Rating and Reviews (Monthly)
  

Chart showing the monthly evolution of Dwarf Shop steam rating, positive and negative reviews.

Here you can see Dwarf Shop's Steam rating and reviews between March 2020 and December 2023. Steam's rating is in a range going from 68% (March 2020) to 74.1% (December 2020).

Considering the 97 reviews, and if it didn't take too long to make the game, Dwarf Shop could be a small indie success. The chart is compatible with a long tailed distribution, which suggests there was a good visibility at launch but that it was not followed by significant updates or discounts.
