The Dwarves Patch Adds New Challenges and More

THQ Nordic and KING Art Games have slapped some additional polish and a number of important enhancements on their RPG The Dwarves in a new patch that also introduces three new challenges to the game. The patch has been released across all available platforms, and the notes differ ever-so-slightly between them:

The Dwarves has received a major update, adding a complete new gameplay experience. With ‘Challenges’, players are given access to three different game modes. First is Horde Mode where the heroes fight against a vast enemy army that grows in numbers and difficulty from wave to wave. Time Challenge demands players to kill all opponents as fast as possible, whilst in Chase, the goal is to capture a running Orc with his rucksack, while hacking and slashing through his comrades.

These new modes can be played directly from the main menu. To add a competitive edge, players will earn points and can unlock all of the game’s 15 heroes to use them in these modes, with a high score leaderboard showing the results of each attempt.

The patch is now live on PC, Mac, Linux, PlayStation 4™ and Xbox One as a free download.
