Caves of Qud

Post-apocalyptic setting

An extremely deep science-fantasy roguelike where you explore a vast, part handcrafted, part procedural world turn by turn. Dozens of mutations and interlocking simulation systems enable unusual builds and emergent stories where you can do almost anything.

FTL: Faster Than Light

Choices with consequences

You captain a starship on the run, rerouting power, directing crew and making tough calls in pausable real-time battles. Every run is procedurally generated, brutally tense and often ends in glorious failure.

Lobotomy Corporation

Lore and world history

You run a secret company that studies dangerous anomalies, balancing employees, energy and containment. Every mistake triggers a chain of disasters, while a deep and unsettling story unfolds behind the grim corporate routine.

Phoenix Point

Post-apocalyptic setting

A turn-based tactics game in the XCOM tradition where you lead a resistance organization against mutating alien horrors. It stands out for its free-aim shooting with targetable body parts, faction diplomacy on the world map, and enemies that evolve in response to your tactics.

Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus

Lore and world history

Turn-based tactics in the Warhammer 40,000 universe: as a Magos you lead Adeptus Mechanicus tech-priests across a Necron tomb world. A dark, atmospheric game with resource management, squad upgrades and tight, punchy battles.

Into the Breach

Tactical depth

Compact turn-based tactics where three mechs defend cities from giant kaiju-like aliens. Every enemy attack is telegraphed in advance, so each turn plays like a tightly designed chess puzzle with roguelike runs and time-travel resets.

Convoy

Post-apocalyptic setting

A tactical roguelike in the spirit of FTL and Mad Max: lead a convoy of combat vehicles across a wasteland, face random radio-signal encounters, and scavenge parts to repair your crashed ship.

Dungeon of the Endless

Pixel art

A tense blend of roguelike and tower defense where you guide a small squad of stranded survivors through procedurally generated floors. You split scarce power between rooms and build defenses before hauling the crystal to the exit, so every door you open is a gamble.
