Indie Games Megathread?
posted 2 years ago by Zodiac988 2 years ago by Zodiac988 +45 / -0

We're still a gaming community right guys?

Hoping we can compile a trustworthy-ish list of indie games that are actually worth a damn. I'm maybe a single toe deep into the Indie game world.

What are some of your recommendations?

The only relatively modern indie game I've tried and liked is Against the Storm, a roguelike citybuilder.

Early Access? Boo...

Let me know when it's actually released and I'll give it a go.

Against the Storm was a shockingly good stumble upon. I got it last year with half the content it currently has and it still was an easy 60+ hours.

It manages to do what few "roguelikes" seem to understand. Which is giving you some control towards your builds but not enough to be predictable, but having enough valid choices to be able to stumble upon a working build even by accident instead of having to just give up because you missed some pieces you needed.

The publisher of that, Hooded Horse, has a bunch more games in progress that I'm interested in. A bunch of scifi ones look promising. I hope they don't all get released at the same time.

Been playing Terra Invicta from that pool of games, very good.

Humanity First, baby!

dotAge just came out and has similar gameplay. I never would have expected roguelike and city builder to combine so well, and yet they do.
