The Top Ten Best Indie Games

Feb 12, 2013  I'm super excited to announce today, the launch of our new game 'Destroy the Porn'. If you like the game play of Metroid, and Super Meat Boy, then you will love this little 10 minute mash up of the two game play styles.

1Undertale

I played this game late in 2019 but god is it amazing! Feels like a Nintendo game and deserves all the praise it has received! Thank you Toby Fox for making this fantastic rpg and looking forward to Deltarune and other games you may create in the future!

If you didn't vote Undertale no. 1 you are going to have a bad time.

Incredible characters and astonishing music. The idea behind it really fills me with hope (and not much can nowadays).

As good as naming myself temmie and doing a full genocide run (yes, I'm currently doing this).

2Shovel Knight

Deserves number 1 but this is good, it reminds me of my child hood back in 2010, yes the nes was the only thing my dad had lool

An NES game on steroids, combining the glory of old game design with the fluidity that today's games are known to have.

The standard for what an indie game should be. Still going strong and getting new content after 3 years

Not even half a decade old, and it's one of the classics

3Castle Crashers

This is the most epically-stupid game I have ever played, which is what makes it so great. It's a most inspiring adventure with an awesome soundtrack and replay value, chock-full of poop jokes and silly moments. Castle Crashers does NOT take itself seriously in the slightest, and yet emerges as one of the greatest things ever produced by Newgrounds.
This game was my childhood, boys. I laughed my ass off playing Castle Crashers and it's definitely something worth checking out.

Honestly I Get Why Undertale And Shovel Knight Are Above Castle Crashers But In My Opinion Castle Crashers Is My Favorite Game Tied With Terraria. I Mean Come On Who Wouldn't Love This Game, There's 34 Playable Characters And Not To Mention This Will Keep You Hooked For Life, So Yeah Castle Crashers For Life - TundraTopTenners

Loved this game as a kid - CameronBinder

This game is epic

5Cuphead

I haven't played the game myself, but MAN... I just love the 1930's-inspired art style of the game! The latest indie game's three years of development were well worth the wait. The game revolves around you controlling the titular character Cuphead as he and his brother must fight their way through stages and bosses in a hit-and-run spree in order to keep their souls after losing a bet to the Devil. Now the gameplay mechanic is simple: you have your character shoot enemies with their fingers in order to progress further in the game. However, what lies in store is having to traverse the expertly challenging bosses and stages that will truly test if you can keep all your HP in one piece and get an S rank, let alone actually defeat the bosses themselves. Aside from the gameplay, what really steals the show for me is the animation. Being that Cuphead's character is inspired by Mickey Mouse's (and to a lesser extent, Mugman might be inspired by Oswald the Lucky Rabbit. This game should ...more - ModernSpongeBobSucks

Not only are Undertale and Minecraft indie games I like, but also this too. - TSLMasterYT

Best here hands down

Cuphead<Undertale

6Shantae (Series)

The games feels for the most the same but varies at times in good ways and somewhat different from time to time and has some unique yet sort of but still predictable story lines. Although 10 out of 10 if you ask me.

I love the Shantae games! They're so underrated and need some more love!

This should be higher than undertale

I'd put these individually, but all three (soon-to-be-four) games in this series are just all so great, and it'd be tough to pick just one! Can't wait for Half-Genie Hero to come out soon! Wayforward, you've done it again!

7Super Meat Boy

Super Meat Boy is personally one of my favorite games of all time with its perfect amounts of difficulty and humor all leading up to the fact that you can unlock and play with characters from other Indie games.

So many indie games try to implement a unique mechanic that you've never seen before that completely changes up gameplay. Super meat boy doesn't give you the ability to turn back time, or to jump to an intersecting 2d plane. It doesn't have a turn based combat system mixed with bullet hell. All you do is jump from platform to platform and try not to die. I would personally find this boring if it weren't for the incredible controls and hard as nails, yet fair, platforming. It's a total blast.

RAGE, RAGE and Constant Rage, the best masterpiece of rage platforms (and humor)

This was one of the first indie games to strike big

8Fez

Awesome. Pure awesome. Except all the negative Phil Fish buzz of course.

9Hollow Knight

What is not to love about this game? The gameplay is fun, the art style is great, and the bosses are pretty amazing.

Hollow Knight was made by two people, basically.
It doesn't innovate or bring new astonishing things to the table, but everything it does, it touches perfection. Being as it is, I can assume that this is the best Metroidvania eve made without a doubt, and deserves to be on the top 5 list.
My top 5 would be:
1 - Minecraft
2 - Braid
3 - Limbo
4 - Hollow Knight
5 - Amnesia: the dark descent

Without a doubt the best indie game. It's an absolute masterpiece.

In a universe where many people idolized FNAF in 2014, I turned away from it. I see now that there are far better indie games out there. Like Hollow Knight. - Synchronocity

10Cave Story

Literally the game that started the whole indie game craze we have today

Best indie game in my opinion

It's simply too great

I need to play it - CrypticMemory

The Newcomers

The Contenders

11The Stanley Parable

It was played by Frank Underwood in House of Cards. You know it's something else when it's shown being played by a major character on a big hit show.

I love this game, it's so clever with its different endings, and hidden endings. It's my favourite indie game by far

Hilarious yet dark game... depending on which of the EIGHTEEN endings you get!

One of the best video games period.

12Terraria

Way more content than Minecraft.

One of my all time favorite games. I have heard Minecraft players talk about how their game has RPG elements in it. Guess what? Terraria actually has classes in it!

If this is number 10, I would like to see a minecraft player or Sans kill the Moon Lord.

Gotta be honest, I didn't know it was an indie game

13Limbo

Creepy, smart, and memorable with balanced difficulty. This game is just awesome!

One of the creepiest games and one of the only horror indie games to not rely on jump scares. An amazing experience

It's not only on top for it's gameplay but also for it's black and white art direction - apon

I nearly swore when I saw the spider I nearly swore. and I'm twelve.

14Mark of the Ninja

Stealth, Stylish, Adventurous... A new era of sandbox starts from it. - apon

I was going to vote for shovel night but I voted for this because it's the best 2d stealth games ever and one of the best stealth games ever.

15The Binding of Isaac

I adore this game. It's all about trying harder every time no matter how cruel the world is. The art style is pure black humor and the gameplay fit it. What I really like about this game that is is a pure EVIL but really fair -the game get harder every time you earn an achievement but also in this way you will get more loot.

Jesus Christ. Like a horror game but, not. So many bosses and items

Super Meat Boy Game Jolt Games

A Zelda ripoff, but a good one. It was originally made as an unsophisticated flash game for fun in not a lot of time

A sad game, a brutal game, a gory game, a naked game, a great game.

16Minecraft

There is a reason why Minecraft is such a bestseller and the creator of the game has already accumulated millions of dollars in his net worth. This game is really something special. It shifts away from the norms of sandbox gaming and creates an entire new level of fun, raising the bar for other aspiring game-makers for years to come. When I played it, it was such an euphoric experience for me and it still is. While the single-player mode is pretty depressing after a while, it still lives up to that of a valuable sandbox single-player. The multi-player completely dominates the name of the game and overall, it's definitely an indie game deserving of its fame and attention.

Technically not an indie game anymore now that Microsoft bought it. - Smash64

Overrated but for a good reason, this game is awesome. Despite the fanbase being awful it's still a very fun game. - ClicheUsername69

Great game just with it's sales figures combined it is the second most selling game ever.

17Amnesia: The Dark Descent

Here's a creepy one. I never played it, but it was so scary, I couldn't finish watching the YouTube video. Perfect one. - redhawk766

A chilling game, with corridors, monsters, and sanity, a new addition to the horror gaming industry. You have only 1 weapon, Stealth.

18Trine 2

Simply amazing game. I never get tired of it.

19To the Moon

Far better than I expected, made me shed a few tears.

Definitely should be number 1

This game is very emotional. But, I don't mean just sad. it deals with a mix of emotions, from happy, distressed, to sad, and satisfied. - CutiePoops

At begining:
Yay, anime battles, this game is hilarious!
At middle-Beginning:
Ohh, that's sad... Well back to work eh?!
At End-of-middle:
Oh God, what's going on? '
Wait a minute, are they going to... No!
At a certain cutscene (with a song so beautiful I bought it - I listen to Metal):
*through sobs of complete destraughtness*, why?!
No! Huh huh huh huh... *cries for another half an hour*
End:
WOW! ONE OF MY FAVOzuRziztES ever!
I'm buying that song.

20FTL: Faster Than Light

Challenging and keeps you on the edge of your seat.
Unlike one of the other games on this list.
*Cough* Undertale. *Cough*

Those achievements are a fun challenge

Fun and challenging every time you play. 145 hours and still playing.

22Bendy and the Ink Machine

Super Meat Boy Game Jolt Play

Bendy is one of my favorite series mainly because of how unique it is I mean most any games are unique that's one of the features of why it's called an indie game but bendy is it game that's not colorful it only has three different color variations and that's it and it adds in a lots of other Easter eggs not from the series but from the fans what kind of indie game does that none and this game has some of my favorite characters like bendy and Boris and Henry and I really love the other bendy games that the kindly Beast made and they all have different variations one could be a runner game another can be Anon action Survival game and I just love the story and I love how the game started off as an indie game that wasn't that well known at first but then it went through so many different faces to get where it's at now because of that I love it and it's about cartoons

Awesome game!

This should be 10 or higher

Yeah this is much better than undertale - SuperBananagengar

23Another Metroid 2 Remake

Easily just as good of a Metroid game as Sonic Mania is of a Sonic game...and believe me, that right there is saying something. - xandermartin98

Sadly it got taken down by nintendo.

An amazing Metroid game.

Dust: An Elysian Tail

Some of the best music I have heard, excellent story telling, excellent buildup! Best indie game!

My favorite indie game, and I've barely even made it far in the game - DarkShadows

26Five Nights at Freddy's 2

You haters have no life. How bout you leave us alone and do something useful apart from calling us cancer?

One of the best indie game series of all time in my opinion

NOPE. DON'T LIKE IT.

boo - CrypticMemory

30Papers, Please

It's incredibly interesting and fast-paced. And realistic. Enjoyed. - redhawk766

Awesome storyline and fast-paced gameplay - Sparta2210

Should be #1 (only had for 6 hours though! )

Choose betwenn do it right or do your job

35The Denpa Men 2: Beyond the Waves

Yes I love this game

37Hotline Miami

This game.. Is just beautiful. The fake retro-style fits perfectly the game, the soundtrack and the '80 theme are just awesome in my opinion. It has a weird story, as well as a secret ending. One of the best thing is killing in this game: it make you feel satisfied, on every single kill. You have to plan your kills carefully, or you'll just have to restart the level every time. You can play with your own style; Rush in with a rifle, or be stealthy with a baseball bat. I spent around 6-7 just for the main story I think. After that, you can go searching for the puzzle pieces and masks that you're missing, as well as the achievements. Really an awesome game. Hotline Miami 2 is coming out soon! THE HYPE

Hotline Miami has amazing & beautiful pixel art, great storyline, interesting characters and requires strategy and tactical thinking. Yet Undertale is number 1? I'll admit Undertale does have interesting characters, and a cool story but it just falls flat everywhere else.

Stands out above the rest because it doesn't give you garbage to fight, it gives you a fair chance while also making sure that chance isn't earned easily. It's easy to learn, difficult to memorize, but ridiculous to master.
It's also a gory fast-paced mess of fun that requires both strategy and timing to make sure you get the best score possible. Great story and soundtrack to boot as well, it's pretty unique in the world of lighthearted indie games. - Satire

Should be number 1 and not Undertale - bobbythebrony

38Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons

NOT. AN. INDIE. GAME
It's made by Starbreeze and they made Payday 2! WAKE. UP

40Rogue Legacy

This game will swallow you up and slowly digest you in it's bloated stomach until you are reduced to a shriveled little goblin desperately battling the final boss. An' ya know ya love it.

Amazing and creative

41Geometry Dash

EXTREMELY FUN! You should play this amazing indie game.

Fun and popular, can get irritating. - redhawk766

42Stardew Valley

This is easily one of my favorite games ever. On the surface it seems like just a farming sim, which it kind of is, but it goes much deeper than that, and it's a time-sink that you don't HAVE to spend lots of time in, which is the best possible situation. - neehawgamer

How this game is so low, I'll never understand. We both know you've heard of this beauty.

This game is so amazing

Way too low on this list. Best $15 you’ll ever spend!

43Celeste

As much as I love undertale and minecraft I absolutely adore this hidden gem. And the funny thing is I've never played it, only watched it played. but the lines are great the music is phenomenal (scattered and lost is one of my favorite game osts of all time) the platforming is hard as nails and yet it's so underrated. People like to make their characters ambiguous but when they have personality (like in kid icarus) it's a real treat. I can relate to madeleine so much as I too have heightened anxiety. Oh and Theos feather trick, I tried it, it works like a charm.

Literally the most inspirational and revolutionary. I'm surprised how some of these made the list. FNAF, how?

One of the best 2D platformers I've played in a long time. A phenomenal game. - SuperSonic17

45Kerbal Space Program

Agreed. Just agreed. I think this game is great, VERY underrated.

KSP is awesome. Minecraft does not deserve to be on this list.

I gone to Laythe with Jebidiah Kerman

47The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth

This game deserves number 1.

My all time favorites! Needso to be higher

48Dumb Ways to Die

It has a catchy theme song, and funny mini games. Eh, why not? (But seriously I have the app, and it is so hillarious! )

50The Journey

Naturally It's a desire of every indie gamer but you know... Its only Console game. - apon

Error Reporting

The Switch eShop is back in full swing this week, with no less than nine titles due before the week is out. Bayonetta and its sequel, Dragon Quest Builders and Kirby Star Allies are all now available to pre-order, too.

Super Meat Boy, Furi and The Escapists 2 are this week’s releases destined to climb the eShop chart high, having already proven popular on other formats.

Furi (£17.99) debuted as a PS Plus freebie, and is often referred to as an El Shaddai spiritual successor. It’s a boss-rush hack and slasher, with colourful abstract visuals and a tough – but not unfair – difficulty level. If you’re up for a challenge, it’s a worthwhile purchase.

Super Meat Boy (£11.99) needs no introduction, having graced just about every format going. This’ll be its 8th pitstop, according to a quick Google search. New to this version is a two-player split-screen race mode, in which either individual chapters or randomised levels can be rallied through.

Team 17’s The Escapists 2 (£19.99) also has a two-player mode. Two convicts can team up to break out of jail, either working together or against one another. Reviews went live earlier today, mostly being a mixture of 7s and 8s.

Black the Fall (£10.79 until 23rd Jan, £11.99 thereafter) is belated conversion likewise. The PS4/XO versions were published by Square-Enix, but it looks like developer SandSailorStudio has opted to go it alone for the Switch. It’s a grim puzzle/platformer set in a dystopian world, in which a machinist attempts to break free of a twisted regime with the help of a recently befriended robot. Scores were mixed upon launch, with some critics claiming that it’s simply a poor clone of Inside.

Then we have Moorhuhn Knights & Castles (£26.99!), the latest in the Moorhuhn (aka Crazy Chicken) franchise. Big in Germany, apparently. The hapless hen has crossed various genres in his lifetime; this instalment resembles Angry Birds, with a multiplayer mode due in the Spring.

Never Stop Sneakin’ (£11.69) is a game that EDGE quite liked, awarding it an 8/10. This humorous stealth adventure features randomly generated levels, and boss battles against such foes as Dr. Acula (do you see?) and Vice President Helicopter. Visually, it’s intended look similar to a certain PSone stealth classic.

Super Meat Boy Game Jolt Download

2D brawler Art of Fighting 2 (£6.29) is this week’s NeoGeo re-release. Energy Invasion (£2.69) meanwhile is a Breakout-alike with a twist – the paddles also fire missiles. That’s joined by match-three puzzler Azkend 2: The World Beneath (£6.99), and Of Mice and Sand Revised (£8.99) – and offbeat rodent management sim. And where are the mice nestled, you ask? Why, they’re inside giant Star Wars-style sand crawler.

The Wii U also gains a new Breakout clone, in the form of Breakout Defense 2 (£5.99). Wii U owners can also mull over Jolt Family Robot Racer (£4.99), racing party game viewed from a side-on perspective.

Super Meat Boy Game Jolt

A fair amount of Switch games are also due a price drop, including Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime, Nine Parchments, Severed, Stick It to The Man, Thimbleweed Park, and Thumper – a game so demanding that it made us question if our reflexes are deteriorating with age.

Super Meat Boy Game Jolt 2

Next week: Darkest Dungeon, Power Spikes II, ChromaGun, Oh… Sir! The Insult Simulator, Gunhouse, Draw a Stickman Epic 2, Nuclien, and Vesta.
