What is First Dwarf?

In this early-access survival action RPG, you pilot a dwarven mech across floating islands, gather resources, craft upgrades, build and defend colonies, and fight enemy waves. A scholar dragon accompanies you as you seek a future for the dwarves in a world broken by magic.

For you if...

  • +you like gathering resources and building island outposts
  • +you want co-op with distinct mech and dragon roles

Not for you if...

  • −you want action without crafting or colony management
  • −you prefer finished games over active development
