Hammerting is a vertical dwarven mining colony sim with RPG elements.
Manage a clan of colourful Dwarves, establish an epic mining operation, craft legendary swords and delve deep for greater glory, riches... and danger.
With a conflict raging on the surface, the Dwarves pledge to delve deep and as master craftspeople, will produce and supply what is needed to support their allies. From humble beginnings, you start with a handful of Dwarves who need to set up their operations quickly. However, as you progress, your small clan will expand and become known throughout the Overworld for their skill and premium craftsmanship.
Crafting for Victory
Allies on the surface will have all manner of requests. Dwarves may find themselves asked to craft a plethora of silver swords against an oncoming vampire army, or alternatively, for an elf princess’ coronation, they’ll be tasked with creating nothing less than a Legendary Diamond-Encrusted Gold Crown of Divine Ruling +3.
With the Overworld in need, every successful delivery takes you one step closer to triumph. As your Dwarves grow in skill and your base expands, build conveyor belts and elevators to free them of manual labour.
Colorful Personalities
Does Åglöf’s fancy ancestry clash with Vargskreva’s humble upbringing? Is your explorer afraid of the dark? Has your master crafter reached their Ballmer Peak? Aim for success and exploit the strengths of your Dwarves, as well as their weaknesses. Each Dwarf is richly and uniquely defined through its stats, Dwarven ancestry, traits, abilities, equipment, move-set and much more, as they are shaped by events occurring in their lives.
Skilled Craftspeople
Anyone can craft an Iron Sword, but only Dwarves can haggle a Crystal Cave Dragon to sell her fiery Plasma Breath, pump it up to an Andthril Forge of Doom and use it to craft the... Iron Sword +2.
With every strike of the hammer on an anvil, a skilled Dwarf has a better chance of achieving a critical result, giving you better gear.
Living Cave
It is as they say – “Fortune favours the bold”, and only in the deepest depths will you find the most powerful materials, the warmest magma, the rarest treasures, but also the most dangerous conditions.
Figuring out the fastest and safest route down - and up again - is a chief concern, but you’ll have plenty of unique Dwarven mechanisms to help you to do so.
Hammerting features liquid and physics mechanics for pumping sizzling lava to your hearths, brewing hoppy beer, tossing burning torches down shafts to light up the unknown and more!
Modding
Want to bring your own spin to Hammerting? The game has been built with modding in mind! A bundled SDK allows you to build pre-packaged mods, adding anything from new names, to plugging in full-blown systems in native C/C++. Documentation, additional hooks, and general support for this is something we plan for after Early Access.

This game is off to a great start. Solid game play and core mechanics. Now for the Early Access growing pains; the game suffers from pathing bugs and poor resource location recognition leading to production lines randomly halting even though there are resources available for them to continue producing and works getting stuck doing a little jig. All in all I am excited to see where this game will go, in it's dev cycle.
Whilst promising, the game is practically unfinished, unstable and incredibly buggy. Your dwarfs have severe pathfinding issues and will get stuck for no reason and the logistics system is absolutely terrible, with it taking ages to finish the most simple of requests because of how inefficient your haulers are.
Whilst there is combat and a militia job there is actually no real way to organize them, so if you order an attack command your entire colony fights the enemy one at a time because there's no way to muster them. You'd think that in a game like this there would be at least a barracks, but apparently not.
Development was discontinued. Poor sales led to funding being cut, and the vast majority of the game is badly unfinished.
There's still some enjoyment to be had, if you can temper your expectations. I would not recommend buying it without a massive sale, though, and you would likely still be better served by other games.
The devs sadly left this game to just not work much anymore. I still manage to play it well without much issues but think about about buying it before anything.
But overall I had a great experience, you might have to fix around settings to play it but don't expect too much.
I really like the graphics and the mechanics, it's similar yet unique enough.
Sadly, the game was never finished and it shows. Particularly the lack of a proper tutorial might be a dealbreaker for some.
From technical point of view the game seems solid.
