Overview

'We Are the Dwarves!' Is a story-driven real-time tactical action game about the three dwarven astronauts in the Stone Universe looking for the warm and bright Stars. An accident with the drill-like Starship brought them to an unknown part of the Universe, pushing into dangerous circumstances, but that's where the adventure begins! The dwarves will meet ancient races and giant monsters on their mission and it's up to you, who commands the trio, how to deal with them. Depending on what you want from the game - stealth or slasher - you can choose how to play with your dwarf team.

We Are The Dwarves is a different experience from what you’re probably expecting. Many people who are looking for a Diablo-like game will be disappointed because it’s more along the lines of The Banner Saga. The title takes awhile to acclimate to but it’s a rewarding game. If you’re in the market for a short but surprisingly intense experience, be sure to pick this one up.

We Are The Dwarves is a tactical and rewarding action experience. While it’s a difficult mountain to climb, even with the introduction of an easier mode, it holds a diverse array of combat situations and puzzle-like level design.

Whale Rock Games has put together quite a doozy for hardcore RTS fans. It’s definitely not fitting for a casual strategy gamer like me, or those who prefer fewer moving parts in their RTSes. But even with the ragequit difficulty, it’s hard to deny that the game mechanics themselves are as solid and fair as the environments are gorgeous.

We Are The Dwarves is a brutally difficult tactical action game with some RPG elements thrown in for good measure. Learning the best way to utilize each of the dwarves' talents is the key to advancing in the game. The isometric perspective provides clear sightlines of the action, but I found controlling multiple dwarves much more difficult than controlling a single dwarf. With more characters on screen, things start to become more hectic, but in a way, the game relishes in the ensuing chaos.Note: We Are The Dwarves was reviewed on PC.

We Are The Dwarves is, perhaps, the classic case of a debut: it has good ideas, it even implements a couple of them well, but its edges remain a bit too rough. The clunky controls and collision issues alongside a barebones tutorial that doesn’t go into explaining necessary concepts in depth detract from the overall enjoyment the game can offer.

Overall, We Are the Dwarves is slightly too difficult, in a way that would make me apprehensive about going back to it rather than spur me to try again.
