Hey guys! I have a question for all of you. Do you know some games which are accessable for visual impaired people I could play with my friends or alone? I don't care about the genre, I just want some recommendation.

Yep, the database at Audiogames.net and the one in the app directory at applevis.com are both really good.

When you say friends, do you mean other blind friends or sighted ones. Also, are you comfortable with a screen reader, and what kinds of games do you prefer?

Knowing if you are willing to pay for games would help too. That way I can give you some quick recommendations to start with.

thanks for your long reply! I mean both kind of friends so the sight ones as well. I wouldn't mind to pay for the games and yes, i am comfortable with screen readers. I would like to try out new genres as well but I really like adventure, action, fantasy or strategy games. ^^

Okay so for adventure/fantasy I would suggest the PC game "a Hero's Call" from out of site games.

If you have a smartphone, also try "A Blind Legend" by Dowino. You can play on the computer too but it's more expensive.

Or "Untold RPG" by Gotterdammerung. A text game with sounds and music.

For a great online action game for PC, try "Crazy Party" by Pragma.

Another good one, an Online zombie FPS, would be "Swamp" by Aprone.

"Audio Wizards" by MyTrueSound, is a great action game for mobile. Also available on PC through Steam, but you may want to leave Steam for a later time as setting it up can be a bit involved.

Another one would be "feer" by Hansjoerg Mikesch.

https://itunes.apple.com/app/id1422421760
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.mentalhome.feer


My first choice for a strategy game for a newer player on PC would be "Dragon Village" by Rocky Waters.

https://audiogames.net/db.php?id=Dragon+village

We also have "Sound RTS" by Soundmud. Which is basically exactly what it sounds like.

https://audiogames.net/db.php?id=SoundRTS


On mobile, try the text based empire building strategy game "Night Commander" by John Sturt. It's got sounds and music as well.

https://apps.apple.com/us/app/knight-commander/id1386064178

As well as the text based RTS game "A few minutes of glory" by James Senter.

https://apps.apple.com/us/app/a-few-minutes-of-glory/id1447578204


Obviously there are allot more games, but these are all pretty good starters I think.

Try www.audio games.net there are a lot of games there for people who are blind or have low vision. Also the forums are very good there.
