Roblox has evolved tremendously over the years, starting out as a wacky, LEGO-esque sandbox game and now having thousands of impressive, community-made games that rival big indie releases. While there are plenty of premium games locked behind Roblox's digital currency, there are plenty of free Roblox games that offer just as much fun. This article will introduce players to some of the best free games Roblox has to offer.
Roblox was released in 2006 as a free-to-play game creation and hosting platform. The game has maintained its relevance since release, but it wasn't until much later that it became the gaming craze it is today. While likened to Minecraft and other sandbox building games, Roblox is primarily used to host community-made games instead of offering a base experience. This makes Roblox a very user-focused experience because, without its users, there would be no games.
Creators can make money from their Roblox games, selling them for Robux or offering in-game purchases, such as digital currency or cosmetic items. However, there are plenty of free games that don't require any purchases to enjoy. Here are four free Roblox games that are just as good as paid ones.
Robot 64 - Roblox's Free Version Of Super Mario
Robot 64 is a 3D platformer created by zKevin that takes inspiration from Super Mario 64. Players control a robot named Beebo in search of ice cream cones they can use to unlock different worlds. The levels feel like they were ripped straight out of a classic Nintendo 64 game, and the writing is witty and funny. Players will meet plenty of interesting characters along the way, helping them complete fun and wacky side quests in return for ice cream. On top of charming levels, players can unlock new cosmetic items by collecting coins. Each level is roughly the size of a world from Super Mario 64, and players can freely explore and collect ice cream cones like Power Moons in Super Mario Odyssey. Players can use unique power-ups like skateboards and jetpacks, and Beebo's moveset allows him to run on walls, backflip, and spin like a helicopter to get around each environment.
Super Cube Cavern - Randomly Generated Roblox
Super Cube Cavern by Bribbleco is a well-developed dungeon crawler game with randomly generated dungeons, ensuring players will never visit the same one twice. These dungeons aren't too expansive, however, and even though the landscapes are different, they all feel familiar. Super Cube Cavern has a crafting system players can use to combine components found in each dungeon to create unique weapons and armor to help them. At the bottom of each dungeon, players face different bosses, which each have their own attack patterns and feel like well-designed boss fights from hit indie games. The game does get harder the further players delve into each new dungeon, but it also rewards them with more valuable gear and crafting materials. Super Cube Cavern may not be as robust as other dungeon crawlers, but it does provide an experience that feels outside the realm of what should be possible in Roblox.
Energy Assault - Roblox's Fast-Paced FPS
Roblox has a number of first-person shooters that often feel clunky or too complex, but Energy Assault by Typical Games solves these issues by providing a smooth FPS that's easy to pick up for players of all skill levels. It offers fun, fast-paced gameplay players can jump in and out of with ease. There are a variety of maps and game modes to keep gameplay fresh and interesting. Players earn in-game currency based on their performance in each match, which they can use to unlock new weapons and customize four different loadouts to switch between in the heat of battle. Players can also unlock cosmetics and attachments for their weapons by completing certain objectives with a specific weapon. Mainly, Energy Assault doesn't feel like it's trying to be something else. It's not another Roblox Fortnite clone or a mind-numbing battle royale. Energy Assault is a bare-bones, run-and-gun FPS that's extremely satisfying.
Super Golf! - Roblox Golf Game
Super Golf! from Nosniy Games is a golf sim that rivals even the best golf video games. This third-person golf game puts players behind the ball, and it's super simple for new players to understand. Playing with friends is also a hoot, but the highly active servers and friendly community make it easy for players to hop on for a round or two at any time. Many courses with unique hazards keep Super Golf! interesting for a few hours at a time. There are also a ton of wacky cosmetics players can unlock with in-game currency, which they accumulate based on how well they perform each round and how well they perform from hole to hole. For those itching to play a round of mini-golf, Super Golf! is an ambitious and free Roblox golf simulator that is very fun to play.
While only a few of the amazing games Roblox has to offer, these games will provide lots of free fun to fans of all genres. Of course, there are plenty of niche simulators and role-playing servers for players interested in meeting other Roblox gamers, but the different communities in each server make it difficult to put those on a list like this one. The best place to look for other games like these is the recommended games section on each game's page. Players can also get more involved in a particular game's community in order to find new free-to-play Roblox games.
