Mindustry is a really fun automation/tower defense game
Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup Love this traditional roguelike!
Beyond All Reason
https://www.beyondallreason.info/
It a grand scale RTS game with robots and insects loosely inspired by Total Annihilation.
Cataclysm DDA Is THE open world zombie survival experience. So long as you like obtuse roguelikes with nearly no graphics.
Although Im obviously biased what with being a dev and all.
Did you guys tried Endless sky? Awesome game if you love space
And minetest+mineclone2 is pretty good if you want to play minecraft but don’t have a license
Thank you for this! I have already logged hours playing with my kid since seeing your suggestion. We have only played mineclone2 so far. I will look into veloren next.
Nice to hear it! Mineclone is actually very good mod and you definitely should try veloren, good luck
Battle for Wesnoth is a personal favorite of mine that I haven’t seen mentioned elsewhere in the thread. It’s a pixel art, hex-grid turn based strategy game with fantasy armies. It’s mixed with mild RPG elements, and there’s tons and tons of campaigns and fanmade content accessible directly through a mod browser in game.
The other games I enjoy that I see being mentioned here are in the same vein. BAR, Warzone 2100, OpenTTD. And the open mods based on the STALKER engine, like Anomaly. I love those.Mindustry is an awesome strategy game that combines Factorio with tower defense.
Sonic Robo Blast 2 Kart (ridiculous name I know) is one of the most underrated games ever. It’s a super polished, high quality Kart game with an insane amount of mods and maps. The online isn’t that populated but the singleplayer time trial is TONS of fun. If you like hunting for medals, it can be a pretty deep rabbit hole. There’s a sequel in development but no release date.
GzDoom is the most popular Doom source port and there’s a practically infinite amount of user generated content. If you don’t know where to start I highly recommend Doom: The Golden Souls Remastered and Castlevania: Simon’s Destiny. They’re good enough to be premium games.
Mindustry is the bomb
Thanks for the Veloren recommendation, I liked Cube World, it just didn’t work out well.
Classic roguelikes have the most longetivity for me. Crawl, Brogue, Nethack.
ADOM was always my favourite, but Dungeon Crawl: Stone Soup is my go-to these days.
Shattered Pixel Dungeon on android is also fantastic and has wonderful touch screen controls.
Here’s a good start.
Fillets-ng (sokoban puzzler)
Simon Tatham’s Portable Puzzle Collection (sgt-puzzles)
Sauerbraten (FPS)
0 A.D. (RTS)
Holotz Castle (platformer)
Xmoto (motorbike trials riding)
Kobodeluxe (shmup)
Neverputt (minigolf)
Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead
I haven’t seen any incremental games get posted. They aren’t exactly traditional games, but so many of them are open source like Antimatter Dimensions or Synergism. Bitburner is a unique one as an incremental hacking sim, since it relies on actual scripting to grow and automate tasks.
Veloren
Warzone 2100. It reminds me of the older Command & Conquer games with a ton of upgrades and customization for your units.
If you didn’t already suggest it, I would have suggested Veloren!
Yep, what’s promising about Veloren is I feel like everyone had a pretty cohesive idea of what Cube World was “going to be”. It’s pretty hard to disappoint a community when the developers are the community.
