"What ever happened to the Dungeon Keeprs and Theme Hospitals of mid 90s PC gaming? Well, other than the fact that Bullfrog were bought by EA and then gobbled up like a a child with a bag of penny sweets nobody really knows why these management sims fell from grace; luckily Zeal Game Studio and Paradox Interactive are setting out to bring back the genre's charms via the delights of those midget bearded miners of lore, the Dwarves."
Another day, another bundle full of games going for a very low price point. At only £3.59 for 12 titles, it’s hard to ignore such an offer. The games on offer cover a large amount of genres, hitting strategy, adventure, shooter and racing games, among others. It should also be noted that these game are not exactly indie titles, several coming from large established studios such as Paradox. But is the pack worth it?
Paradox Interactive’s Game of Dwarves, has received a new content pack. This time, the bearded folk will be looking after pets.
The Dwarves can look after a whole collection of different animals. They’ll need to make sure they have the right food, toys to play with, and, of course, somewhere to sleep.
PCG:A Game of Dwarves is on the management end of the spectrum. You have to look after a small collection of dwarves while hunting for treasure in the depths of the earth. You don’t have direct control over your charges – you just hint at what you’d like them to do by marking out areas for diggers to dig, crafters to build, warriors to fight, researchers to research and workers to grow food.
