I'm usually a fan of open source games but rarely do they manage to be actually great. People like giving recommendations like Super Tux Kart that haven't aged well and don't play well. What are some open source games that are legitimately good that I've missed?

My favorites are:

  • Mindustry

  • Sonic Robo Blast 2 Kart

  • Powder Toy

  • GZDoom (and all the amazing mods for it)

  • Veloren (even though it's still in alpha)

I haven't played Warsow in years, so I don't know what state the game or community is in. It's a fast paced FPS multiplayer that turned the old bunnyhopping exploit into a central feature iirc.

Beyond All Reason if you're looking for an RTS similar to Supreme Commander. I haven't tried playing it in a few years though. I'm sure it's gotten some updates since then.

Great game, although someone recently told me not all graphics were licensed free licenses.

Supreme Commander & SupCom Forged Alliance are super cheap on discount on GOG. Forged Alliance Forever is incredible with the amount of work they've done to patch the game and keep the community going.

OpenRCT (not totally free but a damn impressive project nonetheless)

[-] DaveedMee@beehaw.org 2 points 11 months ago

OpenRCT is free iirc! You can just get the RCT2 demo for the assets OpenRCT needs

Which of these are available on Android?

I have F-droid, and Ive installed Mindustry and Open Transport Tycoon Deluxe.

Mindustry is great for wasting time.

Battle For Wesnoth is on android, the controls are kinda wonky but it's not bad.

[-] Justchilling@feddit.nl 4 points 11 months ago

Unciv is pretty cool and portable.

KeeperRL is a lighter Dwarf-Fortress like game where you play as a Monster making a Dungeon.

Taisei Project for Touhou and other 2D bullet-hell shooter fans (I recommend installing it instead of playing online).
