Разработчик: Dwarves Might Fly
Описание
Play as a dwarf and kill your bros! DBB offers fast-paced brawling in all-vs-all, all-vs-one, and team settings with 31 weapons, 38 stages, and 26 game modes!
Weapons!
The gameplay is weapon based. Each weapon has its own pros and cons as well as three different, separate basic attacks - and a special attack to finish off your target (or weaken someone else) once you have successfully hit enough with basic attacks. Smack them from behind and push them into lava or spikes for extra damage: let the beards hit the lava in a slow-mo gorey flight!
Just brawl - it's a party!
Dwarven Brawl Bros is a brawler that doesn't limit your gameplay to class spesific skills or weapons. All the characters can use all the weapons and you can change your style and arsenal mid-fight: each dwarf can carry up to three weapons, replacable on-the-fly. The brawling is made non-restricting and insanely fun!
Spice it up!
If you enjoy specific gameplay, like playing as a zombie or a fake-elf versus dwarves, there are game modes for that too. Matches can also be customized with different gameplay settings, such as setting hit points and special attack unlock damage.On top of that, stages are destructible, making individual bricks break and platform structures collapse by the weapon hits, projectiles, and explosions.
Couch-friendly party game
Just sit back, grab gamepads and beverages: this is a perfect party game to play with your friends (or foes). Team up and go co-op, or fight alone against others!Dwarven Brawl Brosis fully controller supported, meaning that it can be played through the menus and the gameplay with a controller. No mouse or keyboard required!
Latest updates:
What DBB has:
- 31 weapons: melee, ranged and explosives, each with three+one different attacks, with unique damages, knockbacks, and others attributes

- Pre-made collections with rotating game modes for different play sessions
- Retro, cute & brutal pixelated art-style

- Chiptune-ish sfx and music that you miss once you turn it off
- Announcer in both floating text and Pixel Display ("scoreboard") announcing kills and other events - it's a dwarven party!
- English and Finnish translations
Can my computer run it?
Dwarven Brawl Bros requires just a modernish CPU (~any CPU made within the last five years) to run smoothly and any graphic card capable of running shader model 3.0 (~any card made after 2010) to display all the visuals.There are options to turn down effects, like the physical clutter, so pretty much every modernish configuration can run DBB smoothly.
Still unsure?

[quote]Warning: Dead PVP Game
This game has no single player content, and no playable PvP servers. There is no functioning PvP population, it's a dead game, and cannot be played.[/quote]
Dwarven Brawl Bros is an unabashed, lazy ripoff of Super Smash Bros (Copyright Nintendo, 1996). Many lazy "amateur" developers don't pay attention to their obligations under copyright law, and often steal the ideas of actual, real game developers without credit, such as the "developer" here has done. At this stage no legal action has been taken by Nintendo against the "developer" here, but it's never off the table, as previous copyright law cases have shown.
Just like Super Smash Bros, this is a multiplayer platformer brawler, but replace the decent graphics and colourful Nintendo characters with a bunch of crap pixel "dwarves", and you can see why even conceptually, this was doomed to fail.
Putting aside the unethical intellectual bankruptcy of stealing someone else's game concept for profit, this is also breaking that unwritten law of stealing other people's game ideas... you should at least try to do better than the game you're ripping off. Dwarven Brawl Bros is considerably worse than Super Smash Bros.
SteamDB shows the game hit all-time peak player numbers only when cards were added to the game, with only a tiny 210 concurrent users, which is a pitiful number (most of these were card idlers and not players), and now the game has practically no players, with nobody playing at all, just one or two people logging on every week or so then quickly deleting the game when they see how bad it is. Why did it fail? It's video game autopsy time!
The developers made the fatal, lazy mistake of believing that PvP, other players, would be an acceptable substitute for doing the difficult job of adding single player level design, storytelling, NPCs and other rich aspects of designed game content to the game. As a result of this choice by the developers, the game has little to no actual interactive game content. It's a little considered fact that the vast majority of PvP only, multiplayer only games fail.
Developers must learn that other players are not an acceptable substitute for doing the job of game developers and building a game filled with content. PvP only games must have a huge player base for them to "go viral" and succeed. But with no single player experience to add lasting value to a game, the developers instead chose to bet against all odds that their game would "go viral" without any actual reason for players to want to play the game. Predictably, they lost this bet.
A choice was made to use obsolete, decades old retro pixel "art" as a substitute for contemporary PC graphics. It's unclear if this is due to lack of budget or talent, regardless, the overall visual quality of the game is extremely low as a result.
While there are options to change the resolution for the game, all this does is scale up the simplistic 2D art assets used to make the game, which makes little or no difference to the graphics quality. Without any other substantial graphics tweaks, it's not possible for gamers to improve the lacklustre 2D visuals.
While this is on PC, it has all the hallmarks and deficiencies of a console game, from the clunkier than needed control scheme to the less than cutting edge graphics. There's 10's of thousands of PC games on Steam, and PC gamers deserve only the best. This might not appeal to many gamers due to the lack of PC-centric design. It's unclear why this game was never accepted on the video game console appliances it seems to have been designed for.
Dwarven Brawl Bros didn't appeal much to the people who own a copy of the game, either. It has achievements, and they show us a very clear picture that the game didn't really capture any interest from gamers. The most commonly and easily attained achievement is for starting the game, trivial to get, but less than 14 percent of players bothered to get that far before uninstalling the game. Hardly a success story, gamers just weren't all that interested in the game.
Reviewing SteamDB to check how popular this game was with players reveals a surprise... there's a very healthy spike in player counts for the game. But this isn't consistent with the achievement stats, that show less than 14 percent of players bothered playing the game for any reasonable amount of time. How is it possible for this game to have so many concurrent players who didn't bother engaging with this game? Trading cards. People will use card idling software to collect the cards and sell them, but this won't trigger any achievements in-game.
That tells us people only really bought this game for trading cards, and that's a damning indictment of the woeful quality. A closer look at the numbers shows the game just has a couple of players every week running up the game and idling it for cards, then deleting it. We must ask how it benefits gamers for there to be so many games like this, with no merit as a serious game, that only generate sales from people idling and selling the trading cards.
This just isn't worth the $5 for an unplayable dead pixelcrap game. There's better free options.
It stands out only with its local multiplayer and different modes
Really fun party brawler. 6 controllers supported natively. Great variety of weapons with interesting movesets and specials. Lacks a counter/dodge mechanic to be truly deep but is deeper than it looks nonetheless.
its a fun party game i do recommend
Its not a bad game lots of options but somewhat clunky menus. For some reason my son really likes it so its got that going for it.
extremelly funny to play with friends !!!
Fantastic local multiplayer game.
This is currently the only game installed in my Steam library. I don't have much time to game, but this is an easy game for when I have some down time and my brother is around to grab controller #2. Super easy setup and once you've become accustom to the controls, you can start the fun immediately. The only thing I wish is that there were more game-modes or something. Maybe new levels, too?
Fantastic game.
Bought this because I wanted to expand my collection of local coop/local versus games.
+many different weapons, all with their own special ability
+caotic, towerfall-like gameplay but with health bars!
+different game modes
-multiplayer only
-navigating the menu is a painfully unintuitive
-ingame controls are unclear and not easy to set up (awkward menu)
-music is terrible and consists of only one track. You have to play your own music!
Conclusion:
I thought this would be a nice addition to Towerfall but in the end it is too annoying to set up. So I end up never playing it and thus cannot recommend it.
Ask your friends if they like it. If they don't, find new friends.
EDIT:
After 300+ hours of gameplay with my friends, I hereby succumb to their nagging about my outdated review.
I had said a few negative things about the game. Sorry, Dwarven Brawl Bros! I now know that you are the one for me.
The world should get to know this game some more. Nation-wide tournaments should take place every now and then. World-wide ones at least yearly.
Play this game.
Please do.TL;DR: Unexpectedly fun local hotseat multiplayer action game.
This is pretty addictive 2-6 players local multiplayer (aka "hotseat") action-packed game. There's really nothing much to add about it -- gameplay is fun, art is oldschool-ish, music is neat and kind of reminds you of old time games.
Gameplay consists of picking up weapons and exterminating other players (in general). There are several game modes (didn't try all of them yet), but there's generally not much going on, in terms of originality -- those modes are your average action/arcade multiplayer modes, with basic death match overruling every other one.
The only thing this game lacks severely is online multiplayer. I mean, local multiplayer is great, but it'd be so much better to play it online.
Good thing, however, is that devs are warning you before you buy the game (at the very top of the store page, just below the screenshots) that there is not single-player and no bots. That's a very good and honest thing to do, I respect that and I think that every indie dev should be like that, in terms of what your game has to offer.
Overall, I'd recommend this game to anyone who enjoys local arcade/action games with friends. For just $1.24 (the price of the game during the sale) it's easily worth the money.
We had a grill sesh while playing this game. Beer, gin, whiskey, chicken, and steak, but all that shit wouldn't fix how much I didn't enjoy this game. Basically if you get a gun or a hammer in this game, you win. The matches were so chaotic which isn't necessarily bad, but it felt incredibly unpredictable.
Pros:
- Lots of weapons
- Random weapon drops at the start of matches
- Very short matches which makes replayability high (if you like this shit)
Cons:
- Fuck guns
- Fuck spears
- Fuck hammers
- Fuck lava
- Fuck this game
4/10
I liked everything about it, except trying to get multiple controllers to work on my pc, first my keyboard and steam controller both insisted on being player 1, then I had to manually remap the keys on player 1 to something else then remap player 2 to the original keys, so as to separate the controllers and force them to be separate players(why wasnt that automatic? seems very central to the core concept of the game?) anyways I did that then the button on the steam controller didnt all work(just the left right up down mappings, pickup jump etc, all went away, and I doubled checked the bindings). spent an hour working on it, getting frustrated, and returned it.
Its really too bad, looked fun to play with my kids, but it needs to be smarter about it. After all theres no situation where multiple controllers need to control 1 player, so why make that the default setup?
Very funny game ! Amazing !
A lot of gameplays, not all are really fun but some of them will give you many hours of laughting !
Very nice that we can play to 6 players !
Finally, a game that my friends and I can play together with out needing internet. I have really bad internet so this game was a no brainer.
Har! Har!
If you have friends to play locally, this is a MUST buy.
It's simple, everyone can learn it awesomely fast, and it is god damn fun. Despite what it looks like, you will have the time of your life with some friends over shouting at the screens with this game :)
BUY IT
game is very good but needs some patch work and rebalancing because 1v1 is
unfair i spawn into lava somtimes or the person im playing with as soon as i drop in knocks me into lava or kills me befor i could get a weapon. alsothe controls config needs some improvment i had to contact the dev to ask how to set it so i could play with just a keyboard and controller but besides that this game is wonderful i love the art style and the combat is smoothe i rate it a 8/10
Really fun 2-6 players brawler in the mould of Super smash bros. lots of stages and modes in the game and i love the blood effect (set to heavy). the battle starts with every player equipped with his/her bare hands and many weapons are thrown around the stage (nice variety of weapons and lots of them are very fun to use) you can pick up 1-3 weapons and switch between them as you like. after a few hits your special will be charged and each weapon has its own special attack.
Highly recommended if you have enough buddies to play with <3
This game is pretty fun, but it has some glaring problems as a party-game.
The controls are way to complicated for people who are not familiar with video games- this is a fundamental problem with party-style games because there will always be someone who isn't a huge gamer. If they can't figure out the controls, then it's going to really hurt the experience for everyone.
The control tooltips need to detect what type of input is being used (instead of saying "down + swap" or "hold the back to menu button to quit"). I still don't know how to quit this game without ctrl+alt+delete.
The menu needs some UX touches. I love that there are lots of options, but the current multi-page display and navigation is confusing. I was looking for options for audio, but there are none. The music in the menus is extremely loud compared to other games/media.
As far as gameplay and physics and stuff they seem to have it pretty solid. I think with better controls and UX on the menus I would recommend this game. Looking forward to it coming out of Early Access.
This review is based on version 0.9.8.2.
Dwarven Brawl Bros is a very fun local multiplayer game. The core gameplay is very fun and has a lot of potential. However, it is not without flaws and definately is not ready for prime time yet.
Issues in no particular order:
* Many of the melee weapons seems to have an excessively long cool down. I'm assuming this is to discourage spamming but it's unnatural to see the dwarf hold the end of its swinging animation for a few seconds after attacking, and makes it hard to do anything at all during that time.
* The menu, while cool in theory, simply isn't good. It's hard to navigate through all of the game types and is not intuitive. It should not need a block of text at the bottom that explains how to get around. I suggest putting the game types in a list and having things like the settings menu accessable via a selectable button.
* Speaking of settings, relying on the Unity launcher is a big no-no. It looks unprofessional and can't be used with a controller. While it's acceptible for a game that's still in development, it needs to go before the final release. All of those options (graphics settings including resolution, fullscreen/windowed/borderless windowed, vsync, etc. and key mappings) should be in the in-game settings menu.
* Speaking of key bindings, the controller mappings should probably default to the Xbox 360/One controller layout as that is the most common layout on PC. Also, a game that is ideally played with controllers should be FULLY controller compatible. This means (again) no Unity launcher but also a binding for the Esc key's functionality, which currently cannot be rebound and requires me to get off the couch and go to my keyboard in order to, say, exit the game.
I know listing a bunch of issues makes my review sound like the game is bad. Actually, it is the opposite. The core gamyplay is, again, very fun. That being said, it is an early access game and I bought this game with the intent of providing feedback to improve it while it is in early access.
Bottom line: The core gameplay is very fun. Invite some friends over and enjoy playing it like other local multiplayer games such as Nidhogg, Towerfall, Speedrunners, Gang Beasts, Spelunky HD (in deathmatch mode), and more. Assuming development continues on its current track, this game is worth it, particularly at the current price (USD$5.99).
Dwarven Brawl Bros offers interesting maps, diverse weapons and a range of game modes.
The game is deceptively simple initially, however there are loads of game modes and the weapons, combat and maps allow for fun and creative strategy.
A vast array of very different weapons are offered, and many maps offer dynamic events.
Weapons offer different abilities and can interact with the map. You can use knockback to push people into spikes, destroy platforms so people fall into lava, or destroy platforms to prevent the enemy from reaching you and snipe them to death.
For the price tag it is certainly worth it.
