I was just looking for a game like this. Something like a turn based rpg, with real depth that isn’t full of garbage adds. This feels like exactly what I was looking for. I’m especially happy to support someone publishing a life long goal game as a solo developer. Great work on this project! I’m excited to see where it goes!

This game honestly surprised me. I didn’t really know what I was getting into when I bought it, but it’s well worth the money. The controls and the UI are REALLY strange, though. I ended up scrapping my first clan because I thought it was bugged (it wasn’t bugged. I just didn’t realize you *pick up* things with a tap, and I didn’t understand why I couldn’t put my dwarf where he needed to be). And the HUD just doesn’t feel natural to navigate. I feel like the tab orders don’t make sense (I find myself tapping other tabs before I remember the tab I want is completely opposite side). And I end up accidentally selling things I don’t want to sell because you have to RE-tap the coin bag in order to end it. I’d also love QoL improvements, like being able to my dwarves” growth stats WITHOUT going into the tavern (and then the next tab is the crafting screen? And then the tab after that is your dwarves again lol).There are small annoyances and frustrations, but the game is just so incredibly fun and addicting. I love it and I’m so happy I bought it. Note to people also new to this game: where you choose your next battle determines which location you’ll end up, so consider that when you’re choosing battles! (You can also reroll battles, btw!) The location determines what items and with what affixes an item can have. Ex: Caves (purple gem color) give dexterity, crit chance, and poison resist. So you probably wouldn’t want to craft a shield while you’re at the Caves!

This game is worth the price, and I enjoyed it for several hours, but it became repetitive and lost its appeal halfway through my third run. I don’t expect much more for $5, so I do recommend it to anyone who’s on the fence. The first time playing, the poorly explained menu mechanics will make you want to start over and play again once you’ve figured them out, but that’s where the replayability ends. The menus are poorly laid out, disorganized, and buggy, which wouldn’t be as big an issue if there was gameplay outside of the menu system. There’s a large skill tree to explore and tons of equipment options to use to optimize your group, but the gameplay itself lacks the variety to remain engaging otherwise. So, if you love grinding to get the most optimized gear and min-maxing your skill tree, this game is for you. Just don’t expect any action. Your dwarves fight the same handful of enemy types over and over again and do so automatically. Your only role is to manage your team and equipment. I will still play this from time to time until I’ve unlocked all the equipment, but it has lost its appeal for now.

A deceptively complex game where you manage the weaponry and tactics of a company of dwarves. There are tons of viable builds and more open up as you progressively move through the between run skill tree.If you like Caves of Qud or other deep games with simple art styles, this could be for you.
