Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup Love this traditional roguelike!
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.
CataclysmDDA is an amazing open source roguelike. Has a bunch of tilesets if you don’t like ASCII
What other game you can play as neckbeard otaku on a quest to become a real catgirl in the world infested with zombies and whatnot? God I love Cata
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.
Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead
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.Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup for me. A classic roguelike with active community and regular updates as well as several forks. It also has a good amount of playable races. From classics like elfs or orcs
and dwarves(RIP Mountain Dwarves you were too good for this game) to funky races like Vine Stalkers (sentient parasitic plants) and Armataurs (centaurs but with armadillo parts instead the horse ones) to cats and octopuses.And the gods you can worship in the game are also very diverse. How about a slime god? Or someone who wants you to wear as much cursed equipment as possible in exchange for knowledge? Or maybe the one who wants everything to move veeery slooow and rewards you for killing mobs that are faster than you?
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.
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.
Mindustry is a really fun automation/tower defense game
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)
OpenTTD is a great open source clone of the transport tycoon game. And boohu is an awesome ASCII coffeebreak roguelike.
