I didn't see any threads on this.
I never played Dwarf Fortress, which I gather the game is heavily "inspired" by, but it's an interesting combination of The Sims and MineCraft, I guess.
I played quite a bit this weekend, even reaching endgame, with a stable, sustainable, and easy to defend colony. Bbut my map had NO plasteel so I just used God Mode to build a spaceship, rather than waiting for traders to come by.
Despite being technically in Alpha, it's quite stable (no errors, CTDs, etc.) There also appears to be quite a few mods available.
Graphics are late-90's 2D. Adequate but not spectacular. (Kinda like Xenonauts.)
Probably worth the $30 (Steam). Especially since it's one more game that I can play on Linux.
