Before you read; I will update this over time

This game is fun, its interesting and I know if the developer keeps at it, it will be a great game.

It takes Dwarf Fortress and makes it much more user friendly and appealing to the casual audience. Its easy to understand and yet involves allot of the complex mechanics from the original game.

Right now there are allot of issues, saves corrupting, glitchy A.I, outright crashing and game play interruptions. allot of them are excusable because its been out for 2 days. But saves corrupting, A.I breaking and crashes are very interruptive and should not be in a $20 game (Even in early access).

I will be updating this from a NO to a YES when the game functions without crashing and save corrupting, because so far its a good game.

Updates;

28-sep-2017, saves still only work sometimes, so don't invest too much time in this, you will still lose it. Since writing this review I have been involved in allot of forum contact with the devs and they are very interested in feedback and are clearly dedicated to hammer out these issues.

30-oct-2017, everything I have listed is still an issue. Lots of fixes, not of much that breaks the game though, in fact it tends to crash more now. Keep holding onto that money folks, the game is still broken.

18-nov 2018, coming this arvo

01/01/2020, Look Its been a long time, I admit I felt so defeated by how broken and buggy this game was when I purchased it, I just didn't get back to it (like 10 years into its development but its first day on steam).

I put a few hours into it the other day and this is where we are at. It seams to work, by that I mean the world generates and it saves (High bars I know), but overall its a long and difficult process of overcoming clunky controls and sometimes compleatly broken AI. Overall It's staying in my "do not recommend pile" because despite the idea being a great and super fun sounding one, in practice its just boring, I spent the whole time battling with the game to get anything done (not to mention the amount of hidden mechanics and sometimes broken menus). Save your money and buy something that works smoothly after 2 years on steam (or like 12 since they started).
