What are your favorite "ugly" games?
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"?

Would Cruelty Squad be cheating?
Wow that art style is... something
It's like... 2001 shareware shitpost flavored.
There's another one with a similar kinda vibe (the vibe being "shitpost but it's a video game") called Slayers X: Terminal Aftermath: Vengence of the Slayer. I haven't played it but it looks great. Er... Gameplay wise anyway lol.
Looks like its going for a vibe similar to the original Doom! That trailer on the steam page was amazing.
Yeah. A lot of the UI seems to be intentionally bad. It's actually a pretty hard game. A good example is reloading. You do this by holding right click, moving the mouse down then up and letting go of right click. I think the visual parts of the experience speak for themselves from the screenshots but my point is that even a lot of other stuff in the game is just wack.
Seconding this; Cruelty Squad is hitting that Deus Ex/Quake itch for me right now
