A Game of Dwarves
Zeal Game Studio, Paradox Interactive | Released Oct 23, 2012
A Dwarven Prince on a quest to reclaim his people’s stolen land will take you on a great journey. Explore a continent filled with buried treasures and unearth mysteries that lie hidden since the Great War. Take charge of your Dwarven settlement while mining, exploring and utilizing your resources with a combination of strategy and management.
Order the inhabitants of a Dwarven settlement to dig, build and conduct research in order to strengthen the clan. Be careful though because you must defend your Dwarves from the terrible beasts that lie in the depths. A unique world is generated each time a new level starts, so you will need to dynamically adapt your strategies and tactics during each session.
As you advance, the Dwarves will level up and gain new skills; progressing from weak dwarvlings to near immortal warriors or master craftsmen. There are also rare resources to be found deeper in the earth that grant access to better buildings and equipment. However, the deeper you dig the more dangerous foes you might unleash…
Features:
Explore – The randomly generated maps offer replayability while also providing a sense of exploration
Build – customize your settlement with not only practical constructions, but beautiful ones too! Build objects you think look great, while still gaining progress. Home is where the art is.
Command – With an intuitive order system the player can easily control oodles of dwarves simultaneously without the need for extensive micro management

I'm going to have to hammer this game.
I really wanted to like it, enough to play 25 hours into the campaign. Everything beyond the first half-hour was just more of the same. All campaign stages and game modes play out identically, you dig and come under attack only when you deliberately dig into marked areas. The town management & combat & AI behavior are all *extremely* basic.
This is a 3D dwarf fortress with 95% of the game content and mechanics missing.

anyone else think its odd that steam if required for this game to run even though its on desura? shouldnt it require desura to run if thats the case? regardless im fine with it since i use steam desura and origin and a few others. but i wouldnt waste my time buying it here since i need steam to play it lol. ill just get it from steam.
I have Game of Dwarves on my Tracking List and check it out now and then. If you don't want to use Steam then fine I suppose, but I'm stunned that we still have the anti-Steam crowd after all these years, and you're missing out in a big way for questionable reasons. I've been using it for 7 years now and find it extremely convenient. The hassle of having to keep checking for updates and patches and then manually patch games is gone. The hassle of having to log onto websites, download packages and manually install is gone. I still do these things for some small time Indie Devs mind, but Greenlight is even helping those folks
I'm in full time employment, up to 12 hours a day, I don't have the time to mess about. Apparently I have 468 Steam games now, there's no way on this earth I would want to keep manual track of that lot, and the files have to be hosted somewhere online. If a company goes under (and they often do if you've been into gaming like I have for the last 20 years) then I'd have to backup the game to 2 seperate locations, in the event one of the storage medias corrupted
Steam makes so much money that I can't imagine it going anywhere anytime soon, digital media is the future and so far of all the varieties out there, Steam is to me the best out there, and far exceeds Desura and Origin
Steam actually offers several games that can be run without it - you can extract the folder and such and run it directly from the .exe. Most of these are older games, like the original Deus ex or free to play like Vindictus. Steam is a manner of DRM, but far more passive than most. Unfortunately, A Game of Dwarves is not among this, which was likely a design choice from the start, and should have been disclosed when the game's page was created. Especially considering the game had a steam page quite some time before it appeared on Desura, it boggles me how they neglected to mention it.
It is mentioned on the page. Would love to see this game not requiring Steam to play it.
Hmm, dumbed down dwarf fortress, eh?
How dumb are we talking here?
4th grade dumb

Thankyou for letting everyone know what a special snowflake you are.
It didn't say that yesterday when I first noticed his complaint.
Exactly. I would have seen that and NEVER purchased this game.
