A Game of Dwarves	Paradox Interactive (Zeal Game Studio)	2012	single player	Con una jugabilidad que recuerda al Dwarf Fortress, esta mezcla entre el Dungeon Keeper y el Minecraft es un gran juego, sencillo en su base pero complicado y muy entretenido. Nota: Cada enano deja una lápida al morir de forma similar a los Worms. 7 de 10**A Dwarven Prince on a quest to reclaim his people’s stolen land will take you on a great journey. Explore a continent filled with buried treasures and unearth mysteries that lie hidden since the Great War. Take charge of your Dwarven settlement while mining, exploring and utilizing your resources with a combination of strategy and management. Order the inhabitants of a Dwarven settlement to dig, build and conduct research in order to strengthen the clan. Be careful though because you must defend your Dwarves from the terrible beasts that lie in the depths. A unique world is generated each time a new level starts, so you will need to dynamically adapt your strategies and tactics during each session. As you advance, the Dwarves will level up and gain new skills; progressing from weak dwarvlings to near immortal warriors or master craftsmen. There are also rare resources to be found deeper in the earth that grant access to better buildings and equipment. However, the deeper you dig the more dangerous foes you might unleash... Features: Explore – The randomly generated maps offer replayability while also providing a sense of exploration * Build – customize your settlement with not only practical constructions, but beautiful ones too! Build objects you think look great, while still gaining progress. Home is where the art is. * Command – With an intuitive order system the player can easily control oodles of dwarves simultaneously without the need for extensive micro management	Windows

ActRaiser	Enix (Quintet)	1990	single player	[100]* [22]* [64]* [37]* [32]* [32]European version [29] [27]Generations ago, the world fell into deep Chaos. The Master had maintained the world in a state of peace and harmony. However, an evil one called Tanzra began to threaten its very existence. People spent their lives manifesting their love to their Master while fearing The Evil One. The Master and The Evil One were eternal enemies. In strength and power they were almost equals. Even though the world has fallen into Chaos, somehow the earth continued on its revolving course.ActRaiser is a single player mix of alternating overhead city-building simulation and side-scrolling platform action. The protagonist in the English version is 'The Master'. A deity who's been away for a while and returns to find his people have been lead astray and their civilization destroyed by the demon Tanzra, "The Evil One". The player is controls things as the Master descends from heaven on a cloud to observer the people and causes a stone statue to be possessed with his spirit. Using this this living statue armed with a sword, demons are slain and souls are freed. The sim mode begins with the creation of a male and female to tend a population center as the Master eliminates more demons and miraculously prepares the way for the people to build and multiply in their little corner of the world. In this view, and angel armed with a bow and arrow is directed against demons emerging from their layers to attack the people. Meanwhile, the people are directed to seal the layers and build where the master directs. At a certain point, the local demons and their leader will regroup to stop the progress. At this point the Master inhabits a statue to finish the job in action mode. This continues for 6 regions until one final standalone action stage completed. The game's story is in fact a Judeo-Christian allegory; confirmed by the Japanese story of ActRaiser 2 where the protagonist and antagonist characters are revealed to be named God and Satan. No religion/faith tag yet applies to this game entry, however, because the religion of the game's creators is currently unknown to the uvl community (stay tuned). Even without the revelation of the true names of these characters, the allegory is pretty blatant. The Master descends and ascends to heaven, is accompanied by angel(s), creates life (beginning with a male and female), frees souls, performs miracles, destroys demons, creates order and peace out of chaos and strife, he cannot lose (though the player can), defeats the evil one, listens to and answers prayers, accepts offerings (which in turn benefit the people), casts false gods out of his temple, and is totally ignored by the people as soon as they perceive their problems have been eliminated and he loves them anyway. Hint: Preforming better in the action mode will actually cause more demos to inhabit the lairs in the sim mode. This in turns leads to a higher population potential for the region. The world map resembles North America The English version was much easier than the original. But, upon beating the game, the Japanese difficulty level for the action mode is unlocked. ActRaiser was provided for Wii's Virtual Console in 2007. [Zerothis]A masterpiece of game design originally released in the early days of the Super Nintendo Entertainment System , ActRaiser's enduring popularity stems from its revolutionary combination of action- and simulation-based game play. The user plays the role of the Master, a dethroned deity whose once-idyllic world has fallen under the control of the Evil One. Stripped of godly power, the Master must somehow put an end to the Evil One's reign and rebuild his desolate realm. Game play alternates between two modes: Action and Simulation. In Action mode, the Master must battle against impossible odds to pacify six lands. Pacifying a land unlocks Simulation mode. In this mode, the Master must oversee the development and re population of the territory he has reclaimed. In doing so, he will gain followers who gradually restore his godly might, empowering him to take back the next land and, ultimately, defeat the Evil One.**Shame on you if you've never played Actraiser before! This version, other than having an amazingly badass logo, is actually a lot harder than the US release of the game. Even in Fillmore 1, there are more brambles, more monsters, more everything. It's crazy great. Ian Kelley wanted to retranslate the game, so here it is! Far be it from me to deprive one of my star translators from an awesome request or two!

ActRaiser 2	Enix (Quintet)	1993	single player	Gameplay consists of the normal jumping and slashing, with two major additions: Your character now sports a pair of wings on his back, allowing him to glide short distances (funny how game characters with wings can never seem to actually fly), and there's an entirely new magic system. This time around, you have several spells that you can use in battle (as opposed to having to choose only one at the beginning of the level in Actraiser), and they are cast by holding down the action button, which "charges" you. Once charged, pressing one of the direction buttons and letting go of the action button results in a different spell; for instance, holding up and releasing the action button throws three energy balls at the enemy, while holding down creates a force field around you.* [45]* [32]* [27]*The Japanese subtitle reads approximately [i]Silencing Holy War[/i], but that could be reworded to sound better :)	SNES

Black & White	Electronic Arts (Lionhead Studios)	2001	single player	In a perfect world, people wouldn't need gods. But perfect worlds can't exist and sooner or later someone, in trouble, desperate, will pray to the heavens. This is what happens in the beginning of Black & White. Your new tribe bow before you in awe, and from this moment your prayer power starts to grow. As you carry out godly acts, the belief in you rises and more and more people are convinced that worshipping you in the way forward. But you can be good or evil. You may choose to rule the world as you wish. As you grow in power, you acquire a Creature, a wondrous being capable of doing anything you can do. Capable of learning and being trained and capable of making his own decisions. The people of Eden, whether they believe in you or not, can't failed to be impressed by this beast, and more are swayed to your cause through their admiration of the Creature and the god that owns him. But on other lands there are other gods. They have their own Creatures and their own followers. You must vie with them for power. You must use your Miracles, your Creature and your cunning to steal followers from these gods, and to do battle between the Creatures for supremacy. The ultimate goal is the Creed. Elements of these live within each Creature, and he who controls the parts of the Creed can control the whole land of Eden. You may do well. You may sway the minds of the tribes, but can you gather the parts of the Creed? Can you defeat the god of gods, the enemy of enemies? Can you defeat your Nemesis and rule over the whole world? That is a question only you, and only time will answer.*Latest version: 1.3 (as of ?)[b]Minimum:[/b] Windows 95, 98, ME, or 2000 * 350 MHz Pentium II MMX CPU * 64 MB RAM * 8 MB VRAM * 600 MB HD space***2001 offering by design genius Molyneux, Black and White promised, and delivered, incredible advances in terms of in-game graphics, an advanced storyline, and artificial intelligence and playability that shocked the gaming world.

Like its wildly successful predecessor, Black & White, the sequel is all about moral choices. The land, however, has transformed itself. The inhabitants of this breathtaking 3D world have lost their innocence and developed new weapons and technology. As you enter this warring world, will you make tribes coexist peacefully; encouraging villages and towns to grow into sprawling metropolises, or prompt them to inflict their will upon others by, creating and commanding large armies that seek to dominate and conquer? Creatures in the game have grown too. They can learn strategies, master new abilities and skills, lead armies into battle and be your ultimate unit. Black & White 2 includes other new elements, such as improved graphics and miracle effects such as rivers of fire and earthquakes that yield massive destruction. Every choice you make will have an impact. Each action and inactions prompts obvious changes to buildings, flora and fauna, all morphing to reflect your personality. New features: Wage massive wars, sieges and battles or use your skill and power to keep the peace. * Discover and use new Epic Miracles, including the ground-ripping Earthquake and volcanoes, which cause rivers of lava. * Choose and customize the Creature that's right for you from a selection, including old favorites such as the Ape, Cow, and Lion. * Research and create new forms of weaponry, from swords to bows to siege machines. * Build and design unique defensive gates and walls. * Control and marshal huge and varied armies. * Create and control settlements that include housing, farming, and many other buildings like fountains and lush gardens (if you're Good) or spikes and torture pits (if you're Evil). * Weather systems such as rain, snow, mists, and fog. * Journey through 9 lands homing each of the five tribes.

The company, on doing this sequel, had to keep up with the original game's quality and fun. The problem was, without Molyneux. Thankfully, Bullfrog proved that they can still create classic games even without their former mentor. This game takes everything that made it's prequel great, and improves it all. Briefly, you an evil dungeon keeper (natch), that has to command the place in your reign of filth and decay. Also, protect the place from those damn goody-two-shoes who try to destroy your underground evil dungeon. I don't want tp spoil the game with words; you simply have to play it.	Windows

Dwarf Fortress	Bay 12 Games	2006	single player	Dwarf Fortress is a single-player fantasy game. You can control a dwarven outpost or an adventurer in a randomly generated, persistent world. Although Dwarf Fortress is still in a work in progress, many features have already been implemented.

Build towers or conquer the underworld. ---Build floodgates to divert water for farming or to drown your adversaries... and don't forget the magma! ---Surgery, sutures, splints, crutches and more: care for your wounded dwarves instead of leaving them to fend for themselves. ---Retire your fortress, then unretire it after spending time playing other roles in the world. ---Honey, wax, pottery, windmills, waterwheels, soap, plaster, wool, eggs, dyes, cheese, glass, animal training, and much much more... Play an adventurer and explore, quest for glory or seek vengeance. ---Meet adversaries from previous games. ---Recruit people to come with you on your journey. ---Explore without cumbersome plot restrictions -- thriving capitals, villages, catacombs, labyrinths, bandit camps, caves and more! ---Seamlessly wander the world or travel more rapidly on the region map and in underground tunnels. ---Travel by day and search for a place to shelter as night falls. ---Listen to rumors and help out town and civilization leaders. ---Earn a reputation as a hero, friend, soldier, enemy, thug, etc. with the various civilizations in the world. ---Retire and meet your old characters. Bring them along on an adventure with a new character or reactivate them and play directly. ---Z coordinate allows you to move between twisting underground caverns and scale structures, fighting adversaries above and below. Climb, jump and sprint! ---Stealth system with vision arcs which also respects vegetation density and other factors. ---Use signs like shoe impressions and animal tracks to hunt and avoid danger. ---Steal a mummy's treasure or learn the secrets of life and death at a necromancer's tower. ---Visit your retired fortresses and ask your dwarves to join you on adventures. The combat model uses skills, body parts, individual tissues, material properties, aimed attacks, wrestling, one-time opportunities, charging and dodging between squares, bleeding, pain, nausea, various poison effects and much more. Attacks and other movements extend over several instants, allowing you to deliberately catch enemy blows or plan your counter-attack. Hundreds of animals and other monsters, including many that are randomly generated for each world. Multi-tile climbable trees and many, many kinds of plants. Fruit, flowers and falling leaves. A dynamic weather model tracks wind, humidity and air masses to create fronts, clouds, rain storms and blizzards.
