Should I buy Dwarf Fortress? - eviltoast

I’m finally getting a little bored of my main game, Deep Rock Galactic. I’ve never touched DF, but it looks intriguing. I’m pretty average at sims. Will I be able to pick up and put down this game as needed? Also, how mouse heavy is it? I like to be able to do keyboard shortcuts whenever possible.

    You can, but realize it is a system focused game and in my opinion has a high learning curve. I would also recommend the Steam version rather than the free version due to the texture pack. I would also recommend playing along with a new players guide like Nookrium’s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fGd_nAcmpnQ.

    But the game is fully pausible and you can put it down and pick it up as needed.

      Ok, I downloaded the steam version…wow, there is so much detail. I’ll at least give it a go for an hour or two to see if I like it.
