In Hammerting you establish a small dwarven mining colony in the unexplored mountains of Mara, level up your characters and industrialize with drills, robots, and lifts, delve deeper, fight enemies, and, of course, ensure there’s always enough ale on tap.

With a war raging on the surface, the dwarves pledge to delve deep and, as the master craftspeople they are, produce and supply whatever is needed. From humble beginnings, you start with a few, hurried dwarves who need to set up operations. Ultimately, your small clan of dwarves will be known throughout the Upper Realms for their skill, and the base will span kilometers.

The lush, vivid visuals make you go “Hot damn!”, and its dwarves yell “Damn, hot!” as they delve fervently into the mountain’s fiery depths. War rages on the surface. Only by supplying legendary items, crafted using the most blistering magma, can triumph be ensured.

Hammerting is available as Early Access through Steam, GOG and the Epic Games Store for $24.99/£19.99/€24.99.

Throughout its time in Steam Early Access over the past 10 months, Hammerting has received a hoard of updates that’s built upon a solid foundation.

Launching today, the Epic Crafting Update, introduces a plethora of new content including armor and rings, equippable lanterns, valuable epic level items, an overhaul to Mountain Lore and a wealth of other new content ready to be explored.

Past updates have included; The Fluids Update, which brought lava and water to the cavernous environments the dwarves call home, together with new tavern and drinks recipes, ingredients, and knowledges; The Overworld Update introduced an overhauled Overworld featuring procedurally generated factions, locations, and roads; and June’s Automation Update streamlined dwarven efficiency alongside the addition of a win state that challenges players to prove their dwarven mining prowess.

Key Features:

• You may find yourself having to craft oodles of silver swords against an oncoming vampire army, or a single Legendary Diamond-Encrusted Gold Crown of Divine Ruling +3 for an Elf princess’s coronation.
• As your dwarves increase in skill and your base expands, build conveyor belts and elevators to free them from manual labor.
• Vastly different biomes with distinct looks, creatures, plants, locations and events.
• Explore huge maps, farm and harvest plants, attack or use indigenous creatures to your advantage.
• The dwarves are always going down, down, down to find the most powerful materials and the rarest treasures.
• Figuring out the fastest and safest route down - and up again - is a chief concern, but you’ll have plenty of unique dwarven mechanisms to help you do so.
• Features liquid and physics mechanics for brewing beer, tossing torches down shafts to light up the unknown, and much more.
• Dwarves are generated with a host of traits and one dwarf is never like another. The player must manage their strengths, weaknesses, and interactions.
• Dwarves have goals they are keen to fulfill, goals that may not always align with the player’s.
• Events in a dwarf’s life can give them new abilities and traits.
• Modding Support: Extend the game with art, scripts, or even low-level C++.
• Co-op that lets you manage your colony with friends.

Currently available as Early Access through Steam, GOG and the Epic Games Store, Hammerting will fully launch on November 16, 2021.
