The Dwarves is a game based on a fantasy novel and such the game is pretty much story driven. Which is a nice thing, since the novel speaks much about the different races, their correlation to each other and what the mages are. So we are speaking of a deep lore here.
You control the game in a Top Down perspective and also deal the fights in this perspective. The fights are basically in real time, but like Fallout 3/NV, you can pause the game and use your action points (here shown as little shields) for your skills or set a command where each character should move to or who attack to. Over the time, your action points recharge and you can use the special skills again. And you need to do that, since these special skills really change the battle, either with hard hitting damage or with buffs or heals.
Outside of the Interiors or Regions of Interest, you move over a world map from point to point, where things can happen. As far as i can tell, these encounters are the same as in the books, but maybe there are more or even random encounters or events. Overall this is a really interesting game and if it follows the story, then it will be also a epic adventure of magic, treason, big battles and of course of love. And i think the game deserves some more love :)
