Nomads of the Fallen Star

Open world

A blend of trade simulation and turn-based squad RPG in a post-apocalyptic sci-fi world. You lead a band of scavengers, trade goods and uncover the mystery of the fallen star.

Encased

Choices with consequences

An isometric sci-fi post-apocalyptic CRPG in the spirit of the late-90s classics, set in a sealed-off zone full of artifacts from a vanished civilization. Turn-based combat, character building and meaningful decisions define the experience.

Star Command

A party of several characters

An early 1988 sci-fi RPG where you lead a starship crew through turn-based combat, defending the human Triangle against pirates and insectoid aliens.

Caves of Qud

An extremely deep science-fantasy roguelike where you explore a vast, part handcrafted, part procedural world turn by turn. Dozens of mutations and interlocking simulation systems enable unusual builds and emergent stories where you can do almost anything.

You play the first sentient AI in a city full of possibilities, choosing whether to build a robot army, rule as a benevolent machine overlord, or chase other goals. A blend of strategy, sandbox and RPG elements leaves many paths to your objectives.

Wasteland

Choices with consequences

A 1988 classic in which you lead a squad of Rangers through a nuclear-ravaged America, using tabletop-style skills, turn-based combat and a surprisingly reactive world. It is the forerunner of the Fallout series.

Space Rangers

Open world

A Russian hybrid space game where you freely roam a living galaxy as a Ranger, trading, fighting and taking on quests while resisting the Klissan invasion. Turn-based battles, text quests and tongue-in-cheek humor set it apart.
