Does Dwarf Fortress count?
I would say yes! Which version are you playing?
The pretty Steam one!
Cool! I might give it a look, the old version always seemed a bit intimidating
DF, no matter how you start, has a learning curve. Having a tile set can help with the visual side, but be prepared to go through a couple fortresses figuring things out. And then a few more after goblin invasions, Dwarves going mad, Forgotten Beasts, and at least one case of flooding your upper floors with water and your lower with lava.
And that's before you even touch the F.U.N that waits down below...
Give it a shot! Great time!
Definitely. You can still turn on an ASCII tile set if you want to give it a try in the Steam release. I did, but it was indecipherable to me!
Game is fun. I'm not good by any means. But I finally broke the cycle of early restarts by running it alongside a utility called DFHack. (Contrary to the name, it's not a hack! I think the devs even encourage its use).
