Thieves of Dingirra is a story-based fantasy simulation / strategy game set in the world of Aravorn, precisely in the town of Dingirra (already seen in previous titles like Seasons Of The Wolf).
In the story you'll take the role of the "Master Thief". A mysterious masked figure recruits this foreigner skilled in thievery and stealth, entrusting them with a crucial mission: to establish a Thieves’ Guild in Dingirra. To do that, the mysterious figure offers a starting amount of money and recruits.
You now have the task of establishing this guild, first by ensuring a steady income, then by becoming the dominant underworld power in each of Dingirra's quarters. In the beginning of the game, four fifths of the city are controlled by the Four Families, the fifth is more or less public and under the Grand Mogul's protection. As your organization grows in size and influence, the four families may seek your services. However, your ultimate objective is to defeat them all and fully conquer the town of Dingirra.
To aid you in your quest, you can count on:

Abu, the Fence – a charming and cunning human who works as a fence for the Master Thief. He poses as a humble merchant, but he deals in illicit goods and knows how to evade the law. In the city of Dingirra, where everyone has a shady side, Abu fits right in. But behind his smile, he conceals a grim secret from his past that may explain his choices...

Halima, the Mistress of the Pits – a stunning and graceful woman with raven hair and emerald eyes. She wears tight black leather armor and carries a whip. She used to be a slave of Rafik, but now she is training and managing the arena slaves. She has a noble bloodline, but no one knows why she chose this brutal profession. Maybe she enjoys the thrill of cracking her whip too much...

Ghamal, the Toolsmith – a handsome, quite muscular man in his late twenties, with dark blond hair and bright blue eyes. He supplies the thieves' guild with the tools they need to break into places and steal things. He is a nice and diligent person, but he has a grudge against Labwa because of something that happened during the slave uprising years ago.

Yasemin, the Tavernkeeper – a gorgeous and curvy woman in her thirties. She runs the "Traveler's Delight", a place where you can drink, gamble, and find company. She also knows everything that goes on in Dingirra, and she can help you with information and quests. But don't be fooled by her sweet appearance, Yasemin is a ruthless manipulator who can blackmail anyone she wants.

Di'Aab, the proud warrior - who rose from slavery to become one of the Arena's champions. He has a close bond with Labwa, his childhood friend. He takes pride in his heritage and appearance, and he despises Halima and others who enslave his people in Dingirra. He is stern and aloof, but he will be faithful to those who earn his trust.

Labwa, the rebel - she might come across as frivolous, rebel and flirty, but everyone who underestimated her ended up dead. She can sneak or fight her way out of any situation, and she was unbeatable in the arena with Chalassa, her former lover. She shares a slave origin with Di'Aab, her longtime friend.

Reviews
*I was playing the beta so don't count my gameplay hours on steam* I LOVE this game. I recommend playing without the visual novel mode on your first playthrough because the gameplay is the core of the game and you can use the visual novel mode to skip fast and unlock all the endings. I love RPG with romance but add town management and I am being obssessed !! You can be Elf or Human and Male or Female. This and being Friendly/Joking/Forcelul can change some dialogues scene and thus being more personal and repliable. Overall amazing game, I recommend +++ if you love rpg, town management and romance. Thank you for this gem Winter Wolves !
Thieves of Dingirra is one of those games that makes you wish Steam offered more nuanced review options than just "Recommend" or "Not Recommend." While it advertises itself as a city builder with character customization, those claims are a stretch. The "character customization" boils down to choosing one of four preset sprites: male human, male elf, female human, or female elf. Equipment choices don’t affect your character’s appearance, and interactions with companions are limited to a few brief moments per act. As for the RPG elements, they feel lightly tacked on to what is essentially a visual novel. The story itself is relatively fun, and the presentation is decent, but if you're expecting deep mechanics or meaningful player agency, you might be disappointed. "Choices matter" isn’t entirely false—but the choices are few, and their impact is modest. Overall, Thieves of Dingirra is a mildly enjoyable visual novel with minor RPG flavor, but it’s best approached with tempered expectations.
Don't usually leave reviews for these games but felt like it for this one. It is not exactly a bad game, but it really doesn't overwhelm itself in any category. For a strategy game its passable, not really deep or interesting. There are a lot of numbers in play but not a lot of depth in practice. As for the VN side the story is interesting but for a game with adult themes I think I would have appreciated it leaning way more heavily into the adult nature of it. Theres a severe lack of nudity and sexual encounters that make the game feel like its just lightly dipping its toes into what could have been far more interesting. Overall, not really worth the price IMO, if its on sale for like $8 or less I'd say its probably more worth that, but if you want a strategy colony sim, there are better out there. And if you want some interesting characters with sexy sprites and romance, there are better out there.
If you've played Winter Wolves games before then you know that some of them are awesome and others are not as good. My personal favorites have been Loren (first and foremost) and Heileen and also Planet Stronghold and a few others as notable mentions. Dingirra is AWESOME. I have played about 3.5hrs so far and I'm loving it as much as (if not more than) Loren. The Winter Wolves studio have swung and missed a few times and it's AMAZING to see them come back with something that is very high quality and charming and fun and flirtatious and engaging. Here's a few highlights off the top of my head: Graphics - 8 - looks great for what they are and the artwork is fresh and hand-drawn and clearly not AI or anything mass-produced. Characters look distinguished and unique. Not all characters are attractive (to me) and I like the art style Sound - 9 - the music is awesome and thematic and varied and eclectic. There's different music for different screens and different scenes and different activities. Each one makes you feel like you're in an exotic bazaar or an opium den or the Sinbad sands of A thousand Arabian Nights or Alibaba and the Forty Thieves or Scheherazade. Honestly, the music is awesome and the battle music is even better! Storytelling / Writing - 9 - it's not Pulitzer prize winning stuff but what visual novel is? The story is fairly simple in the first 3.5 hours and the tutorial is very helpful. You're a newcomer to this city and you've been given the task of establishing a base of operations and building up power and becoming a major player in the political landscape. You hire mercenaries and run jobs and have your own independent compound and a team of people to hire and fire at your whim. Each of the gameplay phases feels unique and interesting and engaging. I like how the story unfolds day-by-day with your character having certain amounts of time to accomplish different activities. The English grammar is good. The jokes land decently. The flow and pacing of the plot feel organic. Nothing feels rushed or forced or slapdash haphazardly thrown together. It's definitely good. And if you compare this writing to other visual novel slop that's out there - this is some of the most articulate, witty, well-written storytelling that I've seen in a long time. WELL DONE!!! Romance - 8 - thus far the romance options appear to be very diverse and a lot of care and thought was put into each character's personality. I like the fact that there are options for almost every pairing you can think of (even though the standard cis-het pairings are fairly bland). I like the dialogue options and the personality development through traits. It's well done and just engaging enough to hold my interest. Not oversimplified. I'm gonna drop a little note for my personal disappointment in having Yasemine resist my cis-het advances because that's the only thing keeping the Romance score from being a 9 **wink** Overall - 8.5/9 - if you've never played a Winter Wolves game this is a GREAT entry into the world of Aravorn. I implore you to support a small, indie dev and give it a shot. If you HAVE played Winter Wolves games before then my ardent wish is for you to give this one a try because it's clearly one of the better ones. The amount of love and passion that went into this game and the gameplay and the UI and the mechanics and the storytelling is ABUNDANTLY clear. I hope these guys see some financial success and we reinforce their efforts by voting with our wallets. I wish them best of luck and I know I'll continue supporting them if they pump out games like Dingirra.
Gorgeous art and excellent soundtrack! I love the body diversity, and how you slowly get to know each character. The top three best parts of this game are Yasemin, Halima (I CAN FIX HER OKAY), and Shalheira is a real beauty. Gameplay wise, I love that the difficulty level is adjustable. The mission management is chill and doesn't feel like a grind. The tutorial is thorough but not overwhelming. The writing is amusing, and you can tweak your character's personality to be more joking, friendly, or forceful. Highly recommended, another banger title from Winter Wolves.
My favorite Winter wolves game yet, the gameplay has more complexity to it and is engaging and satisfying. The art is generally great and the characters are likeable and have interesting and complex interpersonal dynamics between each other. Definitely recommend!!
I love Winter Wolves games (I own almost all of them), but this is one of those times I wish there was a neutral vote instead of Recommended or Not Recommended. I enjoyed the story and the characters. (I went for our emo wolf boy for my first play through). BUT! The game is buggy. It crashed 6 times in my first day playing. And the guild management is tedious. Leveling up your guild members is boring and there is no batch process. The game play quickly gets repetitive, taking each district feels exactly the same, and there are so many... Also, the romance felt rather abrupt, at least for the one I picked. There was no confession, no heartfelt scene. Just randomly calling him 'love' after awhile. I wanted my magic moment! So, I'd Recommend it in story mode to speed things along. And save often, so when it crashes you aren't stuck losing hours of play.
The art is beautiful, the tutorial is well-done, the character's are unique, and the gameplay loop is fun.
Simple yet engaging. The storyline is well done, and the guild development is appropriate. Upgrading any of your holdings is a waste of money and resources, since the payback on the materials' value would take hundreds of turns, but it is still an option. I've enjoyed the game very much.
I was aware of this studio but had never really played their games before. Now, I’m hooked because I spent my entire weekend playing this game. The story and lore are intriguing and quite complex, and the characters are well-written. Also, the dialogue and tone can sometimes be heavy (which I love) but the game also has lighthearted moments. As an rpg, the game does have a few UI and balancing issues, but I believe those can be fixed with updates. I’m looking forward to future DLC or another game from the studio.
