BUSSIN but missing "create last" option

This is a hard game to review.

It is the most fun I've had with any game in a long time, and is the most detailed "base building" game I've encountered.

The fresh coat of paint and tutorials have helped a lot with making the game accessible to a crowd that isn't interested in looking at a manual every 15 seconds.

If you're on the fence, give the game a shot. If you don't end up enjoying the game, you can still look at "Legends" mode for fun procedurally generated story time and you may enjoy adventure mode when it comes out.

A better time waster than Civ 5


it took me 10 hours to learn how to build stairs

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.

[OK]


im not a fan of this remake tbh

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

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.

Literally the best game in existence

Despite me being a certified freak who enjoyed the old visuals more, I'm happy the new visuals have opened up interest to one of the most rich gaming experiences created by a human being.

If I had to play one game for the rest of my life, it might be Dwarf Fortress due to it being dizzying in it's mechanical richness. Every run will be so wildly different from one another due it's randomly generated values that you might feel as though you are playing a different game. One run you might be waging war with the goblins and mining resources and going through the motions. Another you and the goblins have formed a treaty and are now punching birds together and taking the dead birds to a wizard who will turn it undead and then you use said undead birds to go fuck with the elves because fuck the elves.

I can see myself playing Dwarf Fortress on-and-off for the rest of my life. That's the highest praise I could possibly give a game.

So glad that the ui and tutorial were added to this masterpiece. Finally removed the my barrier to entry.

Absolutely incredible game that's held back by some awkward controls and UI decisions. I'm excited to hear that more programmers have been hired so the Steam version can get even more built out than it is at the moment!

True excellence in the colony sim genre and I know it's only up from here :)

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

Im sure its amazing, im really dumb

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

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

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)


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

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

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 >:(

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
