Brings what grabs you about KeeperRL: building and crafting, complex systems to tinker with as well as economy and management.

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.

Necrosmith 2

Runs that play out differently every time

As a necromancer you stitch together custom undead from body parts, explore a generated world by night and fend off enemy hordes by day. The sequel adds flying and swimming creatures to your army.

Necrosmith

Runs that play out differently every time

As a necromancer you stitch together undead minions from mixed body parts and races, upgrade your tower, and send your clumsy army against hordes and the 'chosen ones'. Experimenting with body part combinations is the heart of the fun.

Gnomes

Runs that play out differently every time

You deploy your gnomes, tend your garden and build defenses while the map grows deeper into goblin territory each day. Every run plays differently, and smartly combined upgrades prepare you for the final showdown with the goblin king.

Odd Realm

A party of several characters

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.

Elin

Deep systems to master

Elin is the successor to the cult roguelike Elona: a huge sandbox world of adventuring, survival, crafting and home-building where you can do almost anything. It offers deep character growth, companions and a quirky tone.

Few Nights More

Runs that play out differently every time

A turn-based roguelike RPG where you play a Vampire Lord, designing a stronghold, defending it with traps and reclaiming lost territory. Stronghold building meets tactical combat.

Master of Magic

Deep systems to master

A classic turn-based 4X strategy game where you play a wizard founding cities, raising armies and researching spells to conquer two parallel worlds. Its blend of empire building and rich magic makes it a cult favourite.

RimWorld

Deep systems to master

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.
