A list of games where you can play as a dwarf and halfling
4K View2023-10-09Sounds very specific, I know. But that's because they're some of my favorite races and I think they're kinda underrated
So let's start!
Obviously you can count most Lord Of The Rings games. They'd usually give you the option to play as a halfling (or dwarf) especially if they follow the movies/books and I'll talk about some of them here.
1) DnD Online/ Lord of the Rings online
(Halfling and Dwarf)

These cool DnD/ LotR MMO from the good ol' days let's you customize your own character, choose your own race, and you can play as a dwarf or halfling!
Pick your class and jump into the world of DDO. Fight enemies, do quests, team up with other players, level up, gain skills. Ya know how MMOs work.
2) The Dwarves
(You guessed it, dwarves)
Steam Link
https://store.steampowered.com/app/403970/The_Dwarves/
Based on the book by the same name, the dwarves is a fun not too long game that came from a successful Kickstarter. It's real time combat where you control a full party with their own skills. Switch between your party members, utilize their skills, destroy the mobs of orcs, and emerge victorious! The game has great narration, voice acting, and a fun story that doesn't overstay it's welcome. It's defo worth playing if you're a fan of dwarves.
3) Neverwinter
(Dwarf and Halfling)
Another DnD MMO, one I been playing for years. This one is more advanced than DDO and allows for a little bit more character customization. Harness your skills as your chosen class, follow the main story to level up, get better gear, until you hit end level where the real fun begins. Farm astral diamonds to buy bigger and better gear using the auction house which gives the players some power over the economy of the game. It's a fun game that changes a lot through the years, not always for better, but it's still worth playing. It's free and you lose nothing by giving it a try.
4) Dungeons of Sundaria
(Dwarf and Halfling)
Steam Link
https://store.steampowered.com/app/587520/Dungeons_of_Sundaria/
Now this is a diamond in the rough, an early access looter dungeon crawler. It still needs a lot of work but what it has right now is great. It's fast paced, fun, and has split screen. The devs are working hard on improving this game and it gets updated constantly. Defo recommend giving it a look and supporting the devs if it interests you.
5) Baldur's Gate series
(Halfling and Dwarf)
Baldur's gate the series needs no introductions. We all know it. It's an amazing series and it gifted us with the ability to play as Dwarves or Halflings and make our own adventures and choices. Most of you reading this probably already played Baldur's gate 3 lol.
6) Dragon Age
(Dwarves)
Another series that needs no introductions. One of the best made RPGs out there with a great story and one of the most iconic dwarves in history... Varric. Decide the fate of the world, become Inquisitor, play nice or be a tyrant, and romance some companions along the way.
7) Deep Rock Galactic
(Dwarves)
Dwarves dig and Dwarves mine and that's exactly what you'll be doing in this game. Choose one of 4 classes and go explore a deep cave to mine as you try to survive hordes of giant spiders and other monsters that see you as a snack! Fun with friends but also enjoyable solo. A game every Dwarf fan should try out.
8) Dragonheir
A surprisingly fun and well made mobile RPG that lets you be a dwarf. We love to see it! The story is nothing that you haven't experienced before but it's still interesting enough to keep you playing. Summon heroes to fight alongsides your created character, level them up, become more powerful as you progress through the story and discover your role in it.
Honorable mention:
If you're looking for a game that's similar to Deep Rock Galactic and you're a fan of Lord of the Rings then you're in luck!
Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria is a co-op survival game where you and your fellow dwarves mine, craft, and explore caves! It's not out yet but it will be very soon!
LotR Return to Moria

All this mining and surviving is hard work. Maybe you want something more chill? Lord of the Rings got your back again. Tales of the Shire is a cozy game where you play as a halfling/hobbit and enjoy the chill life in the Shire. Not much is known about this game yet but it's certianly something to look forward to!

And that's all I got for now, of course there are other games out there I haven't mentioned here. Feel free to recommend your own! Thank you for reading!!

MMORPG GAMES UNRELEASED AND RELEASED GLOBAL. BEST MMOs I FOUND ON TapTap
Congratz you found it! The wishlist for MMO players that i (and You) never truly found on TapTap. The list contains MMOs im waiting for and playing if globally released (im from Europe btw.), i preregistered every decent MMORPG i found on the Store for the last 2+ years! Few are released, most of them are to be released globally yet to come. I recommend You to click Pre-Register too if you wanna get an awards when the game launch happens, or maybe a Closed-Beta test key if lucky! Wishlist rates from readers appriciated! PS. I think about three games are half-mmo, but still every game is massively multiplayer genre. From best browser mmos i found i suggest You to try Flyff Universe (events and tournaments happen, free trade, different classes, dungeons, arena etc. etc. + very high drop rate of rare equipment from the beginning of the game so it's cool) or Margonem (the 2nd one is polish but i think You can play in english language too, typical turn based 2D mmo, cheap p2w). some of the rest are fun too but require Adobe Flash Player, if interested try YouTube, some paid internet browsers got Flash Player so you can play on smartphone or tablet. The strong side of browser mmorpgs is that You dont have to download anything, just enter and play :)

This has the best graphics for a turn-based MMORPG
The first time I laid my hands on the game, I already fell in love with the graphics. The game really reminds me of summoner's war in a more medieval style. Although it's a pay-to-win game like any high-end MMORPG game, if you want to indulge yourself with a sandbox medieval game, you guessed it, I'd definitely recommend this one. I'm a dwarf player, and definitely, the skill sets are really aesthetically good.

Albion Online: Dark Souls meets Elder Scrolls!
If you like playing games that require you to grind, craft and attain skills to grow your character, then you WILL love playing Albion Online!
Albion is a very interesting game that I found while browsing through similar titles. The game takes place on an island that is full of mysterious wonders and enemies! The game itself gives off very similar vibes to Elder scrolls or dark souls in a mobile package.
