Rise to Ruins

Resources and survival

A tough village builder where you act as a godlike force guiding settlers and defending against nightly monster waves. It blends resource management with 90s-style real-time strategy.

Towns

Pixel art

You build and run a settlement on top of an active dungeon, looking after your citizens and sending them down as heroes. It blends city-building with RPG elements, though development was abandoned and it remains unfinished.

Dwarf Fortress

Deep systems to master

An immensely deep simulation where you build and manage a dwarven fortress or roam a procedurally generated, persistent world as an adventurer. Its interlocking systems produce chaotic, memorable stories, though the learning curve is notoriously steep.

Craft the World

Sandbox with your own goals

A 2D sandbox blend of Terraria and Dungeon Keeper: you direct a band of dwarves, build fortresses, gather resources and craft gear while exploring a randomly generated world and fending off monsters.

Ratopia

Sandbox with your own goals

Ratopia blends colony and city building with survival: as a rat ruler you dig into a subterranean world, manage your citizens and build a working economy. The cute pixel-art look keeps the management approachable and charming.

Noble Fates

Sandbox with your own goals

A 3D fantasy colony sim in the vein of Dwarf Fortress, where you run a settlement of characters with their own opinions and memories. You build, farm, hunt and defend your realm, either from a top-down view or by taking direct third-person control.

KeeperRL

Resources and survival

You play an evil wizard who builds a dungeon, trains minions, sets traps and fends off invading heroes. Its mix of Dwarf Fortress-style real-time base building and roguelike adventure sets it apart.
