Duelyst

Although not exactly an indie game, I think this game needs tons more publicity.
Everyone's tried a CCG before (Collectible Card Game), but have you played one where every card affects a chessboard like arena, where strategy is much more important than lucky card draws.
This game is very similar to hearthstone, but with strategy and good thinking needed to win games and minimal luck. Every turn you can swap out cards from your hand so that it is easier to get your deck's (amazing no doubt) combos onto the board, so that you can destroy your enemies easily, and many mechanics such as taunt cards from hearthstone being implemented onto a turn based board intuitively. Overall, the only thing limiting this game is the number of cards available, but this will increase as time goes on.

Mount & Blade: Warband

One of the best historical games on the market. Set in the fantasy world of Calradia, this game is far from being pure fantasy, being an extremely realistic depiction of life in medieval times. The game allows you to train a private army, become a lord under a King, start your own kingdom, running castles, villages and market towns, or just go from village to village razing innocents' homes to the ground. There are many lords and counts in the various factions of Calradia, and each of them has a relationship with you, this can be changed by doing tasks for him, or joining him in battle. When you have enough renown, from winning battles and tournaments, you can swear an oath of allegiance to a faction's king, and gain control of a village, collecting taxes, and you can join in battles against the faction's enemies. The RPG elements are fantastic, including skill points, weapon skills, HP etc. your followers can also be levelled up through combat. You can expand your a...

Dungeon of the Endless

In this great indie game, many different genres are mixed together to make a stunning, intuitive game. The aim of the game is to get to the surface of a planet through a sci-fi dungeon. You make a team of a wide selection of characters at the start (You can find new ones as you progress) which you can level up to gain new skills and abilities. As you explore the dungeon you must build your economy in the dungeon rooms to get science for permanent upgrades, food for character progression, industry for making new buildings (such as economy buildings and defensive structures) and dust for powering rooms to stop monster spawns. This sounds a little complicated, but, with a great tutorial and intuitive controls, it's actually very simple. Once you have found the exit from a floor you must go back to the start of that floor and carry your energy crystal to the exit to power the lift to the next floor, while wave after wave of enemies come out of non-powered rooms to attack. Every time ...

Don't Starve Together

Klei Entertainment's Don't Starve together is a stand alone expansion identical to the original Don't Starve but with multiplayer enabled. In this hard-core, extremely difficult survival game, you must fight insanity, monsters and starvation to try and survive on a deserted Island. This game is open world and contains a huge amount of content. The whole game is Han drawn which gives it a very nice look and feel to it. This game IS very hard, and unlike most survival games, you mainly just have to focus on surviving, rather than building up huge bases for P2P. You can play a variety of different characters each with their own pros and cons and special abilities, which allows each attempt to survive to be different from the last. With only up to 6 people in a game, this isn't really designed as an MMO. The game on Steam even comes with a free copy for a friend.
