Looking for some game suggestions - Terrariaesque, Shadowrunnerish, X-Comish

[Arkitech]

So I'm looking for some games to play similar to the ones in the title. I'm a HUGE fan of Terraria and I'm looking for something similar to it until Starbound is released. I love the 2d crafting, exploring and fighting type of theme.

I also would like to find a game kind of with the old school appeal of Shadowrun, with isometric visuals in a scifi setting as opposed to the medieval theme.

Anything similar to the classic X-Com game would also be cool. Love those kind of strategy games.

I don't care about graphics, in fact the more outdated the better. I work from home and I like to play low impact games while I'm going through my tasks.

The new XCOM is pretty good. I really enjoy Fallen Enchantress and Tropico 4 as strategy games as well. (Fallen Enchantress is a 4X fantasy game similar to Master of Magic, while Tropico 4 is a island simulator similar to Sim City.)

I have not seen a 2D action and building game like Terraria, other than Terraria itself though.

I wish I could call Roger Goodell the "ex-comish"...

You might like Spelunky if you haven't already tried it. Also, keep an eye on darkout or maybe even try the beta, it seems terrarialike.
