15 Best Base Building Games You Need To Play

Dwarf Fortress

The original base-building, rogue-like management, chaos simulator, Dwarf Fortress boasts a highly antiquated visual style to match its copious death…sorry, I mean depth. Fortress Mode generates the basic world and it’s up to the player to decide where they’ll build their fort. It’s then a matter of colonizing the fort, keeping it protected from attacks, managing the dwarves’ different mental facilities and attributes, assigning tasks, and ensuring workshops, furniture, and so on are being produced. Oh and the world keeps evolving so don’t be surprised if war reaches your doorstep sooner than later.
