About Diggles: The Myth of Fenris
✦ AI summary
Manage your clan of quirky underground dwarves by mining resources, building production sites, and battling enemies while keeping your colony fed and happy. This beloved classic returns with modernized technical support, packed with hand-crafted humor, 40+ story-driven quests, and the charming 90s vibes that made the original Diggles a cult favorite.
DIG*GLE (n): an underground dwelling dwarf whose main function is to mine resources, harvest mushrooms and bat the enemies to survive. They are hardworking, but enjoy leisure time activities such as bowling, the disco, a trip to the pub and perpetuating the species. The Diggles dynasty has been chosen by Godfather Odin to rid the world of Fenris, the hound of hell.BUILD YOUR CLAN
Odin made sure no Diggle is the same. Develop each of them with a varied set of skills and combat techniques so you can grow your clan. Give Diggles some free time, make sure they are fed and entertained and soon your tunnels will be full of angry babies. But don’t get too comfortable - there are other unique clans down there.
DEVELOP YOUR COLONY
Make sure your clan has everything it needs in your new colony. With over 50 production sites to master, you will be busy exploring the technology tree, crafting with 20 production tools, and gathering seven different resources.
DWARVES WITH ATTITUDE
Snarky Diggles always end up in some story. Watch for yourself - all quests are featuring hand-crafted cutscenes full of humor, dwarfy attitude, and their gnomish problems. There are many stories to be told in more than 40 quests. Digging into the mud was never this fun.
IT'S BEEN ALMOST 20 YEARS. WILL IT RUN?
We are happy to bring back to life the story of Diggles (or Wiggles, or Гномы - depending on localization that is closer to your gamer's heart). The game received its portion of technical care and now runs on modern operating systems without any extra shenanigans. The story, visuals, and gameplay are untouched - with all its charm and flaws. Enjoy playing the game on Windows 7 or later, without legacy DRM, no FPS lock, and with few extra DirectX11 settings.

A great classic. Unfortunately, when they added this game to Steam, they may have patched it to work properly on newer PCs.1 found this helpful
I honestly wish there was a neutral option on recommending. There's not much I can say that everyone else hasn't, but Diggles really is a gem. Even though I did not personally have this game growing up, it brought me back to an older time in a special way. If you enjoy colony sims and like a bit of raunchy humor, you will likely enjoy this game. HOWEVER, I recommend if you do decide to purchase this game to do so when you don't have much going on, because without editing the experience it is VERY slow. The pace is just doable enough to keep you invested, but it will eat up a lot of your time. Unfortunately, there is a good bit of bugs too, but nothing that prevented me from being able to play/enjoy my time.1 found this helpful
Diggles: The Myth of Fenris is a unique blend of colony simulation, strategy management, and underground exploration developed by Spieleentwicklungskombinat GmbH and updated for modern hardware by General Arcade, with SNEG bringing the title back to modern storefronts. Originally launched during an era when strategy games regularly experimented with unusual ideas, Diggles remains a fascinating example of ambitious design that refuses to fit neatly into a single genre. It combines resource management, civilization building, character simulation, and mythology into a package that still feels distinctive years after its original release. The game draws inspiration from Norse mythology and places players in command of a dwarven civilization tasked with an enormous responsibility. Odin himself calls upon a clan of dwarves to locate Fenris, a dangerous mythical beast whose presence threatens balance beneath the world. The mission becomes far larger than a simple expedition. Players gradually establish a thriving underground society while carving through dangerous subterranean environments filled with hidden resources, mysteries, and challenges waiting below the surface. Unlike many str…
