Dwarf Core

Dwarf Core is an idle-management game about a growing colony of dwarves who mine for resources. You send dwarves into the mine to gather materials, gain experience, improve their stats and craft pickaxes. You can also take direct control of a dwarf and help with the mining.

Grow your colony

As new dwarves arrive, you can hire them to work for you. Each has a unique set of positive and negative traits that can make them valuable members of your team. Manage the camp by day and mine by night: the smelter works through the night, turning ores into ingots, and each new day brings you closer to meeting more dwarves.

Develop your dwarves

Each dwarf has an individual upgrade tree with 200 nodes. Upgrades to power, speed, stamina and luck let you shape specialized builds. Dwarves can also gain powerful abilities to help them mine through obstacles.

Mine, craft and fish

Craft pickaxes from five different types of ore. Each pickaxe has improved stats and bonuses allocated from its upgrade tree, so no two are the same.

Fishing offers a calmer activity. Dwarves eat fish while mining to regain stamina, and with the right technology unlocked, you can find fish that grant random temporary boosts when eaten.
