Terraformers

Building and crafting

You transform Mars step by step into a livable world by harvesting resources, founding cities, and creating oceans and life. A laid-back colony-building and 4X strategy game with roguelite elements.

Cogmind

Runs that play out differently every time

A turn-based sci-fi roguelike where you play a robot that constantly rebuilds itself from parts scavenged off other machines. Every choice in loadout, tactics and hacking matters, and no run plays the same.

Drill Core

Runs that play out differently every time

You drill into the heart of planets as a ruthless corporation, managing workers, researching tech and defending against alien attacks. You constantly weigh efficiency against safety.

Wall World

Strong character progression

You climb an endless wall on a giant robot spider, mining resources below and defending against monster waves above. Permanent upgrades between runs create an addictive roguelike loop.

FTL: Faster Than Light

Runs that play out differently every time

You captain a starship on the run, rerouting power, directing crew and making tough calls in pausable real-time battles. Every run is procedurally generated, brutally tense and often ends in glorious failure.

Shortest Trip to Earth

Runs that play out differently every time

A space roguelike where you pilot your ship through sectors, manage crew and resources, and survive tactical real-time battles. Every run brings new decisions, events and ship upgrades.

Against the Storm

Building and crafting

A roguelite city builder where you found new settlements in the endless rain, juggling resources, species needs and looming storms. Randomized maps and conditions keep each run fresh, while meta-progression steadily expands your options.

Icarus Starship Command Simulator

Runs that play out differently every time

An indie starship command sim where you push through a randomly generated galaxy toward its center to try to stop an impending supernova. I know the game only partly, so this rating is cautious.

Space Tyrant

Runs that play out differently every time

A fast-paced, turn-based roguelite 4X strategy game where you play a ruthless tyrant, build a fleet, make enemies and march toward total galactic domination.
