"Developer Power Of Two Games originally released Dwarfs!? back in May of 2011, and has now re-launched Dwarfs!? again with a free-to-play model. In Dwarfs!? you play as the overseer who’s job it is to manage a bunch of other dwarves under you. The game is rather easy in the sense that you have to dig out dirt and create structures, but it gets harder as you accidentally open up a river of flowing lava upon your mining encampment. Of course, players shouldn’t forget the occasional goblin invasion, as they are always ready to jump out of dark corners and ambush your colony." - Brad Ward
These aren’t nostalgia grabs or gimmick-laden throwbacks. They each bring something genuinely fresh to the table, mechanics that feel baked into the exploration and combat, not just tacked on.
Play as Dik, a nimble acrobat exploring the depths of Hell to rescue his brother from the Devil’s hands. With no weapons to rely on, success hinges on mastery of physics-driven movement, and quick adaptation to deadly obstacles.
