THERE IS ENGINEERING, YOU CAN BUILD TRAPS AND BRIDGES AND EVEN STEAM-WEAPON OR TORTURE CHAMBERS >:D THE DWARVES ARE EACH UNIQUE, HAVING FEARS AND DREAMS AND OWN PSYCHOLOGIES THE GAME ITSELF HAS MANY AWESOME ELEMENTS MAKING IT FEEL LIKE A REAL WORLD. (A screen showing up one of the 3 pages of tasks/professions the dwarves can perform.) INITIALLY YOULL HAVE 7 DWARVES TO BEGIN WITH AND YOU GET TO SUIT THEM WITH NECESSARY ITEMS BEFORE EMBARKING. THIS GAME FOCUSES ON DWARVES TRYING TO BUILD UP A FORTRESS INSIDE A MOUNTAIN. (CREATING THE WORLD WHEN YOUR PLAYING FIRST TIME MIGHT TAKE A WHILE(1-15 MINS DEPENDING ON YOUR HARDWARE SETUP), THIS IS BECAUSE THE GAME IS ACTUALLY CREATING A _WORLD_ WITH CONTINENTS AND SEAS FOR YOU TO PLAY IN, SO BE PATIENT,YOULL ONLY NEED TO DO THIS ONCE.)ДWARF FORTRESS IS A ROGUELIKE GAME WITH 2 MODES OF PLAY, ILL FOCUS ON THE ONE I THINK IS FUNNIER IN THIS POST.Дwarf Fortress is a gamefeaturing two modes of play, a distinct, randomly-generated world (complete with terrain, wildlife and legends), gruesome combat mechanics and vicious hordes of elephants. to the right is a newly built, soon-to-be workshop area, personal quarters to the north and storage area on the bottom.

in the middle is a meeting hall where the dwarves are currently taking a break. *IF YOU DONT LIKE ASCII GAMES THEN DONT COME HERE WHINING ABOUT THE GRAPHICS* INSPIRED BY THE FREEWARE GAME THREAD, I THOUGHT THIS GAME IS JUST TOO STUNNING TO DESERVE A THREAD OF ITS OWN. I KNOW ISAAC AND TOMBOM PLAY THIS BUT THIS IS SIMPLY TOO AWESOME OF A GAME.
