Sorry for misleading. It's pre-order right now. I have XCOM related sleep deprivation.

Live Stream is coming up soon!

[Ultimuh]

Preordered it on steam.

Now, I wait.

[beefy]

So, I was watching yesterdays live stream. A looot of "Is this game anything like Dwarf Fortress" questions came up.
Most of the time the dev who played the game was decorating stuff... I preordered this because of dwarfs but I am not sure how bland this is really going to be.

[ragnar119]

I only want to know, is this game similar to dungeon keeper?

[hemmingjay]

They say it is more closely related to Them Hospital and Dungeon Keeper than Dwarf Fortress. After watching the Stream I am more convinced that it is a management game. A budget title really, thought that's not bad. Just don't expect a AAA DF game.

That's still great praise for any game.

[Ultimuh]

AH yes, good old Theme Hospital.
But let's not fool ourself into thinking it will be exactly like those two.
It's a game of it's own and should be treated like that.

The first feedback from RPS is not encouraging, but this game could still prove entertaining:

However, I suspect that, even for $10, A Game Of Dwarves might disappoint. Clearly I can’t give you any solid verdict, because I’ve only had a bit of time with a preview version, but I can say this: it’s astonishingly ugly by contemporary standards. And yes, perhaps we will overlook that ugliness if the game turns out to be a builder-masterpiece, but nothing I’ve seen of that building/mining aspect really sings. Combine what we’ve seen so far being a bit pedestrian with a void in the presentation department, and right now it’s looking unexceptional. (It’s not simply that the art is ultra-functional, and that there’s (currently, at least) no real shadows or other lighting.)

What I am saying is: I’d wait for the reviews.

Moreover there will be a DLC for ALE!!! WTF!!!

[Leatra]

DLC for ale? What's next? Different beard styles packed in a DLC?

I have a tendency to be suspicous about games that has a lot of DLCs and I'm turned off of this game already.

[Viken]

My biggest problem with A Game of Dwarves is that there's no industry.  You mine, you collect resources.  You buy items from the toolbar that use those resources, end of story.   I want gaint forges and mountains of minted gold bars.  But that isn't how this game is going to go. I'm still going to give it a shot, though.

[Ultimuh]

About the DLC ale thing, did I just see an ALE TREE in the trailer?? 

[Alkhemia]

Well so much for this game for me at least there still maia it look promising to.
