It consists of game modes like fortress mode where you establish a successful fortress and ward off any threats and invasions. You also need to generate wealth and take much care of the dwarves. A peculiarity about the game is the way each of the dwarves has a unique identity and personality to each of them.
The other game mode, i.e., adventure mode is turn-based one where you can start off just like an adventurer and freely explore around the world. You can visit the old fortress in the game and can complete quests and heists on your part.
