From the Steam store

Mountaincore is a game of designing and building a burgeoning colony in a deeply-simulated fantasy world.

Current Features

Start with 7 dwarves but you can build and support a population of hundreds

A simulated world with changing weather and seasons that have a big impact on gameplay

Every one of your settlers has their own needs and desires to fulfil as they work together for the common good

A deep crafting tree that leaves no natural resource unused, tied together into satisfying production chains

Progress through skill tiers to craft better tools and weapons

Trade with merchants to increase your wealth even further

Form up and train your military to battle monsters and invaders...

...or play in Peaceful Mode to chill out with a relaxing city-builder experience

Twitch integration (using viewer names for settlers) to encourage stream audience interaction

Built "Mod-first" so that everything is moddable

Now released as open source

As the developer for this game has shut down, we've decided to release it as free to play and also open source under a very permissive license. We hope you enjoy!

The game works on Steam Deck, in fact we believe it should qualify for full compatibility, however we are waiting on Valve for an official Steam Deck compatibility review.
