Fun mix of RPG fights and puzzle stealth
This game is not easy to like, as it tries hard to make the gameplay as unpleasant an experience as possible: Stupid camera that doesn't allow you to tilt the angle to see more than 20 meters ahead? Check. Combat UI where clicking an enemy (if he just moves a bit and is no longer highlighted in orange) makes you run towards him instead of attacking? Check Hordes of enemies with virtually no tutorial on the fighting mechaincs? Check Atrocious voice acting? Check. If you can forgive those things, you can get between 8-15 hours of fun from the game. The 1st Chapter consists of playing a couple levels for the shotgun wielding Forcer (moderately fun), then the dual axe wielding Smashfist (frustrating against long range foes) and ultimately the team of those two, where you get the hang of tactical pause to evaluate the battlefield and plan your attack (putting Smashfist on aggressive stance to shield Forcer from the swarm you can use him to deal with the big boss). If you do persevere to the 2nd Chapter, you'll get to play as Shadow - the stealth operative armed with a bow for long distance kills and a pair of kinves for the close work - whether for a backstab on an unsuspecting enemy or a cutthroat during a teleport (unlockable upgrade). If this sounds like fun for you then this is where the game truly shines (although it does not stop to be frustratingly difficult). Once all 3 dwarfs reunite, you can command them as an effective brute force team, but I found it more fun to play with Smashfist and Forcer in hiding and letting Shadow take down all enemies one by one, typically avoiding an alarm completely (stealth is really forced in three levels only). Boss fights require you to fight with all dwarves and you'll be pausing every two seconds to coordinate the attacks, which is frustrating, but oddly satisfying once you get the hang of it. The real problem is, that there is no 3rd Chapter, even though the story is far from finished. It simply says "to be continued".
