The Dwarves Reviews

I can't get the game to work

I hate to give a game like this a bad review, but I got to face the facts. My first review of this game was a thumbs up, but after completing the game in just under 8 hours I have to change my review. If the game was like 5-20 dollars then it would justify a positive review, but 30+ dollars for only 8 hours of game play is not a worthwhile transaction. Yes, the game is 95% good for that time, but once you get to the end there is no replay ability. At least, there is no replay ability if you are like me and hate to reread books you've read already. Furthermore, there is a clan of dwarfs that is essentially completely lead by females. I get this game came out in 2016, but that still doesn't change how much of a bad taste this put in my mouth. Here i was thinking I had escaped feminism in a game about dwarfs until it was in my face half way in the game for the rest of the game. tbh, if she had just been a competent female character then I wouldn't of cared. Having a dwarf equivalent of the sisters of battle isn't an issue to me, but when she's just shoved in my face and I'm told she's awesome right off the bat then i got issue. Well, now after this I'm left empty, wanting more dwarf game content that isn't deep rock, (I've played the crap out of that game, 10/10, but I've played so much i'm done there) that I don't have to pay 6 dollars an hour for.

This is a hidden gem but unfortunately there are a lot of annoying bugs. The game is short but in my opinion thats a good thing. You can easily complete it under 12h. The combat is a bit clunky and the progression is as deep as a puddle. But it was still satisfying to mow down hordes of orcs. The story and narration are very good and definitely the best part about this game.
