The Dwarves (Xbox One)

The Dwarves – Xbox One

Based on the bestselling novel by Markus Heitz, The Dwarves is a tactical fantasy RPG that puts the often-overlooked dwarven race front and centre. You play as Tungdil, a dwarf scholar raised by humans, who must venture across the land of Girdlegard to assemble a team of heroes and stop an encroaching evil. Combining a rich, narrative-driven campaign with challenging real-time combat, this title offers a unique take on high-fantasy storytelling.

Product Highlights

• Compelling Narrative: Experience a story-heavy adventure following Tungdil’s journey. The game features high-quality voice acting and a dedicated narrator, bringing the world of the novels to life with wit and cinematic flair.

• Tactical Real-Time Combat: Engage in "Crowd Combat" battles where your small party of up to four heroes faces off against hundreds of enemies simultaneously. Success requires careful positioning and the clever use of character abilities.

• Physics-Based Battles: Use the environment to your advantage. Heavy hammer blows and shockwaves can physically push enemies back, allowing you to send orcs and ogres tumbling off cliffs or into environmental hazards.

• Diverse Roster of Heroes: Throughout your quest, you can unlock and recruit 15 playable heroes, each with their own unique skill sets, personalities, and backstories.

• World Map Exploration: Travel across an expansive world map in a board-game style, discovering hidden side quests, engaging in dialogues with NPCs, and making choices that can impact the outcome of your journey.

Key Features

• Strategic Pause: Pause the action at any time to issue commands to your party members, allowing for precise tactical planning during chaotic skirmishes.

• Level-Up System: Customise your heroes as they gain experience, choosing between different powerful abilities to suit your preferred playstyle.

• Gory and Visceral: The game embraces a dark tone with "violent and visceral" combat effects that reflect the brutal nature of the war for Girdlegard.
