PC Windows

Hammerting is a game about Dwarves living in a mountain cave, where players create and manage complex supply chains to arm their allies on the overworld and defeat their common enemy. The game involves turning the cubic chaos of mountainsides into a work of order and efficiency through investing in the Dwarves' well-being and building proper infrastructure. The game's RPG-lite elements give players a sense of wonder in exploring the deeper reaches of the mountain. However, the game suffers from AI tendencies that make it difficult to maintain long supply chains and careful resource management. Hammerting lacks the polish to grease the wheels of its impressive management hybrid, but it's worth playing for gamers who want something new and unusual.


What we like:
  • Variety of skills and buildings to master
  • Solid writing and interesting stories
  • Procedurally generated maps
  • Good dwarven society-building mechanic
  • Unique and unusual gameplay mechanic
What could be improved:
  • Difficulty in managing resources
  • Frustrating AI
  • Lackluster overworld missions
  • Poor optimization
  • Needs more fine-tuning
