About A Game of Dwarves
Lead a dwarven settlement through procedurally generated continents where you'll mine resources, construct buildings, command workers, and battle underground monsters while uncovering mysteries from the Great War. Blend real-time strategy with management as your dwarves level up and gain skills, while you adapt tactics to unique maps and decide how deep to dig for rare treasures—or how many dangers to awaken.
Order the inhabitants of a Dwarven settlement to dig, build and conduct research in order to strengthen the clan. Be careful though because you must defend your Dwarves from the terrible beasts that lie in the depths. A unique world is generated each time a new level starts, so you will need to dynamically adapt your strategies and tactics during each session.
As you advance, the Dwarves will level up and gain new skills; progressing from weak dwarvlings to near immortal warriors or master craftsmen. There are also rare resources to be found deeper in the earth that grant access to better buildings and equipment. However, the deeper you dig the more dangerous foes you might unleash…
Key Features:
- Explore – The randomly generated maps offer replayability while also providing a sense of exploration
- Build – customize your settlement with not only practical constructions, but beautiful ones too! Build objects you think look great, while still gaining progress. Home is where the art is.
- Command – With an intuitive order system the player can easily control oodles of dwarves simultaneously without the need for extensive micro management
- A 13 level, story driven campaign
- Custom game mode: Create a world without enemies so you can build uninterrupted or spawn lots of them to increase the challenge

To be honest, it was pretty bad when it first came out and time has done it no favours. I just did one last push to get the achievements I was missing, and it was a miserable experience. There are several block building simulators to choose from that are just better than this in almost every way. My recommendation is to save your time and your money, and avoid this game altogether.2 found this helpful

I really love digging out tunnels in A Game of Dwarves, setting up little dwarven rooms, and watching your underground settlement grow across multiple vertical layers. I lost a few evenings to it without meaning to, which says something. That said, the game is clearly unfinished: dwarves stumble on staircases, the AI is borderline lobotomized, some Steam achievements are permanently broken due to level bugs, and the challenge basically evaporates once you're even slightly established. It's best approached as a relaxed sandbox dollhouse rather than any kind of strategy game — if you go in expecting Dungeon Keeper or Dwarf Fortress depth, you'll be disappointed fast. Grab it on a deep sale if the idea of decorating a cozy underground fort sounds appealing, but go in with low expectations.
love it
It's a cute resource management / city builder game. Always come aback to it.
