If you understand Rimworld, you'll understand at least the very basics of Dwarf Fortress. Rimworld costs 30$ and I felt it was not that hard to get into it. 2h is not enoguh to check out this game, is it?

How is the learning curve of this game, I mean 30$ and you might end up frustrated. The thing is, I think none of them actually reached the DF level at all where you manage hundreds of dwarfs with ease at some point even in the old version The game itself has ton of content, more then any other game trying to act as DF on it's release. Originally posted by Danse Macabre:30$ for this masterpiece is totally valid. We're not paying 30 bucks for a tileset, we're giving them 30 bucks because it's Dwarf Fortress on steam and it's the best damn Dwarf Fortress it's ever been. It's the best damn tileset there's ever been, as well as all the other stuff with the UI and usability.īut you're entirely welcome to play the free version, which is getting some of the UI updates without the slick coat of paint. I dunno, it's 'just a tileset' the same way as a car's just a metal box with wheels. Etc etc, I'm sure there'll be even more things to add when I get my hands on it. It's also a tileset that has never and could never have been done before, thanks to a big rewrite to enable forgotten beasts and titans to have modular assets.īut on top of that it renders severed bodyparts, worn clothes and armour, wielded weapons, beard and hairstyle and colour, skin colour, every different rock and wood have different textures whereas before they only had so many colours, large entities can spill over the tile they're in.
