Beneath the Mountain

Stay away from this game. The last major update brought in bugs that are very annoying and make the game unplayable. Examples: Camera has tendency to freeze at the beginning of the game and you cannot move it, unless you restart the game. Your engineers will stop working, instead they choose a random spot and go back there all the time, doing nothing for the rest of the game, unless you give them buildings to build. Soldiers will refuse to go to the tavern for healing, even though you have more than enough food. The ground in some caves is replaced with a black "void" and your units cannot go through it. Miners won't mine rock walls behind it, engineers will not fix the ground, and restaring the game does not make it disappear. All this happened last November with a big update. A smaller update in December was supposed to fix this, but nothing happened; it is still broken. And there was no update ever since. Devs just seem to not care, and the player count reflects it. This game was really awesome, but it was ruined by the devs and it's a pity, because it was a solid playable game and I enjoyed it very much.

As I understand it, this is a one person studio. The UI and pathing are a problem. Give it a chance. If this was making enough money to keep the lights on for the dev with the same problems, sure sure have at them. If this is their second job? Take it easy. Advice to dev: Fix these 2 issues. Halt whatever else is going on in the game dev process and focus on this. You will do your game a world of good and make the haters look for other things to complain about.

A fun Dwarven Sim builder/strategy. The game is about a dwarven king settling a mountain range, having to explore, exterminate and build up a kingdom, all the while orcs are launching waves of bloodthirsty warriors with the intent to wipe out every dwarf in sight. It's made by a solo dev, which is quite impressive. So far the game only really needs optimization, as the later parts of the game can get a bit laggy. The game has dwarven units, dwarven buildings, dwarven runic magic, dwarven armor upgrades, dwarven tech upgrades and is generally full of dwarf - which is very good, if you like dwarfs. I do, so this game is right up my alley :)

Originally played this through early access and was tolerant of the bugs, performance issues, and clunkiness at the time. Recently came back to it several patches after full release and although there are some improvements, it's still buggy, performance issues and clunky. Hasn't been updated for 6 months - I suspect this may become abandonware. Cannot recommend, especially at this price.

I want to like this game. I really do. But it puts the EARLY into recently out of early access? 2.5 hours in and can't even figure out how to save my game / there is no option or proper button. Makes me very sad.

Очень на любителя ДК. Баги, кривое управление - за два года с момента покупки управление ни капли не изменилось (Но баланс - да, игра стала играбельной еще полтора, но сейчас и интерес есть). В целом еще очень раняя версия, тут надо ждать море контента, ведь сейчас очень пусто - киллбокс, тавер дефенс и очень примитивная стратегия. Изменения видны, но идут они с гномьем скоростью. Через пару лет будет очень достойно, а сейчас просто играбельно.

At this time, dont recommend. I love dwarven theme and this game would be so much more fun if it was polished. I dont really like games where basic mechanics work form time to time. Like Army groups, I want to select Tunnel Rats not get carpel tunnel. I respect level or roleplay here, dwarves dont like hights. But it is really hard to defend when your guys choose if this day is not the right one to climbs walls and shoot from above. When game even on medium and ultra looks similar but tries to burn your graphics card to ashes even though frames stay the same. Not a fan Fix some basic bugs and it will be super awesome game to chill and fight orc Also one big mistake, you cant place dirt blocks or stone to block paths, if it is digged you cant put it back. You can place wall and slow or redirect enemies but not really make trap fun park for orcs to die, which is what you need if u want to survive big waves. There is also alot of good things this game does, like having your troops carry certain items which makes then into little heroes. Overall great concept and new fresh take on dwarfs/dungeon keeper style game but it needs more love.
