Godot Games: 9 Well-Known Games Made With Godot
Godot games are games built with the Godot Engine, a free and open-source engine for 2D and 3D. Well-known examples include Brotato, Dome Keeper, Cassette Beasts, Buckshot Roulette, Halls of Torment, Cruelty Squad and Until Then, and Mega Crit is making Slay the Spire 2 in Godot. To find more, browse the showcase on the Godot website and filter itch.io by “Made with Godot”.
Why is it hard to find games made with Godot?
Store pages don’t say which engine a game uses. Steam has tags for genres and features, not engines, and there is no splash screen rule that forces a game to show Godot’s logo. So if you liked one Godot game and want to see what else the engine can do, or you’re a developer deciding whether Godot can carry a commercial game, you have to know where to look.
Which well-known games are made with Godot?
| Game | Genre | What it shows about Godot |
|---|---|---|
| Brotato | Arena roguelite | Hundreds of enemies on screen in 2D |
| Dome Keeper | Mining roguelite | A tight two-phase loop: dig, then defend |
| Cassette Beasts | Open-world monster RPG | A large 3D world with pixel-art characters |
| Buckshot Roulette | Tense 3D tabletop game | Atmosphere and lighting from a small team |
| Halls of Torment | Horde survival | A retro look and heavy enemy counts |
| Cruelty Squad | Immersive sim | A deliberately strange 3D style |
| Until Then | Narrative adventure | Hand-drawn 2D scenes and story |
| Slay the Spire 2 | Deckbuilding roguelike | Mega Crit moved the sequel to Godot |
| Delvestead | Cozy idle roguelite | Top-down pixel art, playable in the browser |
Check each game’s store page for the platforms it runs on today, since ports and updates change them.
Where can you find more Godot games?
- The Godot showcase. The official site, godotengine.org, keeps a showcase of commercial games made with the engine, with links to their stores.
- itch.io. Filter browse pages by “Made with Godot”. Most game jam entries are there, and many play in the browser.
- SteamDB. It detects the engine for many Steam games, so you can list Steam releases built with Godot.
- Game jams. Godot is common in jams like the GMTK Game Jam and Ludum Dare, where small, odd and free games show up first.
How can you tell if a game is made with Godot?
Start with the credits or the store page: many developers mention Godot there or in their devlogs. On PC, a game folder with a .pck file next to the executable is a strong sign of a Godot export. On the web, Godot games usually load through a page with a .wasm file and a .pck data file.
Why do indie developers pick Godot?
- Free and open source. The MIT license means no fees and no revenue share, whatever the game earns.
- Small and quick to open. The editor is a small download and starts fast.
- One project, many platforms. The same project exports to Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iOS and the web.
- Good at 2D. Godot has a dedicated 2D engine with pixel-based coordinates, which suits pixel-art games.
That last point is why we picked it for Delvestead.
What is Delvestead?
Delvestead is a free cozy idle roguelite dungeon crawler in top-down pixel art, made in Godot 4. You pack a loadout of tools, armor, food and potions, and your hero explores procedurally generated levels on their own: fighting, mining ore, chopping trees, hunting and gathering. A run is cycles of three day and three night levels, and loot is banked only when the third night ends. Back home you build stations in a log cabin, craft gear, cook, brew and farm.
The same Godot project runs in the browser and as a download for Mac and Windows, and a free account keeps your characters in sync across them; the cloud saves post explains how. If you are new, the beginner guide covers your first runs, and the cozy games for Mac list has more to play next.
