A dwarf-themed roguelike RPG platformer game
Dwarves: Glory, Death and Loot is a soon-to-be-released 2D RPG platformer with hack-and-slash gameplay that runs on Windows desktops. This roguelike platformer & auto-battler game by ichbinhamma is reminiscent of both Slay the Spire and Terraria. It boasts primitive graphics with similar life and mana menus.
The Dwarves: Glory, Death, and Loot (DGDL) game features a whirlwind army of dwarves. The cast has a variety of special skills, letting players charge through a forest to decimate orcs, trolls, and dragons for the sake of loot and potentially a glorious death.
What is the Gameplay Like in DGDL?
Like a gameboard, Dwarves: GDL features 3 major phases per round: the event phase, battle preparation, and the battlefield. The event phase involves choosing from 3 options: buy (equipment), recruit (dwarves), or battle. Next comes a selection of equipment and battlefield positions, and the final phase involves auto-combat with permadeath, mana-dependant skill activation, and wisdom-based mana regeneration.
What Does Dwarves: Glory, Death and Loot Come With?
Players get 3 dwarves and 500 gold to start with, and they can build a clan 10-dwarf strong. They can choose among 7 classes of dwarf (Thief, Knight, Archer, Mage, Priest, Supporter, and Warrior), 7 attack types, 15 skills, 60 pieces of equipment, and various types of enemies.
DGDL, A Whirlwind Auto-Battle RPG
Dwarves: Glory, Death and Loot is a game ideal for nostalgic RPG players who still run on Windows 95. Its fantasy characters tick a lot of boxes (dragons, trolls, and orcs), and then there’s also the pull of the Discord community to make this upcoming roguelike scratch the proverbial auto-combat itch.
