Merge Games and Pineleaf Studio are currently working on their upcoming RTS DwarfHeim which is slated for a release in Early Access this fall. However, for this weekend, the developers are firing up the game and planning to stream the co-op RTS title as part of the Gamescom event. During the entirety of the weekend, the developer Pineleaf will be streaming the title on their official Twitch channel.
The developer’s streaming schedule is detailed below:
Friday, Aug 28
- 6 pm CEST Skirmish Mode Stream
Saturday, Aug 29
- 12 pm CEST Conquest Mode Stream
- 6 pm CEST Survival Mode Stream
Sunday, Aug 30
- 12 pm CEST Sandbox Mode Stream
- 6 pm CEST Conquest Mode Stream
The developer has also released new information about different in-game modes as well which is detailed below:
Single-Player and Online Co-op
Survival — A grueling and fast-paced challenge mode. All classes, buildings, units and abilities are immediately unlocked. Test your strategies and strength with the various difficulty settings. Challenge yourself and try to outlive the onslaught of troll waves that come your way in the Survival mode.
Sandbox — A more relaxed game mode for the player who likes to take their time. Expand your settlement across the map in this single-player mode. All units and buildings are immediately unlocked, build your own experience, and create your perfect settlement in the Sandbox mode.
Multiplayer
Conquest — The main co-op multiplayer mode of DwarfHeim. Choose a class, join up with 2 other players and work together to tear through the enemy team’s defenses and destroy their Town Hall.
New Game-Mode: SKIRMISH (Single-Player and Online Co-op)
Skirmish — Put your strategies to the test in this challenging mode. Pit your Dwarves against an AI-controlled rival clan in a series of maps each more challenging than the last. Overcome challenges in each map from varying abundance of resources to difficult terrain and destroy the other Dwarven settlement before they come for you!
The game’s asymmetric co-op style means that players stay with their chosen class for the duration of the game. All players and classes share the same goal of growing their Dwarven Clan and they will share the resources together. Different characters such as Warriors, Builders, and Miners must work together. Communication is key and sacrifice may be required in certain instances. For example, a Builder may need stone for walls but the Miner will need wood to refine the stone and build underground structures.
DwarfHeim is currently in development by Pineleaf Studio and will release later in Early Access. A closed beta is taking place from September 4, 2020, to September 6, 2020. Keys are being handed out over the game’s official Discord server.
