Our take on Undholm
The emphasis on many possible routes to success can make the scope sound broad, but the game is still in very early access. Its current identity is a foundation for a flexible colony simulator, rather than a finished system with every promised path already available.
What is Undholm?
Manage a dwarven settlement in a fantasy world through mining, recruitment, production, trade, and military action.
Dig underground to create a mining base, build defenses, recruit dwarves for tasks such as cooking, or raid other colonies for supplies. Trading with settlements offers another route for obtaining resources, including the option to produce goods such as cakes for exchange. The game presents multiple approaches to developing a successful colony and encourages changes to base layouts as the surrounding world changes. Undholm is in very early access, with the stated plan to add more ways for colonies to succeed over time.
