Incredibly lavish little dungeon roguelike, made by a single dev and oozing with personality.
Play it, get it, gift it- This game is like vampire survivors, an indie standout and a steal at any price.

Dwarf fortress.
Get it.

More stable than V1 or V2 at launch. Manages range meta a lot better than V2 did. still a beta but lovin it so far

Wonderful game. Don't play it. Cracktorio.

Yep

dwarves

A couple things to keep in mind before you let this review persuade you not to buy.
- First, check the date on this review, make sure the issues I highlight are still a problem.
-Second, early access is intended to allow people to assist the devs, both in bugfinding and also by funding further development.

Having said that, this game is currently non functional.
Extra stockpiles do not work, and you can destroy your beginning stockpile if you wanted to resize it.
Filling the stockpile can cause your dwarves to lose the ability to queue tasks correctly. Occasional clipping behaviour issues (dwarves sinking half-way into a layer, or dropping four layers into solid stone)
FPS issues if you have the game running for very long. Many crashes, most of which appear to manifest by interrupting the behaviour programming of your dwarves- ruining the save file.
Currently there is no/next to no community support around this game in the form of Wiki or Forum that I can find, which makes troubleshooting these issues difficult.


I don't recommend it generally.
But, if you feel like you'd very likely buy this game (once complete) and you don't mind being part of the development of a currently non-functional game, then maybe I would recommend it to you.

The core of this game seems to be a really nice collection of influences, Rimworld and Dwarf fortress being the most obvious.
And I think we need more games like that. Especially a game that really fulfills the Dungeon-sim niches of old, which this game seems able to do with it's tricky-but-clever UI/Slicing system, vibrant personality and bright artwork/audio.

tl;dr
game currently non functional- do not buy without knowing what you're signing up for but get it if you want to be part of the process that helps make this game grow.
