Description

Embark on an epic journey as a Dwarven Prince determined to reclaim his people's stolen land, exploring a vast continent filled with buried treasures and long-hidden mysteries from the Great War. Take full charge of your underground settlement by mining deep into the earth, gathering resources, and building a thriving community using a unique blend of strategy and management. Design and construct multi-level underground complexes while directing your dwarves to mine, research new technologies, and defend against subterranean threats.

The game blends city-building, strategy, and satire, offering deep customization and a humorous take on political power. Play on PC or Mac and experience the classic 2001 title that still feels fresh today.
