Perhaps most importantly, Gnomoria is “Dwarf Fortress BUT playable”. The developer is active and still providing content updates, and there is a notable player community. The game is cheap, replayable, challenging, with a long but approachable learning curve. Having said all that, Gnomoria’s good parts massively outweigh its bad parts. When you have a big kingdom running, it can become laggy and difficult to play. Importantly, the game tends to chug a bit – maybe because there’s a lot of complicated decision trees to run through under the hood. Bugs like these tend to be fixed given time, but beware of their existence. There are other limitations to the game – some notable game-breaking bugs with the way your goods are stored and traded can ruin your kingdom. Where Dwarf Fortress is notoriously bad, Gnomoria is better than average. If you’re coming to this from Dwarf Fortress you won’t find as deep an experience, but you will gain accessibility. In many ways, this is the major limitation of the genre.

Your Gnomes are clever, but they only work within the rules which you set – learning how to manipulate those rules will take time.
If you’ve never played an ant-farm game before, know what you’re buying games like this can be unforgiving and they require some practice. The replayability comes from meeting the challenges of procedurally generated terrain (especially mining) and incrementally improving your strategies for maintaining your empire. Craft items, build structures, set traps and dig deep underground in search of precious resources to. The ant-farm style gameplay is engaging at its very core, and the constant drive for resources and security will keep you playing for a long, long time. Gnomoria is a sandbox village management game where you help lead a small group of gnomes, who have set out on their own, to thrive into a bustling kingdom Anything you see can be broken down and rebuilt elsewhere. What’s amazing is that’s all it really needs. This game takes the fundamental fantasy of the genre (oversee a group of beings and help them survive by defining the rules for their community) and gives it a facelift with pretty pixel art, and a point-and-click GUI.
Gnomoria is perhaps the best example of a “Dwarf Fortress BUT” game I’ve encountered.
