Roguelite.orgAbout Dwarves: Glory, Death and Loot
Dwarves: Glory, Death, and Loot is an auto-battle RPG where preparation decides the result. Gold buys weapons and accessories, equipment defines each dwarf’s battlefield role, and the assembled army fights without direct commands once combat begins. Orcs, trolls, dragons, and other opponents expose different weaknesses. Victory brings more loot and a larger force, while rising difficulty demands a clearer formation rather than a collection of individually strong units.
The reroll system presents several possible battles, giving the player control over risk and reward before the army deploys. Skill points improve unit types through a tree, so long-term choices determine which recruits scale best. Watching the fight is not passive downtime: it reveals whether the frontline holds, whether ranged dwarves have protection, and which equipment fails to contribute before the next purchase.
How to play Dwarves: Glory, Death and Loot
Complete the tutorial before spending the starting gold, then equip each purchased item immediately so no value remains unused. Build a basic frontline and damage line before specializing. When the battle choices appear, compare the likely enemy threat with the army’s current strengths. A modest fight that improves equipment can be better than a high reward encounter that the formation cannot survive.
After combat, identify the first dwarf or unit role that failed. Use loot and skill points to correct that point instead of upgrading the most successful unit again. Keep inventory space and role coverage in mind when buying accessories. As the army grows, position and equipment interactions become more important than headcount. A smaller group with defined jobs can outperform a crowded roster whose weapons compete for the same range.
Dwarves: Glory, Death and Loot tips
- Establish a durable front and protected damage dealers before buying specialized equipment for one dwarf.
- Choose battles according to the formation you have now, not the army you hope to build later.
- Watch where each defeat begins and spend the next skill point or item on that unit role.
