Same Dwarf Fortress under the hood
but now smooth-brain accessible!

Same DF that elitists have libraries dedicated towards, but now accessible to smooth-brains like me :D

Say what you will about keyboard shortcuts and workflow, but here's the thing; at the end of the day, you can MAKE A PRETTY DUNGEON IN AS LITTLE AS 5 MIN! On top of that, you can export it to an image file and use wherever! Furthermore, if you're like me and don't wanna update your OS just to export to .jpg (needs a .net framework update) you can still export .png and convert in gimp. You can even add your own art/tiles EASILY! Technically speaking, you can use this software to professionally design your own original content! All for $15. Fifteen dollars. That's foregoing ONE fast-food meal to make professional imagery forever. You can even blend terrain, add walls and dropshadows, convert templates, and so much more. Honestly just watch the trailer, it not only showcases the features, but introduces you to the software. I made a dungeon for a session within the FIRST 20 MINUTES of owning the software. .. you cant beat that

The best I've seen this game was still not worth buying. Please, it goes beyond saving your money. Save yourself from trying to scrape the bottom of the barrel trying to find adventure where there isn't any. THE TRAILER IS NOT INDICATIVE OF THE GAME. What you're looking at is a mish-mosh of community builds with extra shaders. The only people who will EVER recommend this game are hardcore devotees who have a stake in a faction server versing one another. THAT's the only highlight you will find. Hardcore devotees versing other hardcore devotees. Seriously, if you want a blocky space adventure: go mod minecraft. I CANT STRESS ENOUGH how disappointed you will be with this game once you buy it and find it basically unchanged 5 years later. There will NOT be anything to look forward to. Go ahead. I enabled comments. Prove me wrong (you wont). The only thing that can save this game is a SEVERE overhaul that simply will never happen.

The Crashing.. The not-quite-finished atmosphere..
Don't get me wrong. The game is fun.. But I feel we all have played enough of it to create an informative perspective. This game, is basically "GMOD; Story Mode". The comparison to strikingly similar titles is as follows;

Fallout 4
GMOD
Minecraft
The Sims

Using this table, it should be much easier to determine which game is right for you. Hopefully this helps!
