Amazing game concept for a Mountain Dwarf themed City-Sim, but unfortunately unpolished and abandoned by the devs back in early 2022. I've listed a few pros, cons, and mids below from my personal opinion and experience. If the devs ever do decide to come back to work on the game, I would probably be likely to revise my review and recommend the game but that's frankly doubtful. If it's on sale for like $5 or less, it's worth a try, but almost definitely not at full price in its current state. Pros: I find the exploration via expansion pretty cool especially since it's seed based, so it's either random and new every time, or if you fail, you can try the same one again to see if you do better. The enemies found within the mountain are varied and interesting and can be challenging if unprepared. Very good visuals for a 2D-ish game of this genre in my opinion Challenging start, but once you get the groove it can be hard to be brought down. Automation in mid-late game is very handy and efficient. Despite being abandoned, still sometimes fun to come back to every once in a while and dig deep and greedily. Mids: Building/crafting systems - are pretty basic even if sometimes annoying. Eac…

Game becomes unplayable once getting towards end game. Dwarves stop collecting and making food etc, tasks aren't completed so game just dies. No obvious reasons. Wasyed too much time trying to fix, restarting from beginning etc.

Was the game abandoned? I guess so. Did I complete 100% of the achievements 4 years after the final update? Yes... yes I did. A lot of my success has to do with manipulation of the jobs tab. The game could have certainly used some polish, some of it can be really frustrating, but it's not broken, it's just less than optimal design. Will I ever play the game again? Almost certainly not, but I did have fun getting all the achievements with the game running in my background, and me intervening with my dwarfs as needed.

Clearly abandoned half complete. What's here is a frustrating tease of what could have been, which is more aggravating than fun. I wouldnt recommend buying this for anyone - this current trend, of viral hit or abandoning of EA titles, as a deliberate development plan shouldnt be rewarded

Devs dropped this before it was in a good state. Could have been great.

Don't waste your money. This game does not have a proper tutorial or good enough in game instructions. It is honestly not very fun to play. All flavor text very little mechanical information. I should have listened to all the rest of the reviews but I think I got it for super cheap so at least I didn't waste too much money on it. I would have preferred a McDouble
