Steam Loves Dwarf Fortress So Much It's Confusing The Locals - Kotaku

Dwarf Fortress’s enormous graphical overhaul, and accompanying Steam release, has seen the 16-year-old game receive triumphant reviews.

Currently sporting 4,634 “Overwhelmingly Positive” reviews on Steam, people are delighted.

Posting to the roguelike game’s discussions on Steam, they asked, “have all those ppl been...waiting for an opportunity to pay $30?” To which over 1,000 people have replied, “Yes.”.

Under the title of “watch the review count,” one EternalNooblet decided something was suspiciously amiss about this sudden popularity of this freshly released Steam game?

Continuing on from their title, they said, “and tell me how sane ppl can post a gushing positive 10/10 game of the century review on day 1.” Noticing that the number of reviews was going up incredibly fast, they added, “20 mins ago the count was 1700, now it’s 1900.” And then the post author asked the question for the ages:.

“Yes,” replied Steam account Frank McFuzz.

Since I started writing this post, that number of positive reviews has reached 4,727.

Are people really loving this game so much?
