1 It's not very good. The GUI is messy but that shouldn't deter DF players. There is also not that much replayability, no matter what kind of clan you play you have to use every tool available and balance offence with defence if you want to get anywhere. You start seeing the same story events again VERY quickly if you play more than once, so you'll already know the outcomes. The story options are easy once you learn them (or look them up on wiki), and you HAVE to do a HEAP of those hero quest dealios, the outcome of which can be improved but is ultimately random. If you fail one, it drastically decreases the chances of succeeding in the next one, and thus you get caught in a negative spiral. 1 It's not very good.

3 The game takes too long and requires you to repeat the same procedures too many times to make it worthwhile playing through until the RNG falls on your side and you can complete a long game with the 7 hero quest requirement while king. 3 The game takes too long and requires you to repeat the same procedures too many times to make it worthwhile playing through until the RNG falls on your side and you can complete a long game with the 7 hero quest requirement while king.

5 As much as it tries, it's not really a generative story engine. Even though it doesn't really HAVE any story, DF does this better: it allows you to really pursue whatever you want, pick from a huge range of options and strategies, and build a world and civilization that is unique each time. 5 As much as it tries, it's not really a generative story engine.

7 KoDP is cute, it does a few clever things such as learning the 'personality' of the gods or situations to make the right decisions ( They are not clearcut right-and-wrong) . It can be fun, but you will tank your tribe with a bad season and never recover on your first playthrough though, and going through those motions over and over is not very exciting. 7 KoDP is cute, it does a few clever things such as learning the 'personality' of the gods or situations to make the right decisions ( They are not clearcut right-and-wrong) .
