Craft the World: Build Your Dwarf Fortress in New Update

The humble dwarf is a gripping fantasy trope for good reason. Who wouldn't want to combine manual labor with a stunning grasp of smithing and metalworking, and live in a grand underground hall? This is precisely why games like Craft The World have proven so popular.

This long-running RTS crafting hybrid can best be described as a much more user-friendly version of the granular simulation Dwarf Fortress. With more comfortable graphics and a 2D plane approach, you'll develop your own dwarven stronghold as you direct your humble populace to mine, craft, and defend your holding.

The latest update to Craft The World offers more add-ons and additional content to further enrich the game. Already packed with various regions to explore and build in, a diverse range of dwarves to command, and enemies to contend with, diving into Craft The World is well worth your time.

Hi-ho, hi-oIf you haven't already been swayed by what we've described so far, it's worth looking at some of the other features that Craft The World includes. The ability to wield magic to help your dwarves, for one, and the fact that even so many years after its initial release for PC and mobile, it continues to receive updates.

While some may prefer the more granular simulation of something like Dwarf Fortress, I believe that with its more accessible and fast-paced gameplay, Craft The World very much has a place for players. With the latest update freshly released, it's definitely worth checking out.
