    One of my favorite games of the year. I think once the novelty of the Diggles' antics wears off there is plenty of playtime left.

    One of those games that, at first, is merely fascinating to look at, then becomes addictive.

    Original and adorable in a freakish kind of way.

    Its [slow] pace will kill the game for some, but others not so experienced in the RTS genre will appreciate the accessibility the speed affords.
  5. GameSpy

    The developers deserve kudos for trying something different in an over packed genre, and they nearly succeeded.
  6. GameSpot

    Everything of value here means little because of the sluggish pace.

    Slow. Frustrating. Not the best idea for an escape. [July 2002, p.81]

If you look past its unfinished interface, you'll find yourself constantly looking to get the next technology or building to advance your settlement. If you can muster the patience to endure the long periods of time it takes to get things done and the sometimes cryptic and even unfair challenges it gives you, you'll enjoy watching you dwarves develop and thrive. I say, give it a try.… Expand

    The core gameplay is well enough, but the execution is extremely flawed. Jerky AI, your wiggles refusing to do anything, abandoning their current tasks and refusing to go back (during their work hours and well fed and entertained), etc. etc. The first mission can drag for more than 5 hours due to extremely SLOW gaming pace AND horrendous pathfiding issues. And you can't even play with bonus speed, because x4 (the highest available) also DISABLES all other controls with camera movement! The progression is extremely irratiating and if you didn't read any walkthrough, the initial progression depends solely on pure luck with random digging down your tunnels, hoping you will hit a sweet, sweet story progression jackpot.
    No, it's not a good kind of "slow", that Cultures managed to pull off. It's a sloggish, unsatisfying chore with more issues than actual gameplay working.
    I tried this game a few times since 2002. Every SINGLE time I was burned out at the end of the first mission.
    It is a diamond, but not really worth it. Especially when you have so many better alternatives for this kind of gaming.    … Expand
