  • Sci-fi setting
  • Tactical depth
  • Strong character progression

A tower defense game with real-time strategy touches, where you mine resources, build and upgrade defenses, and hold off waves of alien Titans. A 50-level campaign and a tech tree keep it varied.

Enter the Chronosphere

Strong character progression

A psychedelic roguelike that mixes real-time action with turn-based tactics. You play misfit aliens, stack weapons, items and abilities into wild builds, and shut down time-devouring chronospheres.

Cobalt Core

Lots of humour

A sci-fi roguelike deckbuilder where your crewed ship fights on a single axis, dodging missiles and lining up cannon shots. A funny time-loop story and plenty of crew and card combos keep each run fresh.

Mars Attracts

Lots of humour

A tongue-in-cheek theme park management sim in the Mars Attacks universe: as Martians you build rides and abduct humans as star attractions, while keeping guests happy and preventing escapes.

Void Bastards

Lots of humour

A comic-styled first-person shooter with a roguelike structure: you raid procedurally generated derelict ships, plan routes through the nebula and juggle scarce resources. The look is like a living comic book, with dry, dark humor.

Into the Grid

Strong character progression

A cyberpunk roguelike deckbuilder where you play a hacker, building a deck of programs and fighting through cyberspace against powerful corporations.

Heat Signature

Challenging difficulty

You dock a tiny pod onto enemy spaceships and infiltrate them with improvised plans to take out guards, steal loot, or hijack the whole vessel. It thrives on pausable top-down tactics and chaotic, emergent stories.

Defense Grid: The Awakening

Linear, curated structure

A classic tower defense game where you protect power cores from waves of alien insectoids. Smart placement and upgrading of ten tower types on fixed build pads, plus a dry-witted AI narrator, define the experience.

Z: Steel Soldiers

Lots of humour

A real-time strategy game about robot armies where the focus is on capturing territories and factories rather than building bases. The tone is tongue-in-cheek and humorous, with battles in 3D landscapes.
