DwarfHeim on Steam
Title: DwarfHeim
Genre: Strategy, Simulation
Developer: Pineleaf Studio
Publisher: Merge Games
Release Date: September 27, 2021
Game Overview:
DwarfHeim is an innovative co-operative real-time strategy (RTS) game set in the mythical land of Agartha, where players take control of a dwarven clan to build, manage, and defend their city. With a focus on team-based gameplay, DwarfHeim challenges players to work together in various game modes to expand their settlement, gather resources, and fend off both external threats like troll invasions and rival dwarven clans.
Key Features:
Co-op Gameplay: Designed for 1-3 players, DwarfHeim redefines the RTS genre with its unique asymmetric co-op system. Each player takes on a specific class role – Builder, Miner, or Warrior – each with distinct responsibilities crucial to the clan’s success.
Builder: Focuses on expanding the settlement above ground, constructing buildings, and managing population growth through resource allocation and research.
Miner: Delves into the underworld to gather and refine resources, setting up machinery and traps for both defense and resource management.
Warrior: Leads the clan’s military, training units, and engaging in combat to protect and expand the territory.
Multiple Game Modes:
Conquest: A competitive 3v3 mode where teams strive to destroy the opposing team’s Town Hall in a race for supremacy.
Survival: Players band together to withstand endless waves of trolls, emphasizing teamwork and strategy in defensive gameplay.
Sandbox: A single-player mode for those who enjoy a more relaxed pace, offering a space to build and experiment without threats.
Skirmish: Test your strategies against AI-controlled rival clans in a series of challenging maps with varying conditions.
Rich Class System: Each class has unique abilities, units, and buildings, requiring cooperation among players to thrive. The choice of class can dramatically affect the gameplay strategy.
Underworld and Overworld Interaction: Manage both surface and underground environments, where actions in one affect the other, like mining resources for surface construction or setting traps below to hinder enemy advances.
Thanes and Heroes: Each class can choose from multiple Thanes (heroes), each with specialized skills and bonuses, adding depth to strategic planning.
Community and Friend-Pass: The game included a “Friend-Pass” feature, allowing owners to invite friends to play Survival mode for free, enhancing the game’s community aspect.
Visuals and Atmosphere:
DwarfHeim features an appealing, detailed art style that captures the essence of dwarven folklore with its mix of medieval and mythical elements. The game’s soundtrack and sound effects further immerse players in the gritty, industrious world of dwarves.
Challenges and Reception:
Despite its innovative approach, DwarfHeim faced challenges post-launch, including limited player base and developer support issues, leading to its eventual server shutdown. This has left the game in a state where it’s no longer playable online, impacting its multiplayer aspects significantly.
Note: As of now, DwarfHeim has been delisted from active sale on Steam, and while existing owners can still access it from their libraries, new purchases are not available directly from the Steam platform but might be found through third-party key sellers.
This game was meant to be a fresh take on the RTS genre with its emphasis on cooperation, but its development ended prematurely, affecting its long-term viability. However, for those who enjoy strategy games with a focus on teamwork and class-based roles, DwarfHeim in its available form can still offer a unique experience.
