Can you recommend any dungeon crawlers or survival games?
simple@lemm.ee 7 months ago
Some dungeon crawlers I enjoyed: Hades, Enter the Gungeon, Torchlight 1 & 2, Crypt of the Necrodancer, Legend of Grimrock, The Binding of Isaac Rebirth
Spaghetti_Hitchens@kbin.social 7 months ago
Shattered Pixel Dungeon is my all-time favorite mobile game. It's a Rogue-like with hundreds/thousands of ways to win; but be prepared to be humbled.
solivine@sopuli.xyz 7 months ago
See I normally like this type of game but struggle to get into this one in particular. I’m also confused about most items in it.
CobblerScholar@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Hades on the Switch might be right up your alley
HocEnimVeni@lemmy.world 7 months ago
For the king (1&2) & Valheim
Jaysyn@kbin.social 7 months ago
Neverwinter Nights has 20+ years of custom content, is still getting graphical & engine updates & has mods & persistent world servers that cover both of those genres & more.
Burninator05@lemmy.world 7 months ago
TIL: NWN is still alive.

How about tower defense?
Kraven_the_Hunter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 months ago
Ape Escape is very quick to pick up and a blast to play. It’s more of the old school side scrolling style, but definitely in the survival theme.
guyrocket@kbin.social 7 months ago
Tower defense and strategy in general.

Cool, thanks. Wishlisted this.
OmenAtom@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Try Factorio, its fantastic
guyrocket@kbin.social 7 months ago
Thanks! On my wishlist already.
Globulart@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Not exactly a minor indie game by any means, but bloons td6 is the game I’ve player the most on mobile by some distance. It’s £6 with no microtransactions and a shit load of content. If you like TD games this is a home run.
Kata1yst@kbin.social 7 months ago
If you want something competitive, Legion TD2
guyrocket@kbin.social 7 months ago
Looks interesting, thanks.

For strategy paradox games are always fun
guyrocket@kbin.social 7 months ago
Do you mean Paradox Interactive? Publishers of Stellaris, Europa Universalis, etc.

First person shooters

I thought Split Gate was shutting down.
Otherwise I'd agree it's great fun.

I have over 1600 hours in Binding of Isaac.
TheDarkKnight@lemmy.world 7 months ago
You seem like the kinda fella that could appreciate Brotato too :-)
systemglitch@lemmy.world 7 months ago
I was going to reply, but most of the games I would recommend are already listed out.
Some gems are missing, but I’d need to be at my PC to figure out which ones.
However, I did not see Unexplored 1 mentioned by anyone off the top of my head.
snugglesthefalse@sh.itjust.works 7 months ago
A few of those games form my core of things I’ll go back to every so often, though those aren’t all Indies. I’d probably throw CDDA, Dwarf Fortress and KSP in there too though, off the top of my head. Surprised to see foxhole in there but I suppose it’s in a relatively decent state at the moment and it’s somehow claimed 1400 hours from me on steam now.
VaultBoyNewVegas@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Disco elysium
caseofthematts@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Yea, I wouldn’t give them any money, though. The actual creatures got fucked and any purchases of the game go to the people that fucked them. Great game, but I’d sail the seas for it.
localhost443@discuss.tchncs.de 7 months ago
Kingdom Come Deliverance is easily in my top 3 favourite games ever, counting as far back as home world 1 (which also ranks in those 3.) If you give KCD a go be warned though, it will relentlessly punish you for any foolishness early on. It’ll make you work for every thing, no starting out as some warrior running down mobs of bandits. But it pays out with a true RPG experience that rewards incremental skill progress.
In the last decade, apart from the witcher 3, only Indy studios have produced truly memorable experiences for me.
USSEthernet@startrek.website 7 months ago
Sea of Stars recently came out if you liked older SNES RPGs. Reminiscent of Chrono Trigger, they even snagged one of the music producers from it.
Hollow Knight if you like metroidvanias. My son and I are excited for the sequel if it ever releases.
Tricky Towers is a family fun Tetris type multi-player game.
Blue Fire, 3D platformer/metroidvania.
Hacknet, OS UI hacking sim.
Crab Champions (early access coded by EDM producer Noisestorm), 3D bullet hell/loot&shoot where you play as you guessed it… a crab.

Many more of course.

Chained echoes is also a banger
TheDarkKnight@lemmy.world 7 months ago
It’s like people don’t know Brotato even exists!
MeanEYE@lemmy.world 7 months ago
So many Bros.
mangosloth@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Would you say bastion is the best supergiant title pre-Hades? I’ve been eyeing both that and transistor for a while
MeanEYE@lemmy.world 7 months ago
I would. But I didn’t play a lot of their games. Bastion is kind of unique. Story is pretty linear but its structure is quite a novelty. There’s an awesome narrator that is telling the story, but he reacts to everything you do and has a snarky sense of humor. Game is well designed action RPG with a good variety of weapons and in my eyes very little replay value. Still worth the asking price though.
DarkThoughts@kbin.social 7 months ago
CrossCode! Why is this freaking game still such an underdog?
Zero Sievert is also well worth mentioning.
Tarquinn2049@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Yeah, CrossCode is absolutely amazing. I didn’t hear about it until recently. I’m so glad I didn’t completely miss out on it. It’s like my number 1 favourite game now and I almost missed it.
I like to make sure I bring it up anytime people ask about good games they may not have heard of.
Literally my idea of the perfect game.
DarkThoughts@kbin.social 7 months ago
Welcome to the CC simps, because you're certainly not the only one who does that. It's generally a no brainer considering that they also still offer a demo to just try it out. Of course that doesn't tell you much about the great story and characters, but I think the fluidity of the movement and combat system definitely can convince people over already.
taaz@biglemmowski.win 7 months ago
CrossCode isn’t my type of a game but I saved Zero Sievert, looks good!
AnarchistArtificer@slrpnk.net 7 months ago
I recently played Outer Wilds for the first time last week. Games like this, I always worry they’re overhyped, but it was great.
There’s a lot of good games on this list, plus ones I’ve never played before, I should probably check some of them out.
Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Ignore the pre-release hype (I mean hype before anyone gets to try the game, early access hype is good). If the game is hyped after people get to play it, then I find it’s safer to trust, though personal preferences can still make it miss the mark.
dong@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 months ago
This list is utterly fantastic, but if you haven’t given Dave The Diver a chance you definitely should. It’s by far my favorite release from this year, and the devs seem to have even more content planned.
taaz@biglemmowski.win 7 months ago
Heard about it, haven’t played it yet but I did have heard great stuff about it, it’s definitely on my future radar
Adori@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Can confirm these are absolute bangers
Alivrah@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Can confirm your confirmation, some of these are incredible experiences
Adori@lemmy.world 7 months ago
I agree with you man, thanks for agreeing with me
SkyeStarfall@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 months ago
That feeling when you have played (and loved!) Like 90% of this list lmao
…do I play too many games?
…nah
ShitOnABrick@lemmy.world 7 months ago

Gruntyfish@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Thank you very much for the recommendations!
gothic_lemons@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Ty for the list!
AceFuzzLord@lemm.ee 7 months ago
I’d like to add Ardor to the list. It’s a free turn based deck building game where you face off against hexagon creatures on a hexagon board. It’s not a fleshed out and fancy as some of the other titles on this list.
taaz@biglemmowski.win 7 months ago
This sounds interesting, thank you!
