This game is simply a great buy for it's price. It'd be worth it for arcade mode alone, but you get all the nice bonus modes. I haven't even tried everything yet,so I'll just stick to the modes I've played. -ARCADE- This is the main gist of the game. Build up and manage a dwarwen colony and keep it safe from harm. Sounds simple enough, don't you think? NOPE. The dwarfs aren't in your control, but dig about at their own will. Your job as Overseer is to step in when things take a dangerous turn. And yeah, you're gonna need funds for that. Drawing arrows for diggers, solidifying water/lava caves, building outposts, everything costs gold. And if you have no gold and something bad happens, you're royally hosed. Luckily, the more your dwarfs dig, the more gold you get. Arcade keeps you on your toes all the time, ready to scramble ASAP when a digger runs into something dangerous. It isn't easy even on easy, and when you crank up to tedi-hardcore, things get downright hellish. -BASE DEFEND- The Dwarfs!? iteration of good ol' tower defense. What makes this one different is that you get to make your own maze. This adds another layer of strategy to the mix. If you waste too much on the maze, you'll be severely lacking in firepower and risk taking easily preventable damage early on. On the other hand, make your maze too short, and it won't fit all the firepower you need later on, which I've learned the hard way. It's also worth noting that one tower type won't get you far. Spike towers aren't the best damage dealers, but on a stealth wave they're absolutely vital. Likewise, ignore the slow effect of spider towers and you won't get far. Trying to build defenses with only lightning towers means you have **** DPS, but without any Titans are gonna be a lot harder to deal with. It's all worth it in the end, the feeling of joy when you finally top your high score is hard to match. -RUSH MODE- Now this is a fun one. You have unlimited time, and your only goal is to preserve your digger. Sounds easy? Well, by the time you have 500 diggers, it's far from that. When things get cluttered, you're gonna have multiple diggers hitting a lava cave at the same time, and you can easily be set back 100 diggers by one big leak. -DARK MODE- This is like arcade^2. You can't see any tiles you haven't dug into, so every treasure, cave and enemy comes completely by surprise. In my experience you could call thes Dwarfs!?: Masochistic mode. It's truly a chaotic experience. -OVERALL- Dwarfs is a good game that's ideal for little 5 min gaming sprees. There is only one big downside. Repetition. This game repeats itself. Each game mode is fun for a few hours, but inevitably becomes boring. Aside from this, it's my go-to game when I, for instance, am having a 90min break between classes and want to play something my laptop can run. All in all, I'd never pay 20€ or more for this, but for the 8,99€ steam lists it at, it sure is worth it.
