Is there anything more badass than Dwarves? Dwarf aliens! The new game from Ghost Ship Games puts players in the shoes of groups of dwarves battling alien monsters and mining ores in procedurally generated caves. The game sounds fun enough — and it is! You might get lost if you’re a new player. There is a brand to patch too (Patch 5 Build 79197), and there are quite a few changes!
