Game of Dwarves trailer delves deep into dwarven society
The latest trailer for Paradox's A Game of Dwarves takes a look at the many classes of dwarves that players will encounter. Like the digger dwarf, known as "Diggy." Strangely, fighter dwarves don't seem to be known as "Fighty" or "Stabby."
Paradox reveals 3 new games: The Showdown Effect, Dungeonland and Red Frontier
Paradox has, as promised, revealed the next three projects in the pipeline from Arrowhead Game Studios, Critical Studio and Zeal Game Studio at GDC. Each is set to launch on the PC and Mac sometime this year.The first game is The Showdown Effect, from Pixeldiet Entertainment and Arrowhead Game Studios -- you may recall the latter outfit's previous effort, Magicka. Paradox describes the game as "a 2.5D multiplayer action game in which players will be participating in death-matches to gain glory and fame." It's set in Neo Tokyo in the year 2027, and focuses on a cop destined to meet his ... destiny.The second on the list is Dungeonland, from Brazil-based newcomer Critical Studio. Up to three players assault Dungeonland, a theme park where adventurers can go to hack and slash stuff together, while the fourth player takes on the role of Game Master, devising traps and overall trying to kill their friends -- sounds like the perfect role for that one passive-aggressive friend of yours.Finally, Red Frontier is a competitive RTS that tasks players with mining resource deposits in space. Sharing is caring, guys -- even in the future we can't get along? It seems so.Hit the jump to check out the rest of the announcement trailers and some screens, hot off the wherever screenshots come from.%Gallery-149554%
Paradox announces 'A Game of Dwarves,' coming this year
Another tidbit from Paradox's convention in Sweden now: the company has revealed A Game of Dwarves. Developed by Zeal Game Studio, which has had some experience with dwarves -- and pirate ... griddles -- A Game of Dwarves is a strategy title that has players in control of a dwarf settlement, in which you must "manage your crew of dwarves to dig, build and defend themselves," reports Rock, Paper, Shotgun. A Game of Dwarves is slated for release this year, though other details remain under wraps for the moment. Head over to RPS for some more screens.
