Rise to Ruins

Building and crafting

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.

Odd Realm

Building and crafting

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.

Craft the World

Building and crafting

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

Economy and management

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.

KeeperRL

A party of several characters

Grim Realms

Economy and management

A side-scrolling pixel art colony sim where you keep a village alive against the undead. Resource management and survival take center stage in a bleak fantasy world.

Noble Fates

A party of several characters

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.

Dwarf Fortress

A party of several characters

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.
