While Take-Two is riding high on their announcement that a GTA 6 trailer is coming, its CEO has some…interesting ideas on how much video games could cost, part of a contingent of executives that believe games are underpriced, given their cost, length or some combination of the two.

Thank fuck for indie devs making the best games right now at an affordable price.

I have over a thousand games in my steam library and my most played is dominated by indie games.

I am curious which indie titles you would recommend.

[-] jomoo99@lemmy.world 9 points 9 months ago

What's your genre?

[-] solivine@sopuli.xyz 6 points 9 months ago

Can you recommend any dungeon crawlers or survival games?

[-] simple@lemm.ee 9 points 9 months ago

Some dungeon crawlers I enjoyed: Hades, Enter the Gungeon, Torchlight 1 & 2, Crypt of the Necrodancer, Legend of Grimrock, The Binding of Isaac Rebirth

[-] CobblerScholar@lemmy.world 6 points 9 months ago

Hades on the Switch might be right up your alley

For the king (1&2) & Valheim

Shattered Pixel Dungeon is my all-time favorite mobile game. It's a Rogue-like with hundreds/thousands of ways to win; but be prepared to be humbled.

Literally just made it to the shop keeper after defeating the slime boss. It's a hell of a game. Maybe one of the best.

See I normally like this type of game but struggle to get into this one in particular. I'm also confused about most items in it.

Neverwinter Nights has 20+ years of custom content, runs on almost anything, is still getting graphical & engine updates and has modules & persistent world servers that cover both of those genres & more.

TIL: NWN is still alive.

[-] TeNppa@sopuli.xyz 1 points 9 months ago

For a literal dungeon crawler: Demeo

Ape Escape is very quick to pick up and a blast to play. It's more of the old school side scrolling style, but definitely in the survival theme.

[-] guyrocket@kbin.social 3 points 9 months ago

Tower defense and strategy in general.

[-] OmenAtom@lemmy.world 6 points 9 months ago

Try Factorio, its fantastic

[-] guyrocket@kbin.social 1 points 9 months ago

Thanks! On my wishlist already.

Cool, thanks. Wishlisted this.

Not exactly a minor indie game by any means, but bloons td6 is the game I've player the most on mobile by some distance. It's £6 with no microtransactions and a shit load of content. If you like TD games this is a home run.
