RPG 06 August 2008

An unusual RPG developed by brothers Tarn and Zach Adams, inspired by classic text games, especially those from roguelike genre. The story of Dwarf Fortress is set in a randomly generated fantasy world, where we command a group of dwarfs dreaming of wealth and fame. The way to make those dreams reality is to complete the tasks given to them by NPCs or to dig for resources and produce various items. The gameplay combines features of cRPG, life simulation, and strategy, offering surprisingly complex mechanics that take into account not only the heroes' skills, but also the materials used to craft weapons and armors, effects of bleeding, poison, or pain, aimed attacks, wrestling skills, and luck. The game sports unconventional visuals, entirely made with ASCII code.
