The Dwarves

The story follows Tungdil, a dwarf setting out across the fantasy world of Girdlegard. Along the way, he encounters other heroes and faces a growing threat to the land.

Lead a group of heroes in real-time battles, pausing to issue commands and use each character’s individual skills. The party faces much larger groups of enemies, and positioning and crowd movement can shape a fight.

Travel across a world map, meet characters, and take on adventures that include optional puzzles and decisions. The game offers 15 playable heroes to deploy, each with their own abilities.

Reviews often praise the story, fantasy setting, and characters, with some also highlighting the narration, voice acting, and music. Reactions to combat are mixed: some enjoy using hero abilities and crowd tactics, while others find fights awkward, repetitive, or difficult to control. Bugs and unresponsive characters are recurring complaints.
