Ive been playing zero-k recently, and wondering what other great open source video games are out there?
Ive been playing a lot of MineClone2 which is a modpack for Minetest!
haven’t used mineclone2, but i do want to echo minetest
I like re3, reVC and reLCS. These are reverse engineered versions of GTA 3, Vice City and Liberty City Stories with improvements. Take Two has thrown a strike on the main repository, but you can still find mirrors or builds in the internet.
I used to play Sauerbraten, a Quake-like FPS, way back in the day. Doesn’t look like it’s very active any more.
Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead, or if you like something a little less complex, Cataclysm: Bright Nights, are fantastic roguelike games. Proper traditional, turn based, tileset ones.
Imagine a mix of Fallout and The Walking Dead, that’s what it’s like. It’s superb. The possibilities are endless
Gonna try it!
Shattered Pixel Dungeon Roguelike, very addctive :)
Make sure to help jumpstart the community here a [email protected]
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 ?
I believe it’s based on Civ4 by default but can be modded to be more like 3 or 5
A lot of good tips here, but you should have a look at Endless Sky! Really cool space game
https://github.com/endless-sky/endless-skyI’m surprised that no one mentioned super tux kart yet
Unciv is a decent Civilization clone
OpenTTD is more a strategic game,but it’s great. OpenRCT sadly requires the graphics of the original RCT2, so it’s not really open source. But also a favorite.
Veloren is based on Cube World and it’s an RPG with server builds and everything
Mindustry is a favorite of mine
+1 for mindustry. Great game and works across all platforms.
Been using the android version, hadn’t updated in a while, excited to see they added another world and a lot more content it seems!
I love the game, but absolutely hate the inability to freely save and load in a game where maps can last for hours.
inability to freely save and load in a game
Oof. That’s a really major downside. Bummer.
Edit: just downloaded to see for myself. You seem to be able to save and load, at least in singleplayer on pc.
I suspect I didn’t explain myself well.
If I remember correctly, you can enter and exit the campaign, and doing so saves the game. There is also a single autosave, which you can’t manually select and is there for better or worse.So in practice, one mistake or ruthless surprise can turn into a lot of wasted time. For the sake of my alopecia, I used to make regular backups to the whole folder, convenient enough using btrfs.
OpenTTD is a pretty cool transportation and train building game
- Xonotic is a great old school, Quake style FPS with an active community
- 0 A.D. is a pretty polished historical RTS
- The Battle for Wesnoth is a classic turn based strategy
- OpenRA is an open implementation of the Red Alert engine that’s got an active community
- Openhv is an OpenRA based sci-fi RTS
Similar to OpenRA, OpenMW is also an open recreation of the engine for The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind
Nice!
Neverball is my favorite. It’s a Monkey ball clone.
