The Dwarves Settle On Xbox One / PS4 and Windows PC


Posted on December 1, 2016 by Rae Michelle Richards

THQ Nordic has launched their cross-platform RPG title centered around the fantasy staple race The Dwarves on Xbox One, Windows PC and PlayStation 4 alongside a brand new music video by long-running German metal band Blind Guardian to celebrate the launch of the game.

Players take on the role of Dwarvan smith & scholar,  the heroic Tungdill, as he builds a group of companions as he tries to save the land of Gridlegard and save the races of Men, Elves and Dwarves.

Players and their group of chosen companions are able to take on hundreds of foes with 15 playable heroes across a multi hour campaign. During these tactical challenges The Dwarves will fight against armies of other fantasy races like orcs, zombies, dark wizards, elves and hordes of the undead. Developer KING ART promises that these battles will rattle player’s brains – they’ll have to plan out their next moves in real-time in order to overcome their foes.

Here are the recommended specs for the Windows PC version:

Recommended Specs

OS: Windows 7, 8, 8.1, 10

Processor: Intel Core i7 3770 3,9 Ghz / AMD FX-8350 4 GHz

Memory: 8 GB RAM

Graphics: GTX770 / R9 290 / 4GB

DirectX: Version 11

Storage: 25 GB available

Currently The Dwarves is available for 10% off on Steam for $44.99 CDN. The console editions retail for oddly specific price of $53.49 on the PlayStation Network and $33.99 CDN on Xbox One. For some reason the price of this title isn’t consistent at all across platforms.

Why Do Nippon Ichi Games Work So Well?

NIS America has brought us some amazing titles over the years. Even more recently, there have been some real slam dunks like The Guided Fate Paradox that really stood out as a classic. With another Disgaea sequel on the way for the PS4 much later this year, it really made me realizes there is a lot more here than just nostalgia. Sure lets face it, many of us knew or even played NIS games before the Netherworld tactical simulator came out, but it was Disgaea that really made NIS shine. The variety of the cast, fun writing, and the customize your own character options really made for a great experience that everyone wanted in on. Especially considering the original Disgaea has seen a couple rereleases by now.

Yet Disgaea isn’t set in stone, nor really is the NIS universe. We usually tend to get fresh characters, or completely new titles such as Makai Kingdom. So what is it that draws players back in so well that has made NIS such a powerhouse?Read More
