About Dwelvers
Enter the decrepit lair of the Dark Mother, the powerful demon that rules the underworld. Prove yourself a worthy Dungeon Lord by satiating her endless hunger for domination, conquest, and the ultimate eradication of the human race. It is up to you to lead your minions to victory through an array of logistical challenges and brutal skirmishes.
As Dungeon Lord, your key challenge is to create strong production chains that process the natural underground resources like ore, roots, and coal into useful materials for building rooms and furniture, crafting weapons and armour, or feeding the dark mother for valuable rewards. Cultivate the rich subterranean soil to grow the starchy antroot, used to bake bread and brew beer, and hunt rats and fish for protein to be cooked and served in your bar rooms.
As more minions join your fray, whether through force or as an offering from the Dark Mother, you must tend to their different needs for food, drinks, relaxation, training and task management. After all, even imps require work-life balance. A healthy and well-rested army is key to defeating your enemies and expanding your base.
Keeping your base safe from aggressive creatures, monsters and crusading humans is a challenge best met with strong defences, traps, and a lot of sharp blades. Train your forces, equip them with powerful gear, and send them to the surface world to raid and pillage the humans. Use magic spells to reveal hidden areas, slow your enemies, smite them with lightning, or even turn them against each other.
Dwelvers features a plethora of systems and gameplay mechanics:

Fun dungeon game. Dev still updating it. Good times.5 found this helpful
Thank you for picking this back up Seen a tonne of updates coming through again. People reading reviews: You can probably ignore the ones that say its abandoned.3 found this helpful
Updates after ~11 years!3 found this helpful
This game shouldn't even be in alpha yet. Don't buy this unfinished crap. There's no real control over your builders. You can wait for a full hour for the little imps (forgot their name in this game), and they still won't start building a room, trap, or anything useful. You can't pick up minions. Only the flag works a bit, but you can't use that to force training by example. There are just sloppy bugs, like when you take all teleports for the heroes in skirmish before the waves. You're basically stuck. Random crashes. These are just a few points that cone to mind right now. So much more2 found this helpful
played this years ago and enjoyed it a lot leaving aside some bugs here and there. development is slow but steady and its progressing so some of these bugs may be fixed now.1 found this helpful
It looked like a fun game inspired by Dungeon Keeper. Unfortunatly, the gameplay isn't that great. A shame
