Dwarf Fortress

'Dwarf Fortress, two words that should strike fear into the hearts of any fan of empire oriented games. DF is a game done in ASCII graphics and coded with an Assburger's focus by Toady One. Toady played Rogue then thought to himself "I want to build a town in it".

The motto of DF is "Losing is Fun." And if your fortress isn't burning, over-ran with demons, with half your military tantruming and slaughtering their way through your peasants, you are doing it wrong. Dying horrifically is what DF is all about. Though it is simplistic in graphics, the depth of the game's mechanics makes some corporate sponsored shit look like a pile of severed dicks. It is truly amazing the level of violence that was able to be incorporated into some ASCII characters.

The game itself features two main play modes - Dwarf Fortress Mode and Adventurer Mode. Adventurer Mode allows you to explore the land you've helped shape and create all while dying horribly to the various denizens of the world. Fortress Mode allows you to build your Fortress (hurr durr) and attempt to thrive. Being a pure sandbox game, the end will come unexpectedly and more likely than not, hilariously.

If you think you can master this game in five minutes like the basement dweller you are, you're fucking wrong. Be prepared to spend 13,254 hours trying to figure out how to make your dwarf fucking walk.
