Our take on DwarfCorp
Rather than centering on armies or dynastic rule, the game frames strategy around a profit-seeking dwarf company. Mining, shipping, employee discipline, branding, walls, traps, and mercenaries form a corporate colony structure inside a fantasy setting.
What is DwarfCorp?
Lead a colony of commercially motivated Dwarves in a procedurally generated fantasy world.
Explore new territory, dig underground for ores and gems, and ship resources to the motherland by balloon or vessel. Protect the settlement with constructed walls, traps, and hired mercenaries. Manage the workforce by promoting employees or punishing poor performance. Encounters include Elves, Goblins, Mole Men, Demons, and other species. The game also lets the colony create a company logo and choose its color scheme as the organization expands.

DwarfCorp compared to similar games
DwarfCorp combines real-time colony management, resource extraction, settlement defenses, and employee control, while Xenonauts focuses on turn-based squads defending Earth from aliens. Ashes of the Singularity: Escalation centers on managing vast armies across a galactic empire, whereas Old World follows historical empire leadership across multiple generations. DwarfCorp's fantasy colony and company-management structure differs from those military and dynastic approaches.
