Pineleaf Studio’s innovative RTS features strategic gameplay where players must defend and expand their dwarven cities

Manchester, UK – April 7th, 2020 — Merge Games, along with Norway-based developers, Pineleaf Studio, are delighted to unveil their new partnership to bring co-op multiplayer RTS, DwarfHeim, to PC. DwarfHeim is a co-operative (and competitive) Real-Time-Strategy and city builder game. 1-4 players build, manage and defend a Dwarven city against the constant threat of feral trolls and rivaling dwarven clans (another team of 1-4 players). DwarfHeim is the first RTS game of its kind and features co-op multiplayer gameplay where you and your team must work together using different classes and abilities to gather resources, defend your city and expand.

“When we grew up, we loved playing RTS-games, but in recent years the focus has shifted to games we can play with our friends. So at Pineleaf, we wanted to create a f*cking REAL co-operational multiplayer RTS. An RTS that you can play with your friends, and that is DwarfHeim.” – Hans-Andreas Kleven, CEO of Pineleaf

Survive the dangers of Agartha, mine its resources and expand your mighty city into the wilderness. By creating and enhancing different tactics and adapting to your opponents’ strategies in DwarfHeim, you must develop your settlement from a single building to a thriving stronghold. Vanquish your enemies, train your army, gather resources, increase your population and keep your dwarves healthy and strong by brewing potent ales so that they will continue to fight the good fight. For gamers curious to see more, the developers will be streaming the game on Steam today!
