Action roguelike platformer. How many times have we seen those three words merged together to deliver one gaming experience? Well, lots of times but that doesn’t mean there’s not room for another. Are you ready to head off on a Dwarf Journey? It’s an action roguelike platformer!
Dwarf Adventure would be our liking, but we’re not going to hold back from giving Dwarf Journey from Orube Game Studio a go just because of its name. That’s mostly because the Xbox Store blurb really sells this, delivering it up as an action roguelite platformer that is full of randomly generated levels. Standard fare there you may think, but then Dwarf Journey gets deeper as you head out on the search for minerals, which in turn will enable you to use better equipment. Keep that circle of trust moving and we’re pretty sure you’ll be leveling up and finding success in no time.
Priced at a mere £4.99, Dwarf Journey on Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S comes with some serious numbers to play around with. It throws you into the life of one wise warrior – the great Gallar – who is looking for some new pleasures. So he grabs his axe and heads off to the Valley of Eternity in search of a mystical cave.
Dwarf Journey then unfolds with multiple enemies spread across four biomes, tons of weaponry and armor blueprints to enjoy, four different attributes to evolve and – wait for it – no less than 500 rune combinations.
If you’re up for helping Gallar head into eternity, then the key features in summary include:
- • Achieve immortality! Help Gallar to continue his long and glorious journey into eternity. Will you be able to fight until the end for the lost relic?
- • Explore randomly generated levels! This action roguelite platformer offers challenging new experiences every time you play.
- • Defeat enemies and evolve your character! Fight enemies and bosses to unlock new routes and gather experience to grow and customize your character the way you prefer.
- • Collect minerals to forge better equipment! Gather ores and weapon blueprints you find in the depths of the cave and take them to the village blacksmith to forge finer equipment. Fight even stronger and more powerful monsters.
- • Customize your gameplay with runes and items! Find runes around the cave that will give your hero extra features. Assemble your build with up to three runes, forge items and set up your character in your preferred style. Choose your strategy and customize your gameplay!
- • Face bosses in epic battles! You must deal with wicked bosses who will challenge all your strengths and tactics. But be careful: as the levels are randomly generated, you can find the bosses’ doors right away. Have the wisdom to know your limits and the perception of the right time to face them.
- • Achieve immortality! Help Gallar to continue his long and glorious journey into eternity. Will you be able to fight until the end for the lost relic?
