KING Art Games has announced a new RPG with crowds of dwarves and unusual gameplay elements, based on a series of novels by German author Markus Heitz.
The Dwarves is a story-based tactical RPG, set in a fantasy world with a unique crowd combat system. The devs have built a very complicated system that takes into consideration a lot of physical parameters mass, dimension and momentum of individual characters to calculate a realistic flocking behavior. This allows for fun battles with a lot of hurling, smashing and throwing. Everybody pushes and shoves, squeezes and stumbles all at the same time. It looks amazing in action. The combat itself is very similar to Warcraft 3. There’s also the bullet time function that slows the whole thing down and gives you a moment to make a critical decision.
The Dwarves is based on the novel of the international best-selling fantasy series by Markus Heitz. The story is very complex and detailed, just like you might expect from a modern RPG. There are different types of dwarves in the game, each with its own design and features. Plus there’s going to be a huge game world with tons of places to explore.
The Dwarves
The game is being developed with the help of Unity engine. The project looks very detailed with nice lighting, luxurious character models and a intricately designed environments. KING Art Games has over 15 years of game development experience. They have released 40 games. No wonder their new title looks so cool.
