🔥The dwarven furnaces roar with fire as the FULL GAME RELEASE is finally here🔥
With the full release, Season 4 rises from the anvil. The leaderboards are reforged from scratch - only newly founded clans may carve their names into the highscores. Fear not, though: all your hard-earned progress remains untouched, including your Gems, your Runes, and your existing clans.
This update is packed to the beard with new content:
🔥 Full controller & Steam Deck support
🔥 The final Raid boss, the mighty Forge Demon, now awaits challengers
🔥 New Artifacts to switch up your playstyle
🔥 A wealth of new Runes to reshape your builds and strategies
We’ve also hammered in major Quality-of-Life improvements. Dwarves and items can now be managed with Drag & Drop, dozens of bugs have been crushed, and the entire experience has been polished to a mirror-shine.
And for the first time ever, the adventure marches beyond Steam:
🛡️ Dwarves is coming to Nintendo Switch and mobile, letting even more bearded warriors join the fray - wherever the road may lead.
Sharpen your axes. Rally your clan.
🍺 Season 4 is here - and the forge demands Glory, Death and Loot. ⚒️
