Summary

  • Dwarf Fortress’s new Adventure Mode, giving players the opportunity to play a single character in a roguelite campaign in the Dwarf Fortress world, is now out as a free update on Steam.
  • It allows players to visit civilisations and ruins, earn a reputation and recruit followers, and explores mythology and magic.
  • Co-creators Tarn and Zach Adams said that in the game’s earliest conception, the player was meant to lose to give a sense of the “procedurally generated world and high level of simulation”, and that the entire world is now more connected and immersive through adventure mode.
  • The extensive combat system can now be used by players, who can also travel the world reciting poetry to wombat men, according to the Adams.
