While the game's bugs might not be as 'insane' as DF has(not that I often hit 'em besides the DODGE UPWARDS A WALL AND STARVE one) this damn game has a problem. In the form of the only miner often stopping to do any work at all. Looks like job designations randomly get screwed up and the guy then is frozen still trying to complete a job that's supposed to be over already or whatever and god damn do they want to finish that work.

Didn't know about the music deal, sounds like what kids would do when making a game on RPG Maker based on FF and stealing all the SFX and music from it. Although this is a step higher considering how these guys want to make some money off the game.

Anyway. It's hard to even rate this game besides the graphics and momentary gameplays since I can't play anymore after a few minutes when the only miner/builder ends up bugged one way or another. It looks promising enough though. I just wish they'd work on the god damn game-ending bugs more than on new mobs. Right now the only way to interact with any of 'em is to tell your sword-dorf to kill something. That something, be it a pig, chicken or a zombie chicken, will not even try to attack back.

Thread defining line.  (Ice cold, I know, but too good not to point out)

From what the review says, it looks like a 2D version of Minecraft.

Hmm, isn't there already something like that? Maybe. Probably not though, or they wouldn't be copying it.

It's based on Dwarves surviving...something? Maybe they need food? Apparently there are enemies.




Anyway, I love the line in the review 'still well and truly in Alpha'. I'm not entirely sure if the reviewer knows about Dwarf Fortress' position.

What would worry me is that this honestly just seems like a watered down version of similar games meshed into one. Even if the game does get finished, and it's something enjoyable to play, less complexity means less possibilities.

Well the creators have said that they'll make the game easily moddable.
Or at least I'm pretty sure they did.

I figure once the game will start to look like a finished product there'll be much more stuff to do.

I sense that somebody will be making an ASCII graphics pack to turn it into DF; first thing.

I would, but I won't be buying the game

It's really not anything to be angry at, it's just some guys trying to make their own game happen.   The only reason it's getting any attention is because it bites at the heels of a game people already enjoy quite a bit.

I see nothing wrong with what they are doing. some of us are greatly enjoying terraria despite greatly enjoying minecraft.

Having said that, this specific game is updating so rarely and when it does they are just minor updates that i think it will not see the light of day, or if it will, it will just be a superficial game.
