sweet new ideas to the genre. A little rough around the edges but overall a very good game and quite impressive from a lone dev. Here's hoping the game is successful enough he can start developing fulltime
