You’ll finally be able to play Dwarf Fortress on Steam, with upgraded graphics and more after 17 years of being text-based.
If you’re familiar at all with the city-builder/roguelike/civilization game/indie game Dwarf Fortress, you might have a cause to get excited today. Tarn and Zach Adams, the game’s original developers, announced today that we’ll be able to play Dwarf Fortress on Steam sometime in the near future after years of text-based gameplay.
Dwarf Fortress, as stated above, was originally a text-based game where you took control of a fortress…of dwarves. Building up a civilization and guiding it through a variety of various crises, part of the fun of the game was seeing how screwed up you could make your fortress, or how horribly you could fail.
