Dwarf Fortress
Slaves to Armok: God of Blood Chapter II: Dwarf Fortress
(Dwarf Fortress) is an ASCII game which includes both a
roguelike adventure mode, and the more popular Dwarf Fortress Mode,
which focuses on the creation and survival of a small dwarven
settlement.
The game has a very steep learning curve, partly due to its
ASCII graphics, but also due to the fact that it is an extremely
complex game.
Features include:
- Fantastic gameplay and depth
- Huge world to explore
- Three major game modes and a non-game mode
- Dwarf Fortress Mode: In this mode you manage a number of
dwarves whose task is to create a fortress.
- Reclaim Fortress:
Once you have created and abandoned
or lost a fortress, you can take a band of military
dwarves to fight the monsters that now inhabit it. If you succeed, the
fortress is yours to play in once more, just like in the standard dwarf
fortress mode
- Adventurer Mode: Explore the world in a fashion similar
to Rogue,
NetHack, or Angband, completing quests and killing monsters. In
adventurer mode you can uncover details about your world's
legends. The player controls an individual dwarf, human, or
elf. There is no goal apart from survival
- Legends: A way of reading through a world's
vast history:
- Various historical maps, such as historical
civilization expansion maps
- Entity listings
- Cities that civilizations have created
