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”?

Dwarf fortress and RimWorld are both… Pretty ugly

Yeah especially Dwarf Fortress. The gameplay:graphics ratio is over 9000

That’s improved now, though, with the steam release. Before the Steam release I exclusively played DF with Ascii graphics. Honestly, I thought it was pretty.

I LIKE ASCII graphics done well. It tried playing the version of Stone Soup that uses tiles and couldn’t do it.

It does have a certain charm. I never really played that much tbh, my favorite part was reading the sagas of fortresses on the forums. Those were always so unpredictable and hilarious.
