Favorite "Indie" Games

Nexus war eh? Does that mean that that's Agema from Team Laser Explosion?! It's Bang/Dethnutz/I'm an engineer... small world eh?

Regarding independent games, Mount&Blade is a great medieval mounted/army combat game with an active modding community. It's been in development for years and keeps getting better. Demo lets you get to level 6 before having to buy.

Transcendence is a completely free action space roguelike developed by a single (awesome) person who has added tons of modding support over the various iterations. It's basically a finished game, although he'd like to add some extra content on the end and frequently adds new content to what's already out there. There's an active modding community there, too (check out the enhanced weapons mod if you try it, definitely worth a download).

I second Weird Worlds: Adventures in Infinite Space as a great game. I love the fact that it really does only take 10-30 minutes to play through a game once you get the hang of it. It's like candy.

Light of Altair looks a bit of alright. Following that one up, led me to this web site : http://tigsource.com/ The independant gaming news.

What a colossal collection of indie offerings! Check it out!

I've always took the phrase as meaning that when you battle against "evil", you may be tempted to stoop to their level to combat them. Either way, I really like the quote, the widely accepted translation and your version.

I enjoyed Battle for Wesnoth. Possibly the best free strategy game out there. And it is fantasy based!

the first public release of 3069 was made just hours ago!

it's based upon the futuristic roguelike '3059'. gameplay seems very similar too. I like 3069 because it has qualities that I'm using in the dominions roguelike, namely non-tile based world and different sized stuff (i.e. an elephant doesn't occupy the same space as a roach).

get it here:

id love to try laser squad nemesis but the thing is:

dominions is hands down my fav game(and believe me i have played ALOOOOOT)... the only thing that sucks is that singleplayer is worthless and MP is only done turn wise(a reason im going for the 1vs1 league :P ). I need something to fill the cracks between my turns without starting a buttload of MP games and getting frustrated and stalling/quitting.

laser squad is sadly also played like dominions though in MP

Regnor, I sent a game invite.....just wanted to see if the demo version works with the full blown version of LSN

[RegnorVex]

Yep, I got the Challenge and accepted it and have already deployed. ;-) Good luck!

OK, but I cant seem to get the game turn. I switched off the email option and when I try to get the game by typing in the game number, it just says my orders were sent succesfully, but I never sent any orders cuz I never gave any.
