Hammerting

Hammerting is an strategy game wich RPG elements in which players take control of a dwarf colony. The game was developed by an independent team of Warpzone Studios.

Plot

Hammerting takes players on a journey to a fantasy world. While on the surface the forces of good fight a sinister army of vampires, deep below the mountains of Mara, the dwarves work hard to provide them with the best weapons possible. During the game, the player takes on the role of the administrator of the dwarf colony and leads it through the subsequent stages of development. Although it initially has only a few craftsmen, with time, it is joined by more and more daredevils, and its headquarters begin to reach deeper and deeper into the underground tunnels.

Mechanics

In Hammerting, the action is shown from the side perspective. Player is tasked with completing incoming orders for specific products. It can be both the weapons needed to fight the forces of evil and luxury goods like coronation swords or royal insignia. Although players will often need exotic raw materials to make them (such as dragon plasma increasing the stats of a regular iron sword), it is worth trying to get them. For valuable works of art, players receive appropriate payment, and the funds obtained in this way can be used for the development of their base.... which in turn will allow them to increase their manufacturing capacity and thus meet the growing demands of the customers.

As they progress, players' headquarters grow and they get new opportunities to improve their work. For example, carrying materials is facilitated by elevators (which is so important that the most valuable materials are located in the deepest corners of the underground), in turn belt conveyors significantly facilitate the transport of raw materials. In addition, over time the dwarves themselves, who have been differentiated in terms of their characteristics, origin, abilities, and equipment, gradually gain experience, developing their profession and increasing the chance of enriching their items with various bonuses.

Game modes

Hammerting can be played alone or in the multiplayer cooperative mode.
