Gaming Update's CM Boots-Faubert takes an in-depth look at the upcoming fusion strategy and resource management sandbox title A Game of Dwarves from Paradox Interactive and Zeal Game Studios, which is set to offer gamers the genuine Dwarven experience on 23 October.
Starting with a first-impression formed at E3 2012 and progressing through a number of briefings and hand's on play at events that followed throughout the Summer, AGOD has proven to be an impressive and addictive experience.
Another day, another bundle full of games going for a very low price point. At only £3.59 for 12 titles, it’s hard to ignore such an offer. The games on offer cover a large amount of genres, hitting strategy, adventure, shooter and racing games, among others. It should also be noted that these game are not exactly indie titles, several coming from large established studios such as Paradox. But is the pack worth it?
Paradox Interactive’s Game of Dwarves, has received a new content pack. This time, the bearded folk will be looking after pets.
The Dwarves can look after a whole collection of different animals. They’ll need to make sure they have the right food, toys to play with, and, of course, somewhere to sleep.
PCG:A Game of Dwarves is on the management end of the spectrum. You have to look after a small collection of dwarves while hunting for treasure in the depths of the earth. You don’t have direct control over your charges – you just hint at what you’d like them to do by marking out areas for diggers to dig, crafters to build, warriors to fight, researchers to research and workers to grow food.
