Dwarf Fortress is unlike any of the other games from this list. Part construction and management, part roguelike, and to top it all off, text-based, Dwarf Fortress is unique.
A typical Dwarf Fortress game involves a randomly generated world in which you indirectly control a group of dwarves in a attempt to build an underground fortress. Needless to say, without much direction (the game has no objectives) and text-based graphics, this game is hard. But that’s also Dwarf Fortress’ charm. Once you figure out how everything works, building that fortress becomes an addiction.
Also, part of Dwarf Fortress fame comes from the fact it is a two-member project that survives solely on donations.
A Good Match for: Folks who appreciate a good challenge (the game is famous for its difficulty and complexity), but also everyone wanting to support the indie movement, especially when the outcome is as solid as Dwarf Fortress.
