  • flare-game

    Fantasy action RPG using the FLARE engine

    I'm a big fan of Flare, and it was a sleeper hit for me because I didn't grow up with games like Diablo. It's open-source, and while it has a pretty short campaign in the vanilla version, it has a lot of fan-made campaigns and mods. It's not the most engaging game I've played, but it's fun to zone out to while listening to podcasts.
