And I guess that proves that Delve Deeper has at least looked at and identified itself with games like Minecraft and Dwarf Fortress. One of the achievements is called 'Minecrafting' and the other is called 'Strike the Earth'.

"Finished" playing the demo (read: i quit) and... Fuck this game sucks.

There is no full screen option. You can't reassign the control scheme. You can't change the resolution. You can't even change the mouse sensativity/speed of scrolling! I had to put my display [to 1280x1024 from 1024x768] just to prevent it from causing a mouse-position bug that caused 1/5th the right side of the screen from becomming unreachable; i had to move the game window to get it to hit the end turn/exit button. Then there was the graphical lag, oh sweet shit the graphical lag. What the fuck happened here? I know i have a very old graphical card (ATI 9600, whoo!) but... Oh god i was getting 8-15 frames per second or something. I don't even get that terrible a framerate on Flash movies/games, or even in Doom 3 with its unique lighting, or HL2 mods that like to throw props 7 deep on every surface like Insurgency does.
And the combat. Oh god, i wanted to try so badly to just make a team of 5 fighters and rape the other 2 Ais in the demo, because i knew it would be an effective strategy just by watching one segment of combat and how horribly 1 unit got raped by 2 others, but the framerate was just too horrible to continue.

I'm not even going to pirate this, it's just a terrible, terrible peice of crap that could've been [made, even by me, and] much more successfully in Game Maker 6 for free.

Poor combat balance and idiotic AI... yeah give this one a pass.

Incidentally the 'full demo' available on 'certain sites' comes with a trojan, so be warned.

Haven't played it, after hearing a few of you guys.

Certainly influenced by DF, at least in thought.

Also, I noted that the dwarves have a striking resemblance to both the Lost Vikings and Three Panel Soul's version of dorfs.
