Steam version has ~~all the new updates and features, it is what you'll want to choose. The og available from their website I believe is now depreciated since the stream launch but it is still a glorious piece of software~~ the new graphics set and ui which makes playing a lot more user friendly. You can still get texture packs for the og version but I would still recommend supporting the creators and buying the game.
This is not true; the latest version is still available for free from the Bay12 website, just without graphics so you have to play in ASCII mode.
Oh is that so? My mistake! I will edit my previous post. I thought I remembered that adventure mode and some other features were not coming to that version, but it appears I am mistaken. Thank you for the correction!
Yeah, makes sense! Ill give it a good spin and can't wait to unleash the dwarves on those poor mountains!
Another commenter corrected me that the bay12 version still is full featured but I definitely suggest getting the steam version for the graphics and ui alone. Definitely worth it in my opinion
