Dwarfs!?

Personally, I'm not gonna be buying this because it looks like a shallow ripoff.

Discuss.

EDIT: I guess the forum's search function doesn't really work then, because I couldn't find any other threads about this game.

"Strike the earth!"
"A section of the cavern has collapsed"
"Your fortress has crumbled to its end"
Yeah, in the future you probably shouldn't strike the earth quite so hard

*sigh* Haven't we already seen this... three times...

I won't buy it, but it's not a rip off.

Flailing people to death with empty socks, though, that takes a lot of effort. Less so if the sock's made out of something interesting, but generally quite difficult.

Certainly not a ripoff, it'd probably be fun if it was.

Spoiler: You mean this search function? (click to show/hide)
Also, yeah not a ripoff and it's fairly fun if you're looking for a time-filling arcade-y kind of game.

The moment the lever was pulled, somebody's pet kitten stepped onto the bridge. I read somewhere that if a cat falls more than 11 stories, it instinctively flares its legs out to increase air resistance. This slows it down enough to stick the landing with relatively minor injuries. In Dwarf Fortress, apparently, cats don't do that.

Bay12ers need to relax about DF rip-offs. None are likely, because the game is mind-grindingly insane. And besides, Dwarfs isn't even interesting enough to write about eleven times in two weeks :)

What a strange and beautiful world I beheld, but dangerous too, I was certain. And I was friendless and homeless. And so I prayed.

God dam it yes we do! Do you remember what a bitch learning this game was? Being smacked in the face with a solid learning cliff? Not knowing there were z levels, and wondering where those darn giant eagles came from? Not knowing why your furnace wasn't fired? Trying to figure out how to assign jobs? DO YOU REMEMBER THE TRIALS OF A DWARF FORTRESS PLAYER? It is through these trials that we came to understand that people who play DF are just better then the rest of the world, and anybody who dares produce an easier to play clone is just trying to rob us of our prestige. The dirty filth mungers must be crushed before our zeal!!!

Ok, I'm done joking around.  :P

To all these current and future posts about this subject I'd just like to take a quote from a Power of Two developer on the steam user forums.

Quote from: Haihaine
[Directed at a Bay12 rager]
If you have played both games you'd know that there isn't in fact that much in common at all. As UMS said, Dwarf Fortress is a game of immense depth and complexity, while this is made to be accessible. In the end, they are completely different beasts, only sharing the fact that there are Dwarfs... and that they dig too deep

And come on, this rage is not only unfounded, but also unbefitting of a DF player! You're classier than that!
