Classic Dwarf Fortress uses ASCII-art, but this new version has graphics, and is set for a paid release on Steam in collaboration with publisher Kitfox Games. Here's the official blurb:

"The deepest, most intricate simulation of a world that's ever been created. The legendary Dwarf Fortress is now on Steam. Build a fortress and try to help your dwarves survive, OR adventure as a single hero against a deeply generated world. As seen on the 2020 Guerrilla Collective Showcase."
