Dwarf Fortress despite the apparent simplicity, reminiscent of Tibia with even poorer graphics, or Minecraft, it's in fact an incredibly, viscously complex and extremely difficult game. There are three modes to choose from (and the last one is more of a calendar than a game). In the beginning, the engine generates an entire world – including continents, states, populations of intelligent species and animals, crafts, arts, and the chronology of the reign of individual rulers.

The first mode allows you to direct the fate of a dwarven settlement. Theoretically, it can be done endlessly, but usually the adventure ends quickly – the population likes to rebel, raw materials are mostly scarce, and all kinds of dangers lurk behind the walls of our territory – from wild animals to undead dwarves claiming the land they once departed. In the second mode, we play as a single character (for example, a human or an elf), whose task is to get to know and explore the world. At the same time, we can form alliances and provide abundance to entire settlements, but also kill everything that moves (and more).

In the first mode, we can also get rid of delinquents who, for example, question the social order that we maintain. Dwarf Fortress gives the player enormous freedom, at the same time not forsaking mechanics, which in the case of mindless chaff can thwart our charts. If the Lannisters from Game of Thrones were passionate about virtual entertainment, they would surely practice their dirty political ploys in this game.
