Grim Nights
Dig, build and train by day, then hold your village against the undead every night.
If Craft Hero left you wanting something retro and replayable, you have options. These games are worth a look next.
You suddenly enter a whole new world empty-handed. Start a whole new adventure all your own. Farming, fishing, building, cooking, alchemy and living a quiet life. Or is it fighting monsters, learning skills, building equipment and discovering the world's hidden secrets? Or maybe I want them all.

Play solo or with friends, tune the rules to your taste, and craft gear that fits exactly how you like to fight.
