How it feels

Managing a settlement above a dungeon feels like an indirect strategy where you support heroes rather than control them.

What players say

Players describe an ambitious colony sim that was abandoned unfinished and outclassed by Dwarf Fortress and Rimworld. Sentiment is divided: many warn against buying a dead product, while hopefuls note the source code release could let the community revive it.
