Dwarf Fortress

Наиграл более тысячи часов на старых версиях и теперь наиграю тысячи в Steam. Как старожила игры я очень опасался нынешних версий - и если вы один из таких, то бояться нечего. Я вас уверяю. С управления клавиатурой переходить трудно, но этот труд длится не так уж и долго. Управление мышкой не менее эффективно, чем управление клавой. Версия в Steam к моменту написания обзора буквально ВО ВСЁМ превосходит последнюю классическую - тут и оптимизация, и исправление глюков, баланса, новые механики и, в конце концов, графика. Каждому старичку-дварфоводу знакомы проблемы с кадрами в секунду на средне-поздних этапах крепости, вплоть до полного заброса мира у отчаянных. Так вот сейчас игра в этом плане приятно удивляет - ранее население в двести голов(не считая животных и пленников) уже превращало игру в лучшем случае в консось-moment(блаженные тридцать кадров), а сейчас всё бодренько(вплоть до шестидесяти кадров). Приятно удивила и заметно возросшая сложность. В нашем сообществе существует древний мем про "гоблинит" - так вот сейчас осады при наличии головы на плечах легко отпинать не получится. И это восхитительно. Осаждающие имеют командиров, приносят тараны, кирки, блоки, животных-танков. Закрылся простыми каменными стенами и поднял мост? Молодец, а теперь наблюдай, как твои стены разрушают драконы. Заменил простые стены усиленными? Молодец, а теперь наблюдай, как вражеские строители будут делать лестницы у твоих стен. Построил много новых этажей или сделал неприступную крышу? Молодец, а теперь смотри, как вражеские шахтёры подкапываются к твоей драгоценной таверне. Поменялась и экономика. Ценность в караванах определяется объективными(или не очень) нуждами цивилизации - теперь нажиться на бочках с готовой пищей не выйдет, это уже, МЯГКО ГОВОРЯ, не так выгодно. Тем не менее я нашёл другую лазейку - деревянные болты... Но их ценность всё равно не сравнится с пищей в старых версиях. Плюс их особо не поделаешь в регионах без густых лесов. Добавили и разного рода автоматизацию, да и в целом управлять крепостью стало во всём удобнее. Без исключений. Но у игры есть и объективные минусы: В силу своей громоздкости по прежнему не рекомендуется играть без DwarfHack. Братья попытались сделать всё удобнее и поубивать "жуков", но полностью этого, конечно, не получилось. Так что данная утилита по моему мнению буквально обязательна - можно решать проблемы в реальном времени, уменьшать количество тупняков и прочее-прочее. Утилита доступна в Steam и по прежнему полностью бесплатна. Аналогично изучение населения и потребностей без Терапевта остаётся задачей довольно угрюмой, но, обязан сказать, гораздо более простой в сравнении со старыми версиями. Вот что из субъективных минусов - модостроение заметно обеднело. Многие известные модификации с переходом в Steam загнулись, а о каком-нибудь Masterwork можно и не мечтать. Но! Я могу дать персональную рекомендацию - Masterfork. Это мод на манер Masterwork, пусть и заметно более бедный. Тем не менее vibe там схожий, и это радует. Strike the earth!

I want to to preface this review by saying I have been a long time player of dwarf fortress and truly love this game with every fiber of my being. I want this game to succeed and my negative review is a reflection of that. Mindlessly glazing every aspect of the game is not going to make it better. Dwarf fortress, as a product, is incredibly flawed. The new player experience is terrible. The various UI menus are incredibly difficult to navigate, and nothing is located where you would expect it to be. This is something you learn to deal with over time, but that doesn't justify it being the way it is. This is a game you will only be successful in if you have the wiki open and constantly use the forums/reddit to learn it's mechanics, which I see as a massive flaw. A lot of the time it feels like I have to trick my dwarves into being productive or fulfilling their needs, because they rarely do it themselves. One example of this is how some dwarves will have an unmet need to be with family, when their family lives right down the hall. I have put countless hours into the pre steam version and will continue to play it on steam for the foreseeable future, but until these flaws are addressed I will have a hard time recommending it to my friends. It's a fun time, but it's not easy to get into for reasons other than it being challenging. On a more positive note, many of the game's bigger issues have been successfully addressed and new content has been amazing. FPS death is all but a thing of the past, and the siege update is incredible. We are now being dripfed the magic system and that's going to be amazing when it releases too. Do I love the game? Yes. Will I continue to love the game? Also yes. Can I recommend it to new players? Not really, no. Don't let my negative review discourage you from purchasing the game. If you are on the fence, play the free version from the Bay12Games website and apply a tileset so you can see what's happening. If you like it, you'll like this version.

I absolutely reconmend 'Gaming's greatest autism project: Dwarf fortress' to any nerd out there like me who is posessed by a fey mood.

真的好玩但没有中文真的痛苦，我和我的朋友推荐这款游戏他们一听没有中文就不想玩，如果这游戏有中文，那在中国的市场将非常大。

Les tartines d’anglais rendent le jeu tout simplement imbuvable. À moins de posséder un très bon niveau dans la langue de shakespeare, il y aura toujours un mot ou une expression obscure pour rendre votre compréhension nébuleuse. Si RimWorld a été traduit en Français, Dwarf Fortress le peut aussi. Petit review bombing, j’en conviens, mais à l’heure de l’IA et de la traduction automatique, il est GRAND TEMPS que les devs implémentent une traduction native. Je rappelle qu’à l’origine, le jeu était disponible gratuitement. La version payante de Steam était censée le mettre à la portée du grand public. Or, sans traduction, le pari ne sera jamais réussi. On notera également l’absence d’animation qui rend les déplacements des nains saccadés et particulièrement illisibles à l’écran. Peut-être le plus grand problème du jeu après son choix regrettable d’être monolingue.

If I had to choose only one game to play for the rest of my life, I'd probably choose Dwarf Fortress.

I once granted my fortress' sheriff a pet gorilla to assist him in keeping the peace. The two developed a close bond, with the sheriff training him in the art of war, bringing him on sallies out against goblin sieges and slaying many of the detested foe. It was in one of these battles that the gorilla acquired its favorite item, a kangaroo leather sack, which from then on it always had in its possession. Sadly, the rigors of policing the fortress proved too much for my poor sheriff, who descended into madness. He was forcibly caged to prevent him from beating his fellow citizens to death (presumably over the stress they had caused him). With little other choice, I decided I had to put him out to pasture - quite literally, as in the game you can release caged animals into designated pasture areas, where they will then stay. As it turns out, caged dwarfs will do the same! Thus, it seemed for a while that my mad sheriff would be content roaming his green demesne while his gorilla partner maintained the fortress peace. Alas, it was not to be. An axolotl person invasion swelled from the depths of the caverns, swamping the defenders and spilling out into every level of the fortress. The fighting raged, and amidst the tumult the axolotl people invaded the pasture. To their shock, they found that the mad, decrepit dwarf penned with the farm animals, seemingly abandoned by its former kin, was in fact one of the most proficient fighters in the fortress. Having invaded his home, they now fell before his fury, and ere long dozens of axolotl person corpses littered the floor. With this, the tide of the battle shifted, and soon the invasion was repulsed. However, the mad sheriff's blood had been stirred, and now it could not be easily calmed. He once again fell upon his fellow dwarfs, punching, kicking, biting, tearing through their steel armor and tossing aside their steel short swords. One by one they stood before him, and one by one they fell. It seemed that the fortress' death was nigh, that the savior of the fortress might become its doom, that his madness might claim them all. But then, their true savior appeared. One who had been trained from a young age in the art of war. One who had once know this sheriff all too well. One who had once called this mad dwarf friend. Yes, the sheriff's pet war gorilla came upon the mad sheriff beating a fellow dwarf to death and realized that there could be only one solution for the sheriff's madness. And, as there was no one else in the fortress skilled enough to defeat the sheriff, that solution would have to come from him. So, with a heavy heart, the gorilla set about putting his old friend to rest. By beating the sheriff to death. With his kangaroo leather sack. Kangaroo leather sacks are not good weapons. It took four agonizing days to kill the sheriff by limp leather sack beating. Also, for some reason, the gorilla would only beat the sheriff while the sheriff was conscious. If the sheriff fell unconscious, the gorilla would leave and return when the sheriff woke to resume the beatings. I love this game.

A dwarven child fought a dog, a hen, the mayor, the farmer, a laborer, another child, and several more adults until she died. 100/10 would punch children again
