I’m looking for recommendations for my Linux setup. But shattered pixel dungeon is amazing on android

      I wish it had a modern GUI though. The old one is almost unusable even though they’ve made an attempt to implement DPI scaling.

    Mindustry is neat if you like tower defenses and factory/automation games.

    [edit] Though this isn’t exactly a game, I thought I’d mention it: The Powder Toy. Really fun physics-ish sandbox game if you like just playing around with little particles or making electronics or nuclear powered fireworks shows, etc.

    Not a very original answer, but I still enjoy The Battle for Wesnoth after many years.

      I’m surprised hardly anyone else has mentioned Wesnoth yet. I last played it over a decade ago, so I’m not sure if it’s still as well-known now as it used to be, but it’s one of the highest-quality open-source games out there.

      It’s a turn-based fantasy strategy game that feels like a combination of Advance Wars, Fire Emblem, and D&D. And I suppose it was a lot more unique back in the 2000’s when there weren’t a dozen indie games out there that fit the same description.

    Nethack! It’s basically the original roguelike, if you liked shattered pixel dungeons then you’ll like nethack. There are also several other open source rogelikes to check out as well… including the original Rogue!

    Currently Endless Sky! Although I haven’t gotten far, and playing without mods, I love the vibes

    Mindustry and Shattered Pixel Dungeon, I played those a lot of my phone but haven’t done so in quite a while! I think both of those are available on desktop Linux too, Shattered Pixel Dungeon even works on my Linux phone.

      Yeah, Mindustry is cross platform and available on Linux too. Love mindustry, such an awesome game!

        It took me two or three attempts to really try and grasp the scale (one of the most complex games I ever played on my phone) but once I did I played it for countless hours! :)

    Beyond All Reasons. It’s a spiritual successor of Total Annihilation and Supreme Commander using the Spring engine.

    It’s also a great game in its own right, especially the various advanced unit positioning and selection features had me amazed. The graphics are good and the performance with many units is finally very good too, after some patches last year (or two years? I don’t remember).

    It’s pretty basic, but I’m going to say SuperTuxKart as a must if you are into kart racers (especially since I don’t know any others).

    I also recommend the still in development SuperTux Advance by Kelvin Shadewing. It’s similar to just plain old SuperTux but has unique levels and more playable characters that will have different abilities (probably still mostly locked behind debug for them).

      Omg I looked at veloren and I’m going to have to try that… I spent so many hours in cube world when it first went early access (before the dev went radio silent for 5 years and then released on steam, lol)
