What are your favorite "ugly" games? (lemmy.ml)

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"?

West of Loathing and its sequel Shadows of Loathing have a bland grayscale artstyle on the outside but they're absolutely hilarious RPGs that have a lot of heart to them.

The loathing series is an absolute gem

Man I played their browser game way back when, the humor was pretty funny, but I haven't been able to make time to consider trying their console games.

You should give it a shot, it's pretty fun and West of Loathing isn't that long to finish.
