โฒ 152 โผ What are your favorite "ugly" games? (lemmy.ml) submitted 3 years ago by GrappleHat@lemmy.ml to c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml 125 comments fedilink hide all child comments I enjoy Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup played in the terminal with ASCII graphics. I wonder whether there are other hidden gems out there which don't get attention because they are "ugly"?

I haven't played it but it looks great. Er... Gameplay wise anyway lol. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [โ] Orange@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 years ago Looks like its going for a vibe similar to the original Doom! That trailer on the steam page was amazing. permalink fedilink source parent [โ] JackbyDev@programming.dev 2 points 3 years ago Yeah. A lot of the UI seems to be intentionally bad. It's actually a pretty hard game. A good example is reloading. You do this by holding right click, moving the mouse down then up and letting go of right click. I think the visual parts of the experience speak for themselves from the screenshots but my point is that even a lot of other stuff in the game is just wack. permalink fedilink source parent
