After reading so much about the game, I’ve installed Dwarf Fortress. The Rogue-like-meets-SimCity concept is intriguing but the most striking thing about the game to me is that the creators promise losing is fun. I suppose it would have to be since there doesn’t appear to be any possibility of winning the game. This is a game which is all about how you lose.

I’ve only played for a few hours but I’m fully confident I’m well on the way to losing my first game. Exhibit A:

I’m not sure I can reconcile “losing is fun” with the guilt I’m having for putting ol’ Oddom there through all this.
