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.

I must say if you like DND and love dwarves. This is the game for you. The story can be somewhat hard to follow, but the story building is fantastic and so is the Combat. 10/10 would Oink, Oink again to any orc.

do you remember old games from the 2000's ? the ones so bad it's so good ? .. that is precisely that kind of game, not a big budget behind but still able to deliver a decent product .. nice story and nice world building (as in description, taken from a series of books), nice technical level, for me te only flaw is the combat system: real time action fight is not well made and doing it turn-based would have been better .. still enjoyable if you set difficulty very easy and avoid combat as much as possible ... in summary is a good game imho

Fantastic game. Follows the books well. Wish they were making more! Also, dwarves.

A little clunky at times, but a good length for casual gaming and worth picking up

The game is alright. The combat is fine but very tedious. Most games allow you to use items before and during battle, but this game limits each character to only one item per battle, seriously kneecapping the game. And while the game is an action rpg during combat, you're going to be stuck pausing constantly and micromanaging everyone and everything throughout battle.
These unusual game choices are felt in later battles when you're required to do back to back fighting segments and can't heal your characters between them.
The characters are alright as well. None of them are going to blow your socks off and some of them are more fleshed out than others. With the amount of characters you acquire during your adventure, it would have been nice if there would have been more interactions in the game with them.
The first two-thirds of the game have a good pace, introduces you well into this world, decent fights, etc. Then the last third drops the ball. The ending feels rushed. My guess is the developers ran out of time/resources and had to cut a lot of content to get the game finished which is disappointing.
Overall, I would recommend the game if you're just looking for a relatively short RPG. If you can look past the tedious combat system and the lack of item usage, you can have a decent time. But, if you're looking for a grand adventure with meaningful choices, this isn't it.

I never read the books nonetheless I liked this game mainly for the story and its characters.
The gameplay on the other hand to me felt repetitive and frustrating.
I had a couple of technical issues but nothing major or game breaking.
