The Dwarves
Jan 01, 2016 11 years ago
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.
What it’s like
The Dwarves offers a high-fantasy narrative experience rooted in Markus Heitz’s best-selling novel series. Players guide fifteen distinct heroes through an open world, engaging in tactically demanding real-time battles against overwhelming enemy hordes. The primary strength lies in its presentation: the story is well-narrated with strong voice acting and animation that bring the fantasy premise to life. However, the execution is uneven. While the combat aims for challenge and satisfaction, it often feels clunky and lacks the polish expected of a tactical RPG. The game attempts to balance exploration with intense skirmishes, but technical instability significantly detracts from the immersion. It appeals most to fans of the source material who prioritize narrative and character voice work over mechanical refinement.
