Review of Dwarf Fortress

This game is a combo of simcity, sims and dungeon keeper. Simulation with objectives and detail. Practically no mouse! Complicated game but lots of tutorials including wikis and videos on utube. Graphics are available including much prettier tiles, an isometric viewer stonesence and even a full 3d viewer. However the interface is a huge pain to use. That is what is stopping me from playing the game right now.

For all its epic rpg simulation detail the interface kills it.
