Necrosmith 2

A party of several characters

As a necromancer you stitch together custom undead from body parts, explore a generated world by night and fend off enemy hordes by day. The sequel adds flying and swimming creatures to your army.

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.

Gnomes

A party of several characters

You deploy your gnomes, tend your garden and build defenses while the map grows deeper into goblin territory each day. Every run plays differently, and smartly combined upgrades prepare you for the final showdown with the goblin king.

Odd Realm

Resources and survival

A pixel-art colony simulation in a procedurally generated fantasy world where you guide settlers to build, explore and survive threats. Reminiscent of Dwarf Fortress but more approachable, with a quirky sense of humor.

Dungeons of Dredmor

Resources and survival

A humorous turn-based roguelike with randomly generated dungeons, where you mix skills from a huge skill tree to craft your own builds. Quirky monsters, items and references keep it funny, while hunger, traps and permadeath keep it challenging.

Super Fantasy Kingdom

Building and crafting

A roguelite city builder in a fantasy world where you rebuild your kingdom, gather resources and defend it with an ever-changing roster of defenders against hordes of enemies before it all goes up in flames.

Gnomoria

Resources and survival

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.

Niche: A Genetics Survival Game

Resources and survival

You breed your own animal species on a hex-based map, steering its evolution through genetics, mutations and inheritance while predators, disease and climate change threaten the population. Turn-based strategy with a roguelike structure and an educational core.
