They’re collaborating on an all-new, from-scratch tileset, as seen in the trailer and screenshots. You may already be familiar with the tile set mod packs from Michał “Mayday” Madej and Patrick Martin “Meph” Schroeder.

A few bells and whistles won’t change that. It’s still good old Dwarf Fortress, but with graphics support and music by default. Nothing substantial is new or changed, under the hood.

Your purchase includes Dwarf Fortress Classic if you prefer to play without graphics or music or Steam-specific features, in the “classic” beta branch. Over two hundred rock and mineral types can appear, in their proper geological environments. A dynamic weather model tracks wind, humidity, and air masses to create fronts, clouds, storms, and blizzards. Hundreds of animals and monsters, many of which are randomly created for each world, as well as generated poetry, musical forms, instruments, and dances for your dwarves to practice and perform. It’s difficult to convey the depth of the generation. The combat model includes skills, body parts, material properties, aimed attacks, wrestling, pain, nausea, various poison effects, and much more. Observe what makes your civilization fall into eventual decline, and learn for next time… until something else inevitably goes wrong. In this complex construction/management/roguelike simulation, every generated world brings a unique challenge, whether it’s dwarves with their own simulated personalities or aquifers. The legendary Dwarf Fortress is now on Steam! Build a fortress and try to help your dwarves survive, despite threats of starvation, dragons, and madness.

Optional LEGENDS MODE: read the history of the generated world and your games in it.

Optional ADVENTURER MODE: explore the generated world as a single hero in an RPG.

Generate your unique world and manage a bustling colony of dwarves, even as they probably mine towards their eventual demise.

A lifetime “living” project - created/updated since 2003, with no end in sight.

Steam Workshop integration for easier modding.

Now with graphics! (Optional ASCII mode available.).

Generated rise and fall of civilizations, personalities, creatures, cultures, etc.

Not just generated geometry - a whole simulated world.

Prepare for the deepest, most intricate simulation of a world that has ever been created.
