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.

Messiah

Focus on a single character

You play Bob, a small angel who can possess other beings in a grim future world and use their abilities. The mix of third-person action, puzzles and dark humor was quite unusual for its time.

High on Life 2

Lots of humour

A garish, joke-packed sci-fi shooter where wisecracking alien guns banter nonstop while you shoot and skate through bizarre planets. It doubles down on Squanch Games' irreverent humor with added mobility and traversal.

Cruelty Squad

Lots of humour

A deliberately garish, surreal first-person shooter where you play a numbed corporate assassin eliminating targets in whatever creative way you like. Grotesque satire, bizarre levels and open-ended approaches make it unique.

Heat Signature

Tactical depth

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.

Streets of Rogue

Focus on a single character

A chaotic top-down roguelite set in a procedurally generated city where you can tackle missions through brute force, stealth, hacking, or absurd character abilities. Its systemic interactions and goofy humor create constant surprises, including in co-op.

Star Control II

Lots to discover

A classic space adventure where you captain a single ship across a huge galaxy, meeting eccentric alien races, gathering resources and allies, and fighting 2D ship duels against an overwhelming threat. Witty dialogue and a legendary soundtrack make it memorable.

Space Station 13

Focus on a single character

A chaotic multiplayer role-playing sandbox on a space station where players take on jobs and create unpredictable stories through teamwork, sabotage and roleplay.
