Icarus Starship Command Simulator

Sci-fi setting

An indie starship command sim where you push through a randomly generated galaxy toward its center to try to stop an impending supernova. I know the game only partly, so this rating is cautious.

Wall World

Sci-fi setting

You climb an endless wall on a giant robot spider, mining resources below and defending against monster waves above. Permanent upgrades between runs create an addictive roguelike loop.

FTL: Faster Than Light

A party of several characters

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.

Deadnaut

A party of several characters

A tactical squad game set on derelict spaceships haunted by ghostly enemies, where you guide a small team with pausable real-time orders. Missions are tense, lethal and reward careful planning.

Hunters of the Dead

A party of several characters

A roguelike tower defense game with survival elements: you defend your base against Dracula's undead army, rescue fellow Hunters and scavenge nearby buildings, with danger growing the farther you stray.

Skyshine's Bedlam

A party of several characters

A turn-based tactics game set in a post-apocalyptic wasteland, where you lead a squad of survivors and machines, manage resources and fight tough battles. Its appeal lies in harsh decisions and tactical combat.

Deadnaut: Signal Lost

A party of several characters

A tactical sci-fi horror roguelike where you lead a small squad through derelict ships and abandoned moons. Every move counts as creatures, insanity storms and hostile AI threaten your team.
