The Dwarves Released [Dec 01, 2016, 7:56 pm ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
THQ Nordic announces the release of The Dwarves, a strategy game for Windows, OS
X, Linux, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. They celebrate the news with
a new music video
from German metal band Blind Guardian, who also helped promote the game's
Kickstarter. This page
has details on where this can be picked up, and here's the deal on the game:
Celebrate! The Dwarves have arrived. The coolest fantasy race of all time finally has their own, great adventure. Heroic dwarf Tungdil – scholar, smith and blessed with a gentle heart – has to gather a group of fellow companions and embark on an epic journey to save Girdlegard (the once peaceful realm of Men, Elves and Dwarves) from all evil.
The Dwarves offers massive-scale, tactical battles in real-time and a brand new, physics-based “crowd combat system”, to let the players feel the thrill of fighting hundreds of enemies with only a small bunch of heroes (no pun intended).
Besides the challenging combat, players can dive into a deep story, based on the best-selling ‘The Dwarves’ series of novel by Markus Heitz.
During its successful Kickstarter campaign back in 2015, developer KING Art Games allied up with the famous German metal band Blind Guardian, who are performing a tremendous song about The Dwarves: Children of the Smith’.

I've liked Blind Guardian for years! This is a really cool collaboration. Don't know anything about the game but this got my attention.
Ever played Sacred 2? Blind Guardian is actually in the game and they do a concert in the game. It was one of the most unexpected things I'd ever seen in a game, and I got a huge kick out of it.
OMG I totally need to install that!!!!
"The assumption that animals are without rights, and the illusion that our treatment of them has no moral significance, is a positively outrageous example of Western crudity and barbarity. Universal compassion is the only guarantee of morality."
Heh, is that Sauron the Dark Lord fighting WITH the Dwarves? Insta buy just for that reason alone, good guy Sauron heh! (Just joking, gonna check some reviews first!)
If you haven't read the novels yet and do like a bit of a departure from the standard Western style fantasy, these are great. Got all of em after picking the first one up in an airport and couldn't put it down.
Looking forward to giving the game a whirl when my dance card frees up.

Not to be confused with "We Are The Dwarves," which also features vertically challenged humanoids in a fantasy strategy game. 
This looks pretty interesting, I'll add it to the Steam sale list.

Anyone have any experience with this? I do like pausable, tactical combat.
