Exactly what it says on the tin: it takes the best bits of Left 4 Dead and Minecraft spelunking, slathered in a thick sauce of its own unique charm and sass.

My only complaint so far is how long it takes to get a promotion, and until then a ton of content is locked away. After 30 hours I still have a long way to go unless I focus on just one dwarf class.

*December 2024 update:* this is still one of my favorite games ever, and I still play it frequently. The procedural generation is excellent and leads to a great variety of challenges. Most of all, somehow GSG has figured out how to create and maintain an almost perfectly nontoxic online community. I have *never* played another game where I can so consistently drop into a squad of random strangers and have a great time. It's astonishing.
