Description

Hammerting is a vertical dwarven mining colony sim with RPG elements.

Manage a clan of colourful Dwarves, establish an epic mining operation, craft legendary swords and delve deep for greater glory, riches... and danger.

With conflict raging on the surface, the Dwarves pledge to delve deep and as master craftspeople, will produce and supply what is needed to support their allies. From humble beginnings, you start with a handful of Dwarves who need to set up their operations quickly. However, as you progress, your small clan will expand and become known throughout the Overworld for their skill and premium craftsmanship.

Crafting for Victory

Allies on the surface will have all manner of requests. Dwarves may find themselves asked to craft a plethora of silver swords against an oncoming army.

With the Overworld in need, every successful delivery takes you one step closer to triumph. As your Dwarves grow in skill and your base expands, build conveyor belts and elevators to free them of manual labour.

Colorful Personalities

Does Åglöf’s fancy ancestry clash with Vargskreva’s humble upbringing? Is your explorer afraid of the dark? Has your master crafter reached their Ballmer Peak? Aim for success and exploit the strengths of your Dwarves, as well as their weaknesses. Each Dwarf is richly and uniquely defined through its stats, Dwarven ancestry, traits, abilities, equipment, move-set and much more, as they are shaped by events occurring in their lives.

Skilled Craftspeople

Anyone can craft an Iron Sword, but only Dwarves can dig down into the depths and cart up boatloads of diamonds and bones and use it to craft the... Iron Sword +2.

With every strike of the hammer on an anvil, a skilled Dwarf has a better chance of achieving a critical result, giving you better and improved gear.

Living Cave

It is as they say – “Fortune favours the bold”, and only in the deepest depths will you find the most powerful materials, the warmest magma, the rarest treasures, but also the most dangerous conditions.

Figuring out the fastest and safest route down - and up again - is a chief concern, but you’ll have plenty of unique Dwarven mechanisms to help you to do so.

Hammerting features liquid and physics mechanics for pumping sizzling lava to your hearths, brewing hoppy beer, tossing burning torches down shafts to light up the unknown and more!

Online Co-op Mode

A Dwarven king once said: “A single axe is easily blunt, but an army of axes is unbreakable!”. You might want to explore and populate the depths of Mara on your own, but you can also partner up with jolly comrades and run a dwarven colony together. It’s all about synchronization, companionship and common goals!

Alight so, I've had this game since it was in Early Access and it was a neat game that I enjoyed seeing development for. And it is actually still quite fun, but after finally getting around to beating it, it has a lot

It's still a pretty great game with some pretty deep mechanics, but unfortunately the lack of automation means it doesn't scale and eventually you're bogged down just micromanaging things that don't really make sense.

I tried to give it a chance, but it is just bad. You have to have a special interest in this type of game to actually enjoy it. The dwarves are mostly braindead, their AI will do bizarre things that you did not ask for,

This game is abandoned. It had so much potential, and they squandered it. Steam should allow refunds for BS like this.

The graphic and logic of the game is great but it becomes un-playable very quickly. It took me only 4 days of playing to reach a state where the lag became unbearable! So bad that I uninstalled it.

Hammerting is an ambitious dwarven colony simulator that mixes deep crafting systems, vertical base-building, and resource-driven progression into a sprawling underground world that constantly shifts between discovery
