Ive been trying some indie developed games this past year, more than ever and I’m in awe what lone devs or small teams can accomplish.

So, what are some games that you think don’t have the recognition they deserve, need a bigger audience or you would like the community to try.

I myself for example have played Monster Sanctuary, which at this point I think is not that hidden anymore and played a rougelike game called Elona, haven’t played RimWorld or Dwarf Fortress but I might in the future.

Sorry if a similar post already exists haven’t checked.

    Kenshi - a brutal, and sometimes janky squad free roaming game. I have far too many hours in that.
    Pulsar - Lost Colony - Fun game if you have a few friends around. Pretend to be Captain Kirk - except chaos.
    Rimworld – Dwarf Fortress lite
    Dwarf Fortress - Grand daddy inspiration for most other games
    Torchlight - Diablo
    Project Zomboid - All your top down zombie hunting dreams come true
    Carrier Command - Drone carrier warfare
    Nebulous Fleet Command - The Expanse.

    Does X4 count as Indie?

      Wow you named nearly every game I was gonna recommend! My only addition would be Shadow Empire. It’s a 4x game set on a post apocalyptic planet that is procedural generated. The game has terrible graphics and a brutal learning curve but it’s a blast and has wonderful role-playing elements as well as good strategy.
