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 offers one of the most complex simulations of a fantasy world ever devised. While it is devoid of graphics unless you use a tileset, the 10/10 score is justified as it's one of the more deepest and immersive games out there. I would strongly suggest anyone who enjoys DF should go and donate a couple bucks to Tarn Adams, affectionately known as Toady, the creator of Dwarf Fortress.
