I don't mind the ASCII graphics but I can't help longing for something more. Other than that this game is amazing. There's a complexity and depth here that's practically unrivaled by AAA titles (and most indie games as well).

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

Just... just an amazingly fun game. Once you get pas the learning curve
(or should i say cliff) it is by far the best indie game you will ever play, past Minecraft, Terraria, ect. (yes i have played all of them). Download this game (I would recommend getting off of the official site though), get the Lazy Newb Pack if you don't want the ASCII graphics, watch captnduck's youtube tutorials for a hour or two, then play and figure out the rest of the game as you go. Once you get into this extremely immersive game, every other game you play will seem 'just okay' compared to this masterpiece.

This game encompasses so many aspects, each of which could be talked about at lenght. The whole civilization/word simulator is simply astounding.

There is definitely a learning curve, but there are so many youtube videos out there, that it's very easy to get into it using them.

I'd say this game is a gleaming beacon of hope in the sea of incomware that the gaming industry has become. Tarn & Zach are doing a crazy job at creating an RPG platform that dwarfs everything that is out there.

As if that wasn't impressive enough, the modding community is just plain insane. Additional content, or complete reworks of DF are available. There is even a Fallout Mod...

In the end, Dwarf Fortress is a must for any fans of the old school rogue games, and those who like micromanagement type games.

Bay 12 Games know how to make FUN!(tm)

It really is an awesome game full of features, the only downside is the learning dificulty.
