Hammerting

Hammerting is a vertical mining-colony sim with RPG elements. You manage a clan of Dwarves, build a mining operation and delve into the depths for materials, treasure and danger. As conflict rages on the surface, your Dwarves supply their allies with crafted goods, starting with a handful of workers and growing into a clan known throughout the Overworld for its craftsmanship.

Supply the Overworld

Allies on the surface make requests, such as silver swords for an army on the march. Each successful delivery brings the Overworld closer to triumph. As your base expands and your Dwarves gain skill, you can build conveyor belts and elevators to reduce manual labour.

Manage your Dwarves

Each Dwarf has individual stats, ancestry, traits, abilities, equipment and a move-set, among other characteristics. Events in their lives shape them, and their personalities bring both strengths and weaknesses: Åglöf’s fancy ancestry may clash with Vargskreva’s humble upbringing, while an explorer may be afraid of the dark. You can put your clan’s abilities to use as it works toward success.

Craft and improve gear

Dwarves can dig deep for diamonds and bones to use in crafting, including improved versions of familiar items such as the Iron Sword +2. Each hammer strike on an anvil gives a skilled Dwarf a better chance of a critical result, which can produce better gear.

Explore the depths

The deepest parts of the cave contain powerful materials, warm magma and rare treasures, but also more dangerous conditions. Finding safe, fast routes down and back up is a key concern, and Dwarven mechanisms can help. The caves also use liquid and physics mechanics: you can pump lava to your hearths, brew beer and toss burning torches down shafts to light the way.

Online co-op

You can explore and populate the depths of Mara alone or work with other players to run a Dwarven colony together, coordinating around shared goals.
