We Are the Dwarves

We Are The Dwarves is, perhaps, the classic case of a debut: it has good ideas, it even implements a couple of them well, but its edges remain a bit too rough. The clunky controls and collision issues alongside a barebones tutorial that doesn’t go into explaining necessary concepts in depth detract from the overall enjoyment the game can offer. If, however, you manage to look past these things, the game offers a real challenge on both its difficulty levels, a campaign that’s far from being short and a pretty refreshing take on the world of dwarves.

We Are The Dwarves! is a strategy game that is focused all around timing and skill expertise. You will control 3 dwarves each with separate skill sets as they recover from their spaceship crash on a mission to find a new star to save their race.

A great idea in terms of concept failing to come together, We Are The Dwarves has strengths rooted almost entirely in the background. When game mechanics as well as unforgiving difficulty spikes seem stacked against you in a way that it goes from feeling like a challenge to feeling unfair, you’ve alienated a large portion of gamers.

The core mechanics of We Are The Dwarves - the actions you can take and the strategies you can employ - are wonderful, well-considered, and fully featured.

Ultimately, We Are The Dwarves is jack of all trades, master of none. The game includes strategy, stealth and action elements but none of these mechanics are particularly well implemented. I spent too much time wrestling with the game’s clunky controls, limiting levels and high difficulty to get any joy out of the game. If you’re down for some serious mining and are prepared to really persevere then you might find some enjoyment here. But with no guarantee that I’d find diamonds beneath the coal, I wasn’t prepared to dig any deeper.
