We Are The Dwarves is a unique blend of real-time tactics, puzzle-like combat, and dark sci-fi fantasy that stands apart from typical isometric RPGs. Developed by Whale Rock Games, it places players not in a Tolkien-esque mountain kingdom, but in the depths of a mysterious, asteroid-ridden space where sound and light are the only things keeping a fragile existence alive.

About This Game
We Are The Dwarves is an action-based tactical adventure with active pause (extreme slowdown of time) placing you in control of three Dwarven astronauts. Forcer is capable of ranged destruction, and timely set-up exectution. Smashfist, a brute at heart, gets up close and personal with rage worth avoiding. Shadow stays just where you'd expect him to, launching deadly successive assassinations and precision archery from afar. As a trio, combine each dwarfs attack styles into orchestrated destruction against your foe.

This game is actually pretty fire. The whole dwarf thing is cool and the combat is fun once you get the hang of it. I like how you gotta use different strategies and the multiplayer is a blast with friends. The world is big and there's lots to explore, keeps me from getting bored. It's one of those games you can just zone out and play for hours. Definitely worth checking out if you're into action and messing around with your squad. Pretty solid.
I played We Are The Dwarves and I really enjoyed it. It's fun to control three dwarves at the same time, each with their own abilities, and you have to think about how to defeat the enemies. The game is challenging at times, but that makes it even more interesting. The atmosphere is great, and you feel like you're in a different world. The graphics may not be the latest, but they're still decent. Overall, I'm satisfied with the game, and I highly recommend giving it a try.
cool toy. You can use a wide variety of tactics and strategies
Today I saw the exciting adventures of the gnome, I enjoyed climbing the levels
Unique world, tactical depth and great atmosphere — loved every moment!
it's a very interesting game with a cool storyline, good sound, and great characters. I'll play it every day.
This is an enjoyable game, featuring visually pleasing graphics and engaging gameplay. While I would recommend it, I must admit that 'The Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria' was more my style. Still, it's a solid choice for a playthrough, especially for players who appreciate a Dota-like feel.
These gnomes are specific guys, I can’t burn. I just do not do for them. Run my guys
an interesting game with cool design and music. I would like to mention the game's storyline, which is very fun. Thank you.
