Dwarf Fortress is a single-player fantasy game. You can control a dwarven outpost or an adventurer in a randomly generated, persistent world. The world is randomly generated with distinct civilizations spanning over 1000 years of detailed history, dozens of towns, hundreds of caves and regions with various wildlife. Command your dwarves as they search for wealth in the mountain. Play an adventurer and explore, quest for glory or seek vengeance. Extended ASCII character set rendered in 16 colors (including black) as well as 8 background colors (including black). Although Dwarf Fortress is still in a work in progress, many features have already been implemented. Please post all support issues in the forums for the game.
Dwarf Fortress is fun, whilst having a high learning curve, it takes a while to get the basic game but months to master every bit of content, dying is a main aspect of the game, it will happen alot, wether it be a dwarf uprising or a legendary rabbit. The game itself is alot of fun, I have played it for a few hours at a time and being able to create your own fortress from the ground up and defend it from seiges and the odd amount of angry elves who decided to attack because I chopped down every tree in the entire area gives a real sense of adrenaline. The game also has an optional "Adventure Mode" that plays out like the old ASCII game "Nethack" however this mode is far supperior because of the sheer size of land that you can generate to adventure upon. In conclusion this has to be one of the most played indie games I own and I have loved every moment of it
