I like how you can choose to return to base and cash in your money.
I think balancing your inventory with healing items and ammo and having a limited carry capacity is great too. Going inside buildings is dangerous but even more lucrative! Even low level players can risk looking in dangerous areas if they have the skill. I love how DF makes you hunt for loot, and teases you sometimes with good loot spots between dangerous enemies. I'm not fond of games where you just hack a billion easy enemies in the same place hoping to get a good drop. Really exciting when you hear a big one is near, and then players come together to take it out! Usually chat is just for group forming or trading, but in DF it was important to me to tune in to reports of bosses in the area. Really fun.Ĭhatrooms where people hang out to hear reports of where bosses are. Even better is how you can merchant by ferrying items from location to location. Having random stats on items is really good design for a trade system. The player trading in DF is just fantastic. Relying on a map feels like you're really exploring too. Navigating around obstacles and enemies, getting distracted by loot, and trying not to die. Traveling from fort to fort was a big event when you do it for the first time. DF can be relaxing at times when looking, but boy do you have to always stay alert! I loved how the difficulty can suddenly ramp up to a crisis. Getting heavily damaged is a serious event, and can lead to big time and money losses. Some of my favorite things about DeadFrontier:
Have any of you found similar games that have some of the following features? I'll always remember DF, and since then I've been looking for games that capture part of its spirit. I had gotten everything I wanted out of DF, and it was time to move on. I hit late game (or what I call the "fashion-show" stage), which was fun but I had no desire to pvp GM's. A couple years ago I hit lvl 50ish with a few characters and accomplished most of the goals I had (some perfect items, kill burning bosses etc). I've been playing long since 2D as a Non-GM and it's been one of the most memorable games.
