KeeperFX - an opensource decompilation project and fan expansion of Dungeon Keeper.
If you bother to write a response, then please at least write what genre of game it is.
You can easily look them up using a search engine of your choice. But I understand the lazyness.
I asked this a while ago which is how I discovered Beyond All Reason which has been my FOSS game of choice as of late.
I’d also recommend Naev and Endless Sky (Both are based on the Escape Velocity Series, Naev is getting a 3D PBR renderer in the next release). Mindustry is good fun, actually purchased this one on steam to support the amazing developer. Extreme Tux Racer is a bit of fun and Super Tux Kart seems to get better with every update (did I mention it can run on the Nintendo Switch via homebrew!)
Edit: I forgot about 0ad and Minetest which I used to play a bit of a while back
BAR is great – Total Annihilation was always one of my favorite games from childhood and BAR feels the most like it compared to other spiritual successors like SupCom/FA and other community projects. I actually tried to contribute a couple commits to the project but I don’t think they took them.
I also found bar from an open source thread on Lemmy. It’s such a good game. You a cortex or Armada player?
I’ve only been spamming cortex I haven’t tried arm yet.
Quite the opposite—I’ve only played Armada, not that I have any real strategy to speak of buy I like to set up lots of radar as well as claim the airspace early then once I’ve built the nuke the game is pretty much won. Haven’t tried that on a real player yet though
Since you’re in aus timezone you might see me around. I play most nights under the name Fizzz

Thank you for your contribution
It’s definitely a work-in-progress title, but I have really enjoyed SuperTux Advance (AGPL-3.0 according to their github page). It’s like SuperTux but with sliding, more playable characters, and more power ups. As of now it’s probably my favorite OS game at the moment.

Reading SuperTux Advance made me imagine a Game Boy Advance demake of SuperTux, that would actually be so cool.
Edit: Oh, it seems I was half correct. It appears to be a re-imagining of the original game in a GBA art style.
Xonotic (quake-esque FPS, IMO its like quake and halo had a FOSS child), Minetest (a voxel game engine, multiple games are available for it), and Mindustry (sandbox tower defense) are the only ones ive tried so far
it’s not really a game, but openmw
Morrowind was Bethesda’s peak moment, so obviously foss engine keeping it alive to this day is awesome!
Pixel Dungeon, Battle for Wesnoth
Wesnoth’s soundtrack is such a classic
An open source re-implementation of RollerCoaster Tycoon 2
I really wish someone would do an OpenRCT3. It was so much fun being able to ride your creations. I had a 3D projector back then too, which made the game even more awesome. Such an underrated sequel.
And yes I’m aware that Planet Coaster exists but has anyone actually tried playing that game? They made everything way too complicated and I just can’t get into it. I don’t want to engineer every single bend and design the perfect landscaping from scratch, I just want to slap some rides together, see the guests come pouring in, and occasionally ride one of my rides (in VR, ideally). No game since RCT 3 has satisfied that itch for me.
You might want to have a look at parkitect! Its an hommage to rct1/2 but in a modern 3d presentation
OpenRCT2 is awesome, but as of now you still need the original commercial game to play it, since the open source version doesn’t have graphics.
Maybe one day they’re going to recreate graphics from scratch, like they did with the other Chris Sawyer’s reversed engineered game OpenTTD.
I still haven’t tried it, but I’ve heard how great Veloren apparently is. It’s an MMO voxel game that takes inspiration from Zelda: Breath of the Wild and is written in Rust.
Early game is a bit confusing and direction less last I played but once you get your bearings its a load of fun
- OpenTTD
- Net hack
- Boom/Doom
- Quake/Quake 2
Super Tux kart I think it’s underrated and fun
Super Tux Kart (I play it on Android) is NOT one of them. The physics system is bad at some moments, the items aren’t fun to use and some of them ruin the game. The overall game feels amateurish (in a bad way), but one thing that I like is the Windows Car and the drifting. Those are awesome.
I am surprised that 0 A.D. is not mentioned.
Although initially unplayable, the game was fun in the mid-to-late 2000s.
I haven’t checked it out in a while, but it holds high nostalgic value for me.
Great game, can recommend! Used to play it a lot with a friend.
I’m still playing this, I like history
