A moderately fun game, the gameplay is very difficult because the stealth is almost impossilbe to judge and as soon as the bullets start to fly, things get tricky! However, in multiplayer, when you can concentrate on one or two people, you can really get to enjoy the game. My massive gripe with this game is that it hides the save games in a weird hidden folder in your app-data folder somewhere. This is utterly absurd when you have a perfectly you 'My Games' folder in your user documents, made for save games. This means that my brothers and I have lost our saves in our computer migrations, windows crashes etc, unaware that the saves were there. I transfer all my documents to a separate drive as standard and it is really annoying that this game cannot keep with a normal method of save game storage. Tempted to give it no stars but it can be fun as a multiplayer.
I would not advise buying this game. It is clearly designed with touch screens in mind and feels clunky when used with a mouse and keyboard. The AI is terrible, selecting dwarves who are totally unsuited to the task that is asked of them and using dwarves from the wrong side of the map rather than the ones right next to the point you need them. the monster attacks are just plain boring and annoying, interrupting the flow of digging and building without giving anything back. Talking of building, the only way to build is to hand direct one dwarf to do the major work and then get the rest of the tribe to fill in the blanks since if you tell them to build and let them get on with it they totally screw it up and are unable to finish the simplest of tasks. The multi-player is not what I expected. I had hoped to build a world with my brother, as we did on Terraria many times over, and instead I find I have to play it on my own and we can occasionally join up in special 'biomes'. To get to that point you need to craft a special portal and use a spell on it. Why the developers decided on this totally awful system rather than a normal server screen or other method of linking up I will never know! All that aside, if you are looking for a casual game then this might be for you. If you are looking for a good game you can play with friends, this is not it!
