Brings what grabs you about Airborne Empire: building and crafting, economy and management as well as an open world.

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.

Pyramida

Pure single-player experience

You grow a small town center in a desert landscape into a thriving village with farms, windmills and hunting. At night monsters lurk, so you have to keep your settlement safe.

Craft the World

Building and crafting

A 2D sandbox blend of Terraria and Dungeon Keeper: you direct a band of dwarves, build fortresses, gather resources and craft gear while exploring a randomly generated world and fending off monsters.

Odd Realm

Building and crafting

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.

Ratopia

Lots to discover

Ratopia blends colony and city building with survival: as a rat ruler you dig into a subterranean world, manage your citizens and build a working economy. The cute pixel-art look keeps the management approachable and charming.

Dwarf Fortress

Building and crafting

You build and manage a dwarven fortress in a deeply simulated world where every dwarf has its own personality and every system interacts. Watch your civilization decline and use the lessons for your next attempt.

Noble Fates

Fantasy setting

A 3D fantasy colony sim in the vein of Dwarf Fortress, where you run a settlement of characters with their own opinions and memories. You build, farm, hunt and defend your realm, either from a top-down view or by taking direct third-person control.
