There's a link on the Clonk page. And no, there's no preview button for the fora.
[1] This facsimile operated in part by synAC.I need to add Artificial Stupidity to the page. General rule: Never allow the computer to control your Clonks for more than half a second. It never ends well.

So is this game like Dwarf Fortress, except side view instead of top down and with less "!!Fun!!'?
I'd check it out myself but I don't have the wifis for my computer for a few days.

"Never let the truth get in the way of a good story." TwitterEhm. Sort of. But not really. Maybe. Direct control over your Clonks is the biggest difference. Really, Clonk is hard to describe. The harder settlement missions might feel a bit Dorfy, and a bit Minecrafty too perhaps, but... Bleh. And then there's the melees, which are rather different. But there are also races. And Dragon Rock is something of a dungeon crawl. Trying to say what Clonk is "like" is difficult.

FREE GAME
Now that I have your attention...
So I started a page on Clonk yesterday, and thought this would be a good opportunity to get some tropers' first impressions on the games. Especially for whether or not it qualifies for Surprise Difficulty Also, this is a useful place to say a few things, such as that Clonk isn't very beginner friendly, and that if you download Clonk Rage, you should replace the music folder with this one
, which has about seven more songs in it that were removed to save space.
And finally, as you're playing, please have a think about what genre Clonk belongs to. Platform Game just doesn't really cover it.
(Unrelated, is there preview button for the forums? Because I really feel like I've done something very wrong here, and am going to feel horrifically embarrassed as soon as I read what I post. Oh well.)
(Finally finally (I promise), the free game I mentioned is Clonk Endeavour.
It's got quite a bit (but not all) of what Clonk Rage has, except online multiplayer. Trying to play CE online is like trying to brush your teeth with a grenade. It just doesn't really work. Then your head gets blown up.)
