'DwarfHeim' Sets Steam Early Access Date - Screens & Trailer

by Rainier on Sept. 12, 2020 @ 10:59 a.m. PDT

DwarfHeim is a cooperative and competitive real-time strategy and city builder game.

DwarfHeim is a Strategy game where 1-3 players, manage and defend a Dwarven city against the constant threats of feral trolls and rivaling dwarven clans (another team of 1-4 players) in a search for the ancient throne of DwarfHeim. The game is the first RTS to feature a multiplayer co-op where you and your team must work together using your different classes and abilities to gather resources, grow and defend your dwarven city.

Survive the dangers of Agartha, mine its resources and expand your mighty city into the wilderness. By creating and enhancing different tactics and adapting to your opponents’ strategies in DwarfHeim, you must develop your settlement from a single building to a thriving stronghold. Vanquish your enemies, train your army, gather resources, increase your population and keep your dwarves healthy and strong by brewing potent ales so that they will continue to fight the good fight.

DwarfHeim's online co-op is best when played with friends, which is why, if you own the game, we want you to be able to invite your friends to try it out with you. This way you can experience the multiplayer as it's meant to be played.


Merge Games, along with Norway based developers, Pineleaf Studio, announced that DwarfHeim will be launching into Steam Early Access on October 22, 2020!
