Cheap Games

Discussion about playing games priced $15 or less, Free/Donation-ware is great too! For Piracy there are other communities.

Common sources are Itch.io and Google Play

Creating a Post

Try to use the game name as the title. Try to avoid posting links, but linking in the post content is good.

Comments

The goal is to have one topic per game, and share information and play experiences. Comments are a good place to link to outside articles, videos, Twitch, etc.

The Battle for Wesnoth is a scenario-based fantasy wargame. You pick a campaign to play, and your units and characters progress from battle to battle, gaining experience and telling a story along the way.

Definitely more of a focus on the war-game than the story, but it's interesting and a bit like Fire Emblem. You can set a high difficulty, but also save and reload as much as you like.

It's open source , you can download for free and create your own maps/scenarios . There is a 20-year development history, though I only heard about it 2 years ago. Had lots of fun playing through with occasional reloads.. OK in a few places I reloaded a lot :)

This game has a shocking amount of content for an open source game. I've not gotten nearly all the way through it but it's obviously been a labor of love from the developers. Great game, would definitely recommend as well :)
