RimWorld

Sandbox with your own goals

A colony sim where an AI storyteller turns raids, famines and your settlers' personal dramas into unique, often darkly funny emergent stories. Its deep simulation and per-colonist management make every run unpredictable.

Surviving Mars

A city builder where you found a Mars colony and keep it alive with domes, drones and careful resource management. The appeal lies in planning supply chains and surviving hostile conditions.

Oxygen Not Included

Sandbox with your own goals

A deep colony sim inside an asteroid where you keep your Duplicants alive by managing oxygen, heat, food and waste through interlocking physics-like systems. Spectacular failures are part of the fun, often with dark humor.

Planetbase

Resources and survival

A sci-fi colony builder where you balance oxygen, food and power to keep settlers alive on hostile planets. Meteors, storms and tight resources turn every expansion into careful planning.

Stardeus

Building and crafting

As an immortal AI you rebuild a wrecked spaceship in a colony-sim style, automating production and deciding how to treat the human survivors. It blends base building, resource management and exploration in space.

Noble Fates

Building and crafting

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.

The Alters

A party of several characters

Stranded worker Jan clones alternate versions of himself, each shaped by a different life choice, and must manage them in a mobile base while racing a lethal sunrise. It's survival management fused with a thoughtful drama about identity and roads not taken.
