Dwarf Fortress finally got its roguelike Adventure Mode on Steam, so if you'll excuse me, I've got t

Back in December 2022, I wrote in our that its Steam release is "a worthy revision of the legendary settlement sim." And I stand by that. But there was something missing: The beloved Adventure Mode, which let Dwarf Fortress Classic players trade their mountainhome management for wandering the procedural world in traditional roguelike fashion—until some [[link]] kind of ogre or colossus inevitably punched your skull in. Two years later—or almost a year after the mode —the wait is finally over. The fully-fledged Adventure Mode dropped today, and it's waiting for you to grab your heroic destiny by its individual teeth.
That's not a joke. Like the titular Fortress Mode, Adventure Mode possesses the same near-absurd degree of simulation. Once your adventurer leaves their starting hamlet and inevitably enters combat with some sort of goblin or hyena, you don't just have to settle for aimlessly hacking at them with whatever weapon you've got on hand. It might not be the most effective tactic, but thanks to being able to target any individual body part for grappling in the wrestling menu, the option to is always there if you want it.
Even cooler, once you retire that adventurer—or watch in dismay as they meet a grisly end—you could then start up another game of Fortress Mode in that same world. There, bards might compose and recite ballads about their exploits. Engravers might etch murals of their triumphs. Sculptors might carve statues of the precise moment their limbs were torn off by the manifold jaws of a hydra. The possibilities, like the manifold
jaws of a hydra, are near-endless.
