Brings what grabs you about Rigonauts: building and crafting, a sandbox with your own goals as well as vast, open spaces.

Besiege is a physics sandbox where you build your own siege machines from beams, wheels and weapons to wreck castles and armies. The appeal lies in inventive tinkering and the often chaotic, funny failure of your contraptions.

Afterlife

Sandbox with your own goals

You build heaven and hell at the same time and keep billions of souls content with the rewards and punishments they deserve. Its mischievous, otherworldly humor turns every management decision into a small comedy.

Dungeon Keeper 2

Building and crafting

You play the villainous dungeon keeper, digging tunnels, building rooms, attracting monsters and fending off invading heroes. Its dark humor and the chance to be the bad guy make it memorable.

Dungeons

Building and crafting

You play a scheming Dungeon Lord who lures heroes into his traps with promises of treasure and battle, then keeps them as prisoners to harvest their soul energy. What makes it special is the darkly comic blend of dungeon building, resource management and wicked humor.

Bloons Monkey City

Bright, upbeat tone

You grow a modest settlement into a bustling metropolis by reclaiming land from bloon hordes. Each captured territory is won in a short tower defense battle and then becomes space for your next buildings.

Thronefall

Building and crafting

A minimalist kingdom builder and defense game: you expand your small realm by day and fight off waves of enemies as a hero by night. Its clean low-poly look and simple rules make it approachable yet tactically tricky.

Orcs Must Die!

Vast, open spaces

Third-person tower defense where you lay traps in fortress corridors and join the fight with crossbow and spells as orc hordes get flung, sliced and burned in slapstick chain reactions. A cocky war mage hero keeps the tone gleefully comedic.
