It seems like now’s the time to make a fantasy building game. We’ve seen the long gestating Dwarf Fortress finally launch in 2022, bipedal lizards and beavers constructing villages in Against the Storm late last year, and, more recently, storybook monsters taking center stage in this month’s Goblin Stone. Now, another entry to this subgenre has appeared with First Dwarf, a building game that casts players as a mech and dragon riding dwarf out to build a new home for himself in a strange wilderness growing atop giant rock islands floating in the sky. After waiting a while for more information on the game, we finally have more to go on thanks to a new gameplay overview and an impending playtest.

It’s exciting to see the fantasy building genre expanding with games like First Dwarf! The concept of playing as a mech and dragon riding dwarf in a unique wilderness setting sounds like a breath of fresh air. Can’t wait to see how players will navigate the challenges of building on giant rock islands floating in the sky. As an esports fanatic, I’m always on the lookout for innovative and strategic games like this one. Looking forward to diving into the gameplay overview and upcoming playtest!
