As their stars die, three dwarf astronauts set out to find a new star in the depths of the Endless Stone. You guide Forcer, Smashfist, and Shadow through unfamiliar territories, facing hostile creatures and other civilizations.
The game blends real-time action with tactical planning: slow time, queue commands, and coordinate the dwarves’ attacks. Each has a distinct approach, from ranged damage to close combat and stealthy strikes, so encounters call for choosing how their abilities work together.
Explore dangerous areas, use stealth or direct combat, and adapt to enemies that can detect movement, noise, and scent. Individual skill trees let you develop each dwarf’s abilities and tailor their approaches.
Players who enjoy the game often point to its unusual space-dwarf premise, atmospheric presentation, and tactical squad combat. Reviewers appreciate pausing to plan and combining the three characters’ different abilities, especially when a difficult encounter finally comes together. Others find the challenge frustrating and mention clunky controls, technical problems, or a short, repetitive experience.
The Dwarven stars are slowly dying-- putting the race at the edge of extinction. Deliverance is poised upon three Dwarven astronauts who are sent on an expedition to find a new star in the depths of the Endless Stone. Take control of Forcer, Smashfist, and Shadow as they explore the unknown territories of the stone universe while meeting new civilizations and ancient monsters from the deep layers of space.
We Are The Dwarves is an action-based tactical adventure with active pause (extreme slowdown of time) placing you in control of three Dwarven astronauts. Forcer is capable of ranged destruction, and timely set-up exectution. Smashfist, a brute at heart, gets up close and personal with rage worth avoiding. Shadow stays just where you'd expect him to, launching deadly successive assassinations and precision archery from afar. As a trio, combine each dwarfs attack styles into orchestrated destruction against your foe.
