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"?

Mindustry. It's a mix between an RTS and Factorio. It's pretty nice and Open Source

It's not ugly but I find it pretty hard to figure out what's happening at a glance because it's really abstract

Open Source

You said it all

I loved this at first but then the complexity of the various mechanics seemed to take a sharp rocket ship upwards through the roof. I got kind of lost and then tried to read the wiki guide and it was like a book, so that was that. I really wanted to like it though! Maybe I should give it another go.

Mindustry has wonderful graphics!? Nice vector objects that scale smoothly. What’s the ugly part??
