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.

This is a hidden gem but unfortunately there are a lot of annoying bugs.
The game is short but in my opinion thats a good thing. You can easily complete it under 12h.
The combat is a bit clunky and the progression is as deep as a puddle. But it was still satisfying to mow down hordes of orcs.
The story and narration are very good and definitely the best part about this game.

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

This VERY BUGGY game was genuinely fun! The story was nice, choices you made actually mattered, combat was amazing, items were impactful (not Potions, sell those), auto-saves are well placed and made for quick re-loads when you either lost or the game glitched.
This game was given to me as a gift. The campaign took me about 15 hours, including letting the credits play which its-self took about 30 minutes. The optional challenges to gain 100% Achievement completion took me about another 2 hours. That is 17 hours of content. The game is absolutely not worth the full asking price.

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.

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.

I love this game and the Books it's based on. The gameplay isn't perfect and can be buggy sometimes. But that could be due to age. Easy recommendation!
