Our Favorite Downloadable Games

ToMe is way better. It's also a rouge like, but with tons and tons of dungons. And it's in color. Tons of classes, items, millionz of monsters.....It's insane.

Just download version 234 or so. Anything newer has a weird interface I never could figure out.

Lurked for quite a while here, but I just had to register so I could rep my favorite roguelikes.

(Linley(Henzell)'s)Dungeon Crawl "has superb, deep tactical gameplay, innovative magic and religion systems, and a grand variety of monsters to fight."  The above links to the Stone Soup variant which arose to address the desires of the players when vanilla Crawl development slowed to a halt.  Even more fabulous, a player by the name of Enne Walker coded up a version with graphics!



Utilitarian graphics even!  Somebody finally had the bright idea that 32x32 sprite in 256 colors can convey more info than a single character!  Your sprite changes based on items equipped, and a long sword is easily distinguishable from a falchion using *just your eyes*! Imagine!


Or, if you seek a more old-school sensation, you can't go wrong with vanilla Angband.  A new dev took the helm a year or two ago, and it's looking good so far.

You know I'm amazed that Cave Story only got 1 short little post on the first page of this thread.  But I see people raving about this Knytt Stories game.  As far as downloadable games go I don't think Cave Story can be topped.  It's got a good length of about 6 and a half hours, nearly infinite replayability, a terrific storyline, varied environments with great level design, just the right amount of difficulty, brilliant characters and translations, and though it resembles games like Metroid and Megaman (they hold the top spot in side-scrolling action platforming) it differentiates itself just enough to be unique and fun.  NOW SOMEBODY ACKNOWLEDGE THE GREATNESS OF DOUKUTSU MONOGATARI!

Lol, yeah, I also liked Cave Story alot, but couldn't be arsed to look stupid and post it again because it was already on the first page.

[Glamador]

Well I could be arsed to look stupid.  It deserves praise.

[Alphasoldier]

Eh, I didn't mean it like that, was more that I wouldn't get a barrage of "That's already on the forum."

But yeah, you are right, Cave Story is so awesome that it should be on every page of this topic. =p

I just beat the prototype of this game! it's simple, fun, addiction! very relaxing. the link is to the one in development called Crayon Physics deluxe but you can find a link to the original Crayon Physics. I recommend it even thought the creator dislikes it . there are a total of 7 levels in Crayon Physics.
