Dwarf Journey

Yes, it is very good. I am not going to grind the ores to get 100%, but for a couple of evenings this is a very good platformer.

Very basic controls - move, jump, basic attack. No combo, no dodge, no block. Just move and swing and don't get hit. Very basic dungeons and platforming - levels feel copy and pasted onto each other with little to look forward once you've discovered all there is in the dungeons are ore and chests with armor / weapon blueprints, health, and stat boosts. Monsters are the same between dungeons with little differences - floor 1 the slime didn't attack, but floor 2 it lunges. Yawn. Combine all of this together and you have what feels like an old Atari game with 'rogue-lite' elements. For someone who is brand new to gaming, this might be a fun entry into the world. For anyone else, your time is better spent elsewhere.

Dwarf Journey is a roguelite (like Isaac) platform game. You can explore the game's biomes, discover all the randomly generated rooms and finally fight the boss to progress to the next one! As you explore, you can find different types of ore to craft new armour and weapons, each of which boosts your stats. The controls are great: the dwarf can double jump from the beginning, combat is fun, and your speed when running or attacking an enemy depends on your agility. There is also a chance to perform a critical attack based on luck. The game also has lots of achievements, and you can complete almost everything in about 5 hours, except a couple of things: discovering 500 meals and dying 500 times! In my playthrough, I died about 40 times and discovered everything. The only way to achieve this is to literally enter the dungeon, wait a few seconds (or minutes) to be killed, and repeat this almost 500 times. I can accept that in a game with an NG+ mechanic and a more difficult mode, but there's nothing like that in this case. So I edited my save file in the AppData folder, adjusting the meals and death counts to around 490. Then I died and found meals, and played normally for an hour. Et v…

Es un juego de acción (no llega a ser Metroidvania) sencillo pero muy divertido y muy bien hecho. La única pega que le veo es que el juego es corto, en unas 3 horas ves todo lo que hay. Muy recomendable.

Dwarf Journey takes the familiar idea of a warrior descending into dangerous caves and builds an engaging roguelite around exploration, mining, combat, and steady character development. Developed and published by Orube Game Studio, the game follows Gallar, a seasoned dwarf who begins searching for a legendary relic said to grant immortality. The premise gives his journey a clear purpose without overwhelming the experience with lengthy storytelling. Instead, the focus stays on venturing underground, surviving increasingly dangerous encounters, collecting valuable materials, and gradually becoming powerful enough to face what waits deeper within the valley. Each expedition takes place across procedurally generated environments, so the arrangement of platforms, enemies, resources, and important locations can change from one attempt to another. This keeps exploration from becoming entirely predictable and encourages players to adapt to whatever the caves provide. A boss entrance can sometimes be discovered before Gallar is properly equipped for the confrontation, creating an interesting risk-and-reward decision. Charging ahead may produce a quick defeat, while spending additional time…

Nice game, nice graphics, nice controls. Different enemies, not very long. A gentle game that anyone can finish with more or less grind. For a single playthrough though.
