Ive been playing zero-k recently, and wondering what other great open source video games are out there?
Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead, has a really strong community behind it. Be warned, it is an intensely deep simulation (as in dwarf fortress), that is often criticized for it’s tediousness. But that gameplay element critique aside, it’s a fantastic example of a community developped game.
Highly recommend. Easier to grasp than dwarf fortress, although finding community can be a bit hard since reddit shutdown
Veloren is based on Cube World and it’s an RPG with server builds and everything
Battle for Wesnoth is the one that comes to mind first. Turn based strategy game.
Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup classical roguelike, as in actually like Rogue/nethack. Can be played with ASCII or graphical tiles, and you can play in a browser window with scoreboards and a spectator mode.
Unciv if you enjoy sacrificing hours of your life :)
Are we talking about serious business civ 2 style, or something more relax like the 5th one ?
Tux Racer is the OG.
