Truly a great game made only better by the Steam release making it much more accessible. My only gripe is the amount of time you truly have to dedicate to this style of game.

this game blue screened my old laptop multiple times

Even after all this work this game still needs a mountain of UX upgrades before I'd consider it worth playing regularly. You can't even pan the camera smoothly.


the children yearn for the mines. a game I didn't really expect to have as much fun with as I did. it's not as difficult as it's said to be when you learn the basics

This is a labor of love, one of the most fleshed out ideas, one of the most complex simulations you can play. So in depth I love it from the depths below to the highest peaks.

Goblin stole my baby >:(

My dogs keep getting attacked by rhinos and I don't know where they are.

Allow me to come back to this later but from what Ive played it just feels like a chore. I want to get into the possibilities of this game but I cant

i thnk this one was based off dwarf fortress only it took inspiration from minecraft too (i am a dwarf and im mining a hole)

I'm shelving this for now, but it couldn't be further from the truth to say I didn't like the time I spent with it so far. Dwarf Fortress seems like the time sink I needed a couple of years ago, but I just don't have the time currently. It's one of the coolest game concepts I've seen and I already spent a bunch of time in Rimworld, which is (i think safe to say) directly inspired by DF. If you like colony sims, city builders, strategy games of any kind.... you won't necessarily love DF, because it's so excessively complex you will have to study the game and spend hundres, if not thousands of hours in there to really have experienced it fully. I hope I will find the time to check it out more thoroughly, can't wait to do it actually. <3

Хорошая игра и не такая сложная как кажется, вот культиватист симулятор хуже холокоста, а в дворфов просто приятно играть

Im sure its amazing, im really dumb

at the end of the day, aren't we all just dwarves in a really big fort?

I really need to watch a tutorial for this cause I don't know why my dwarves are unhappy
I've given them everything they need, They've got a hole in the ground.
And thats all they really need why are they unhappy?

really wish i could play this without needing 50 hours of video tutorials alongside, could be the perfect experience for me

A world-wonder curiosity-object. I can't click with it, but I like feeling it in my hands, trying to understand it. I will surely pick it up again some day, study it, and put it down until the next time.

Uma semana de vida, totalmente valeu a pena oferecer essas horas para criar uma fortaleza. Quando lançarem o adventure mode, voltarei mais forte, e mais focado

Great game, love being a dwarf. Study in-game physics to create a safe waterfall to mist dwarves to make them happy after they're suicidally depressed after being rained on. Great game.

Literally the best game in existence

This game is important, everybody knows that. Most tell themselves, however, that it's just not for them. If that was true for most, it wouldn't be important. And you know it is important, so what are you doing? This game isn't going anywhere. It's gonna be here like this every time you check, never waning. Might as well get your hands down in the mud, work your brain, accept your mortality and learn to play Dwarf Fortress.


This game is so fucking good and playing it makes me realize how fucking dumb I am

im not a fan of this remake tbh

[OK]


Adding mouse support and actual graphics to Dwarf Fortress was always going to make the game a hit. I know this because RimWorld is and it's just Dwarf Fortress with mouse support and actual graphics.

Obviously, it's great to see the OG get that treatment and the decades of development DF has. It's an awesome game, if you love base-building and random story generated games, you need to play this. It really isn't that hard to get the hang of.
