Any other Open World Roguelike Survival games?
So this game made me realize how much I NEED an Open World Roguelike game with a big focus on wilderness survival.

Anyone got any leads for me?

I can't remember if there's much survival to it, outside of the regular old 'try not to die' aspect, but check out Caves of Qud.

Ragnarok. It's a game from 1992, so good luck finding it, I guess :/
But 'wilderness survival', in the traditional manner + Norse-inspired setting + crazy roguelike mechanics (like growing extra limbs and abilities, eating corpses to gain their powers, transforming yourself into an entirely different creature, wiping an entire creature type with 'blessed scroll of extinction' etc).

That game was decades ahead of its time.

Try UnReal World. Despite the name, it is a really realistic game set in Skandinavia iirc at the early beginnings of the Iron Age.

It is completely F2P, alas you can buy a version which gives you somewhat earlier access to new builds and supports the dev.

It's a completely open sandbox where your first, and for quite a while hardest goal will be - surviving. Hunger, Sleep, Thirst, Cold, Warmth - all these things play a role. Combat is absolutely brutal, and there are about a gazillion ways to get things done.

Great game if you want wilderness survival.

Unreal World, CDDA. Both are free.

I also HIGHLY recommend Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead (CDDA). Free to play, and a total blast. It's open source, so fans are constantly adding new content to the 'experimental build' that you can download any time, which gets rolled over into the latest stable version (they seem to push one out per year.)

If you haven't heard about CDDA, it's a turn based, proceeduraly generated RPG where you try to survive the end of the world via zombie apocolypse (with some other monsters running around). It has a TON of systems, everything from building, to crafting, to modifying, to finding a vehicle that works and then modifying it into everything from a mobile base to death mobile. It even has an integrated martial arts system, where your character can learn martial arts that give you special moves in melee combat based off your character's skill levels.

Unreal World is also a lot of fun, not as in depth as Cataclysm, but still a blast.

Cataclysm: DDA is a very crazy game and highly recommended. You won't find a better open-world roguelike, but be prepared for a steep learning curve. It's not for the faint of heart.

not rogue like but Battle Brothers is really good.

I went into the steam labs and used the search system with the tags "roguelike" and "open world and craft". This popped up. I haven't ever played it but it has good reviews.

Wayward comes immediately to mind as a rougelike wilderness survival game. I don't think it classifies as open world, though.

Thanks for all the answers, sadly I already knew about all those.

UnReal World is probably closest to what I am searching for but it always feels like i am struggling more with controls and just not knowing whats possible and what not. Also the games UI gives me a headache. Seriously, Ragnarok has a better UI and thats saying something.
