dorf fort ain't even deep, unless you're talking about the depth at which you can mine. it's wide and shallow. and lots of tedium. the obtuse controls make you think it's deep but it isn't.

Good fucking lord, that game is a pain in the ass. How does one even manage shit like the "paint a red cross on a white background on a 7 wide by 3 tall grid of cubes with the red sprayer only 3 tiles above the lowest floor level, so you can't just lift the blocks up when done"

The basics of Dorf Fort really aren't too hard to learn so long as you use a tile set and Dwarf Therapist.

I like the Lasers, personally. They are neat for trimming excess trash in one fell swoop without having to go through loops with the grinders.
Looking at you, Whale level. And Tree level.

La Mulana intimidates me with all its awesome content and puzzles so much that I can barely begin it before giving up.
It just seems like I won't have the time to play it and absorb everything.

Oh yeah, and you don't have to have Lasers right next to what you want trimmed, so you can do shit in packs as well.

personally i dont think i can enjoy grinding on rl's unless its elona+

elona even has ways to handicap yourself if youre that masochistic about the grind

I have the opposite problem, sorta':

I love me some turn-based or pause-based games, but I can never seem to git gud at all those "action" games.
>>
>>337205694
Pretty much me. I want to like strategy games because they seem fun but I can't be bothered to sit and learn.

The secret is action games are still 99% autism. You'll be better than most people in fgs if you just sit and play it for 1000 hours.

Go for it.

The worse feel is understanding how everything works but not being able to develop the muscle memory/execution to be good.
