When I saw the first trailer for A Game of Dwarves found the concept quite interesting reminding me of a modern version of Dungeon Keeper, with workout warriors and miners to extract gold. It was a new strategy game in the hands of Paradox, just knew I was in good hands. The freedom of The Game of Dwarves seemed to be a point in favor and if everything else were minimally decent knew it would be a game to spend a few good hours.
The dwarves were a noble race n antiquity. They ruled ancestral lands along with elves and other creatures. But when it ventured far north, found the mages, with which waged a war with the other races, taking the elves and dwarves to flee to retreat to an isolated island that the magicians could not reach, or so the story goes .
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.
