The deepest, most intricate simulation of a world that's ever been created. The legendary Dwarf Fortress is now on Steam. Build a fortress and try to help your dwarves survive against a deeply generated world.
This simulation plunges players into an unprecedented world where every character, creature, and element interacts with astonishing complexity. Players don't simply manage resources; they orchestrate entire civilizations through intricate, dynamically shifting systems.
Each playthrough spawns a completely unique universe, complete with randomly generated histories tracking civilizations' rises and falls. A beaver demon might rule "The Hell of Principles" for 100 years, hosting wrestling competitions with neighboring settlements, creating storylines more compelling than most scripted narratives.
Players juggle critical systems: maintaining food and beer supplies, constructing elaborate underground cities, training military squads, defending against goblin invasions, managing dwarf psychology and labor assignments.
Catastrophic failures become legendary stories. Players might witness scenarios like a single elderly human maceman defeating multiple monsters, pets defeating cyclopes, or entire populations transforming into werelizards mid-gameplay.
The system tracks microscopic details: blood alcohol content for individual characters, precise combat mechanics tracking individual body parts, dynamic weather front formations, over 200 geological rock and mineral types, and creature personality generation.
Players become storytellers, using complex systems to generate unique narratives. Creativity gets rewarded through unexpected interactions: a vampire mayor trapped in a temple might become a legendary engraver, or a child might craft a legendary wooden scepter while playing make-believe.
Developed by two dedicated brothers over 16+ years, this simulation represents an unprecedented commitment to systemic complexity. The developers aim to simulate "all of existence" and estimate they're only 44% complete.
This experience transcends traditional strategy games, offering an unparalleled narrative engine where player creativity meets systemic complexity. Survival is optional; storytelling is mandatory.
