The best bits are when you're just starting out on a level, picking how you're going to strike out into the earth. The worst bits are when your fortress starts to sprawl beyond control, you lose track of things, and get bored because there's none of Dwarf Fortress's charm to distract you. A Game of Dwarves has a solid foundation, but you're better off with other DEADs.
Duncan Geere · Dec 26, 2012 Reviewed on PCRead full reviewA Game of Dwarves is exceedingly easy to get to grips with, and it's functional, if not as fleshed out as one would have hoped. For those looking for a fantastical management title, there aren't very many options, and the custom game mode alone will provide hours of exploration and mining, if you're not interested in the campaign. It's not a bad game, by any means -- it's just not especially great, either.
Fraser Brown · Nov 05, 2012 Reviewed on PCRead full reviewA Game of Dwarves is a niche title that does nothing to advance the genre or the perception of dwarves as anything but boozy, weaponized midgets. But its middle-of-the-road blend of depth and accessibility make it the sort of "strategy-lite" game that could appeal to players who want a little more cerebral stimulation from their electronic entertainment but can't be bothered to figure out Europa Universalis.
Andy Chalk · Oct 23, 2012 Reviewed on PCRead full reviewIt’s unfinished, it doesn’t communicate vital information to the player very well, and – let’s be honest here – it’s all more than a little repetitive. Every level just feels like you’re doing the same things over and over again. There’s fun to be had certainly in the building and exploration departments, but it could’ve been handled with a lot more care. This isn’t a game, it’s a tomb.
Chris J Capel · Nov 09, 2012 Reviewed on PCRead full reviewA Game of Dwarves is a gorgeous, full-fledged strat-sim that may not be immediately accessible to players who don’t normally dabble in the genre, but it blossoms into a fantastic adventure that fans of high fantasy or resource management will delight in ripping into. There’s already DLC planned and plenty to complete, so once you’re able to tear into the quirky world of this Game, you’ll no doubt have a blast.
Brittany Vincent · Oct 24, 2012 Reviewed on PCRead full reviewEn su justa medida, A Game of Dwarves es un título del que vale la pena disfrutar, pero que nadie debería tratar de convertir en su juego de cabecera, bajo ninguna circunstancia. Y el precio con el que se oferta, 10 Euros, es una razón perfecta para justificar su compra. El producto de Zeal Game Studio es entretenido, y nos sacará más de una sonrisa... y ya es mucho decir por tan poco dinero. Incluso si sois de aquellos que no se han atrevido nunca con Dwarf Fortress, puede que queráis dar una oportunidad a esta oferta mucho más cercana y amigable.
José Álvaro Sañudo Díaz · Nov 11, 2012 Reviewed on PCRead full reviewA Game of Dwarves est l'exemple typique du jeu sympa sur le papier, mais pénible dans la pratique. Sa caméra, son ergonomie, son manque d'équilibre et ses nombreux bugs gâchent tout le plaisir et la redondance de son gameplay finit de nous achever.
