Whale Rock Games, the newly formed European studio behind tactical RPG We Are The Dwarves, has just released a new and in-depth gameplay video where they narrate their play of the game and point out each of its core features.

We Are The Dwarves centers around three space-faring dwarves (Smashfist, Forcer, and Shadow) who are forced to search for a new homeworld after their own begins to die. Exploring space, these three adventurers fight strange beasts and traverse alien terrain all in hopes of saving their race from extinction. This is all done in a tactical, real-time-with-pause way similar to Krater or the Commandos series.

The three Dwarves all have their own abilities, combining stealth, control, and support skills to take down ever-larger groups of foes as they go deeper into the story. Using the alien terrain to their advantage, the environment plays a big role in the dwarves’ quest, since it can be used to duck behind for cover or even coerced to destroy enemies in the right situations…thanks to most of the plant life being carnivorous.

We Are The Dwarves officially launches for PC, Mac, and Linux this February 26th.
