Nearly a decade ago I played it a bit over a couple of months. I'd guess 30 hours or so (which is a lot for me, I'm a gaming dabbler, aside from the civ and fromsoft games). It was pretty playable IMO, and would really pull you in, just tedious to navigate the menus.

I eventually got kind of tired of investing so much effort into a fortress that would just randomly fall apart. People say that's part of the fun but I dunno... I found that aspect a bit annoying. It also ran really poorly for me in late game and that kind of put me off too.

Great concept, the ascii is less of a problem than you'd think, but overall just a bit too much effort to keep wanting to come back for more.
