    It's a really original and fun game to play... Until the monsters come. The monsters can be extremely frustrating. I've been trying to succeed with this game a couple of times now and the monsters always seem to end my civilization. They just arrive way too early in the game (even on easy mode) and players new to the game find it hard to fend them off.

    If the monsters were a little less

    If the monsters were a little less hard at the start, this would be a brilliant game. That's why I'm only giving it a 5.

    First off I have played more than 20 hours so I know what I'm talking about. This game is addictive and wonderfully constructed but the real problem is with the combat. The enemies are sooo hard that it makes the game completely un fun. The only strategy you can ever survive with is to wall yourself in which is totally boring and no matter how well prepared you are, you will eventuallyFirst off I have played more than 20 hours so I know what I'm talking about. This game is addictive and wonderfully constructed but the real problem is with the combat. The enemies are sooo hard that it makes the game completely un fun. The only strategy you can ever survive with is to wall yourself in which is totally boring and no matter how well prepared you are, you will eventually need resources. I also dislike the fact that your armor can break.. I spent all this time crafting this great silver armor for it to break by getting hit with a copper axe? BS i say. Lastly I have to say that sometimes your gnomes can be absolutely retarded. They consistently get caught in corners and stockpiles can be annoying when your gnomes would rather go down 30 flights of stairs in your mine to get one stone than to go 15 blocks away to get the stone from your stockpile. This really is a fun game but the fact is that it is the enemies are so frustrating that its just not worth playing. 5/10 Expand

    Less complex than Dwarf Fortress but visually more appealing Gnomoria places itself somewhere between the Settlers, the Anno franchise and Minecraft. Not a bad place to be.

    Unless you have a deathly allergy to ASCII interfaces, modding, and money, it is very difficult to recommend Gnomoria, even though it is perfectly functional and enjoyable in the short-term.
