This right here. honestly is the closest to DF adventure mode to me. But has no mystical creatures.

I'm going to chime in for UnReal world as well. Combat is brutal and death from wild animal is likely. That is if you don't starve to death first or die from falling through the ice into a lake in winter.

It's as more a survival sim then a pure rogue, so go into it with the expectation of making a log cabin homestead, doing a bit of fishing or trapping. Or maybe play nomadic and follow the reindeer herds.

Also, like dwarf fortress, the devs have been working on it for years and years. I highly recommend it.

Ultima Ratio Regum is not a game, it is not winnable, it does not have an objective, it is just a piece of software, a cool one ! but not a game, i don't know why Mark says it is a game, , maybe in the future it will be, but not right now. And also it does not have combat, and i think combat is not planned to be implemented.

I didn't play it, but I've heard that it's more of a history simulator than a game. Treat it as a more advanced version of DF Legends mode.

It is a game, in that you can apparently go to places and talk to people and ask them questions about them and their society. But that's basically all you can do, the whole point of it is the world gen.

This is exactly what I tried to say.

Sorry, remind me how I win at Dwarf Fortress, or what the objective is that I should be working towards? Many players even see it as more a fantasy world simulator and story generator too. URR is a game, just not one that you enjoy, obviously.

Anyway my reply was for the OP and others who may not have come across it before. Many players of DF I am sure would find something interesting in URR. The more who are aware of it, play it, and possibly give feedback/encouragement to the developer, the better.

Lots of great suggestions in this thread. This topic should be pinned until Adventure Mode releases on Steam, lol.

OP, 100% CDDA or URW; the work put into them also rivals DF. (IMHO)
( Cataclysm; Dark Days Ahead // Unreal World )
Elona+ might be up your alley idk if it been said but it open world
