    This game requires a lot of patience to complete it. I found it absolutely brilliant and I have seen no bugs at all! The game runs smoothly and nicely.
    This is a treasure from a great indie games legacy!

    It's a beautiful and interesting game. Don't trust these newbies, who tells you that this game is too difficult. It's a logical game, it must be difficult. But after few hours you can handle easily any group of enemies and really hard encounters are rare. On contrary, I found some big battles rather enjoyable especially after winning it in a last hit before dying.

    I like the idea of this game to let dwarves to be main character and rts style game system. but I don't recommend this game because there are some flaws in control part.

    1. control set is contrary to general game nowadays. For example LMB is giving command and RMB is rotate camera. Although it's not a big problem and acceptable. but I think it's better to follow main stream control set    I like the idea of this game to let dwarves to be main character and rts style game system. but I don't recommend this game because there are some flaws in control part.

    1. control set is contrary to general game nowadays. For example LMB is giving command and RMB is rotate camera. Although it's not a big problem and acceptable. but I think it's better to follow main stream control set to let player play this game more easily.
    2. RMB cancel skill function doesn't work sometimes. have to click RMB several times to cancel skill.
    3. Sometimes can't click/select enemy even mouse cursor on it.

    Actually there're still some detail problem in this game. but I think to make a immediate and reliable control is the most basic and important thing for this game right now. This game is quite creative. I hope they can make a new game with this idea but more complete in the future.    … Expand

    This game has an interesting mix of stealth and combat mechanics, with a heavy emphasis on using the environment to your advantage. It is often quite challenging, but never seems unfair, since every encounter has, at least, one clever solution. Unique setting, great art and ambient music together create an awesome atmosphere of underground exploration and adventure.

    A really good game that needs time and patience to learn. Requires skill and punishes players who are impatient. Excellent art, and unusual setting.

    Shoddy graphics, clunky camera, a stump of a story - this game is rife with shortcomings. But, if you yearn for Commandos-style gameplay, this is probably the best option for you so far.

    This tactical game about dwarves exploring an alien planet will not forgive any mistakes and will boss you around, but is completely fair in its ruthlessness. It’s a shame that brilliant setting was wasted by writers and the game itself becomes monotonous after a while. [05/2016, p.62]

    Despite the original setting, it’s hard to say that We Are The Dwarves is an engaging game. It has three distinct characters, but their skills don’t lend themselves to interesting combinations. Not to mention that stylized graphic make it hard to tell the landscape features and enemy placement at a glance. [Issue#209, p.73]
