This action RPG is a fast-paced mashup of Diablo 4, Path of Exile, and Vampire Survivors - and its full release is almost here
Dwarven Realms leaves early access this fall
After almost two years in early access, indie developer Crater Studios' thrilling 3D action RPG Dwarven Realms is nearing its full launch - and it's one that fans of other ARPG gems like Diablo 4 and Path of Exile won't want to miss.
As revealed earlier today during the Future Games Show at Gamescom Presented by Sid Meier’s Civilization® VII, Crater Studios will release Dwarven Realms in full on September 27. The early access game first dropped in 2022, with regular updates and seasonal events following throughout the years. The ARPG has scored a "Very Positive" rating on Steam since - a rating that speaks to Dwarven Realms' unique gameplay.

Described as having "the largest mob density of any 3D ARPG," Dwarven Realms pits players against relentless hordes of enemies, Vampire Survivors-style. The game also maintains the ARPG magic behind other beloved titles of the genre like Diablo 4 and Path of Exile, offering opportunities to craft creative builds suiting different styles of play and ever-changing seasonal mechanics to explore.
Dwarven Realms is as chaotic as it is challenging, too - Crater Studios calls the game an "absurd" experience, with everything from exploding mobs to "an environment where chaos is the norm." It's the perfect go-to title for any player looking to always be at the edge of their seat - and with the full fall release imminent, the ARPG is bound to receive even more heart-pounding action down the line.
If you want to dive into Dwarven Realms ahead of its full release, you can slay hordes for just $9.99 right now with Steam Early Access. There's plenty of fun to be had before September after all, with reviews thus far showcasing as much - one reads that the game "is worth sinking hundreds of hours into" already, while others state that the ARPG contains "enough depth to keep you interested."
