Quick summary
We Are the Dwarves is a story-focused, real-time tactical action title set in the mysterious Stone Universe. Players guide a trio of dwarven astronauts after their drill-shaped starship malfunctions, forcing them to survive and explore unfamiliar surroundings. Along the way they run into ancient civilizations and dangerous creatures, where careful decision-making determines who lives and who doesn’t.
World and narrative details
The game follows three dwarf explorers stranded after an accident with their drill-like vessel. As they push deeper into alien landscapes, the plot unfolds through encounters with long-lost races and hostile beasts. Exploration and survival are tightly woven into the tale, making environment and lore as important as combat.
Gameplay and tactical choices
This is a real-time tactical action experience that gives players the freedom to approach situations in different ways. You can prioritize stealth to avoid large fights, or opt for direct confrontation—each method changes how enemies react and how scenarios resolve. Success depends on planning, timing and using the party’s strengths effectively.
What to expect (highlights and suggestions)
- A mix of exploration and strategic combat that rewards forethought and adaptability.
- Multiple approaches to encounters, from sneaking past threats to engaging them head-on.
- A story-driven campaign with atmospheric locations and varied enemy types.
- Tactical depth: positioning, timing, and skill use influence outcomes more than button-mashing.
Alternate pick: The Movies (trial edition)
If you want a different pace and a change of tone, try the trial version of The Movies. It isn’t a tactical action game—rather, it focuses on creativity and simulation—but it’s a solid alternative for players who want something less combat-centric and more management- or story-oriented.
