About the story
In the massive hollow mountain of Mount Crowcrest, there once lived a great nation of dwarves. The dwarves discovered power stones while mining deep in the mountain. They used them to power machines and, eventually, entire cities. They lived in peace and prosperity for centuries. Over time they became infatuated with power stones and dug deeper to find more. One day they dug too deep and unleashed the Gloomdark Hordes, an army of trolls and monstrous creatures. Once the dwarves realized that trolls turned to stone in the sunlight, they fled far from the mountain and found refuge on the sunny Hills of Brekka. Centuries passed and, over time, the dwarves forgot their traditions and abandoned craftsmanship and innovation in favor of warring and raiding. History became myth, and myth became bedtime stories. But whispers of a long forgotten darkness echo throughout the valley of the great mountain. It can be heard in the Snoring Forest, by those who dare to enter...

Critic Reviews
Thumb Culture
By Thumb CultureEven though this game has its issues, I still enjoyed the gameplay. That’s why I’m giving it the Thumb Cultures Gold Award.
Seasoned Gaming
By Steve EspositoDwerve managed to break into my top 10 titles of the year (so far). It is witty, colorful, and fun. It may be a bit simple, and difficulty may fluctuate at times, but I still found it all incredibly enjoyable.
TechRaptor
By Adam Arterwerve satisfies with a refined, fast-paced tower defense system that is both accessible and challenging.
NoobFeed
By Justin Van HuyssteenIf you can get over those rather specific issues, then Dwerve certainly is a different take on the tower defense genre, and if you like tower defense, you could definitely do a lot worse! And the game should keep you occupied for a good ten or so hours, but replayability may not be there just yet.
