Dorf, dorf!

Dwarven Brawl Bros is a local 2 to 6 player 2D-platformer-fighting-party-game with a retroish feel. The goal is simple: play as a dwarf and kill your bros! What more could you wish for?

Pick some weapons thrown at you, think fast, and hit others with whatever you just picked. Each weapon has its own pros and cons as well as three different, separate attacks - and a special attack to finish off your target (or weaken someone else) once you have successfully hit enough with basic attacks. Smack them from behind and push them into lava or spikes for extra damage: let the beards hit the lava in a slow-mo gorey flight!

Promotionals

Dwarven Brawl Bros is a brawler doesn't limit your gameplay to class specific skills or weapons. All the characters can use all the weapons and you can change your style and arsenal mid-fight. The brawling is made non-restricting and insanely fun!

But if you enjoy specific gameplay, like playing as a zombie or a fake-elf versus dwarves, there are game modes for that too.

On top of that, the stages are destructible, making individual bricks break and platform structures collapse, and the overtime system crumbles the stage if the match starts to get too long.

Dwarven Brawl Bros is fully controller supported, meaning that it can be played through the menus and the gameplay with a controller. No mouse or keyboard required!

Can my computer run it?
Dwarven Brawl Bros requires just a modernish CPU (~any CPU made within the last five years) to run smoothly and any graphic card capable of running shadermodel 3.0 (~any card made after 2005) to display all the visuals.

There will be options to turn down effects, so pretty much everyone will be able to play the game!

Mac and Linux versions will be released eventually as well!

DBB has reached 1.0! Out of Early Access & beta

Dwarven Brawl Bros has reached version 1.0, and is now out of Early Access/beta! This milestone is also a content update, adding one new weapon, two new stages, and one new game mode.

The price is now $6.99/6.99 EUR, and for a week there is a 10% off launch discount! The game can be purchased on Steam.

1.0

New trailer

There is now also a new trailer that shows the latest additions, such as firearms, in a four-player setting.

Early Access memories

We'd like to thank our Early Access supporters for valuable feedback that helped DBB evolve into its current form! The following were implemented during the two-month Early Access phase:

  • Firearms
  • Team game modes
  • Tutorial
  • Overtime
  • Frenzy
  • Full controller support, controller mapping in-game
  • New stages
  • New game modes (Dorf Ball, several spiced modes)
  • Disarming
  • Steam achievements, match stats
  • Huge number of bug fixes

The full controller support and controller mapping were added in 0.9.9.4 "minor update" recently, so if you missed the full-controller support early on, it is now there!

Now what?

If you still got any feedback or ideas, feel free to share them. Feedback is still extremely valuable, and it'll help making DBB even better!

Content update

1.0 is also a content update. The following were added:

New weapon: Mallet

Mallet is a hammer-like fast- and sure-to-hit knockback weapon with medium-light damage and short range. It is excellent for rushing and cornering enemies.

New game mode: Knock, knock
