Description

Dwerve is a Zelda-like action tower defense RPG about a dwarven tinkerer that uses turrets and traps to fight! Coming to Windows, Mac, and Linux in 2021.

Inspired by SNES RPGs like A Link to the Past, Dwerve takes all the mechanics you know and love: dungeon crawling, questing, exploring, and storytelling; and presents it with a new style of tactical turret-based combat where strategic turret and trap placement decide the outcome of each battle!

Features

  • Tactical turret-based combat. Combat involves making strategic decisions about which turrets and traps to build and where. During a battle you must rebuild, swap out, and reposition turrets to adapt to new waves of enemies and a dynamic battlefield!
  • Upgrade your arsenal. Unlock over a dozen turrets and traps, each with it's own unique upgrade tree. Purchase upgrades that make the turrets stronger. You decide which turret upgrades best cater to your favorite strategies and play style!
  • Discover powerful artifacts. Discover power artifacts: an arrow-blocking shield, dashing boots, a bouncing boomerang, a ground-shaking hammer, and more! These artifacts give the player special abilities to fight and outmaneuver foes!
  • Fully dynamic lighting. Explore dimly lit dungeons that come to life with dynamic lights and shadows that offers a modernized take on SNES-inspired graphics that pushes the boundaries of pixel art games!
  • Story-based campaign. Unravel the history of the dwarves and the trolls in a story that features diverse characters, unpredictable plot, and a fantasy world with it's own mythology!
  • Explore ancient dungeons. Explore ancient dungeons in multiple biomes, each with hidden secrets, mysterious puzzles, and interesting lore!
  • Dynamic battlefield. Engage in combat on a dynamic battlefield that changes as you fight with obstacles collapsing, falling from the ceiling, and emerging from the ground!
  • Solve challenging puzzles. Want to get extra loot or lore? Solve an optional puzzle! Or don't - it's up to you.
  • Complete daring quests. Each dungeon has it's own specific story-based objectives that you must complete to to progress the story.
