Dwarf Fortress

Necesse

Loot and gear

A 2D sandbox survival game in an endless procedurally generated world where you build a settlement alone or with friends, delve into dungeons, fight bosses and craft gear. Its appeal lies in blending base building and settler management with action-driven gear progression.

Economy and management

A Dwarf Fortress-style colony management sandbox where you lead a small band of gnomes, dig deep, craft goods and defend your settlement as it grows into a kingdom.

Forager
