✦ AI summary
Players appreciate Dwarfenstein as a fun, refreshing wave shooter with charming cartoon graphics, satisfying gameplay loop of collecting gems and upgrading skills across multiple classes and weapons. However, some note the game feels rough around the edges with grinding requirements for unlocks and a notable lack of key rebinding options that may frustrate certain players.

Music, dwarfs, guns and fun. It's a refreshing take on a shooter/tower defense.1 found this helpful
Certainly rough around the edges, but this small little wave shooter is a pretty fun time for the price. There are 3 classes with 3 weapons and 4 skills each, and a bunch of perks to unlock. There's a bit of a grind for crystals to get everything. The lack of key rebinds might be an issue for some. Neat little diversion from what appears to be a solo indie dev.
Simple yet very fun.
So far i really enjoy the game. It is fun and a lot of action. I like to shot up all these waves for gems. Collecting and upgrading ur skills is neat as well. It is fun and totally worth the money. I didnt had any major bugs or complainments yet.
