Not sure about ugly, but Stardew Valley's graphics are pretty basic. Great game though.

EverQuest.
Deadly premonitions, everything about it is jank but I love it
From the games I can recall, Anuto TD (Another Ugly Tower Defense).
I cannot say whether or not it would get attention because of the graphic quality, but I know there are plenty of people who wouldn't play it since it is not 8k super ultra 3D high def masterwork quality graphics and would gladly shit on it because it doesn't have the most realistic graphics out there.
Some people find Slay the Spire's art ugly. Personally I find it creative and original, definitely more personality than if it was just another pixel art game. 😁
I don't find Slay The Spire that ugly artwise, I don't find it beautiful... but what I do find ugly is how terribly Slay The Spire uses screen space. It has an AWFUL UI in terms of using space intelligently for important bits of gameplay information and I would love to play it on mobile (I play other deckbuilders on mobile a lot) but I will never touch it on mobile for that reason.
Really? Why do you say so? I always found it pretty usable, in mobile some buttons being so near the edges can be pretty uncomfortable tho.
I remembered thinking teleglitch was absolutely fascinating a while back. Not exactly a pretty game but it's not ugly either, the chromatic aberration effects on collisions is real pretty imo, even if the underlying art is rather spartan
Card Quest (Android) has similar dated graphics, but I got kinda into it lately. It's a card-based roguelike, with a fixed deck that only changes with inventory/skill changes.
Thanks for the recommendation! Spent this evening playing it, and it's everything I was hoping Slay the Spire would be. Slay the Spire is still great, of course, but deckbuilding has always been my least favorite part of card games.
You're welcome, glad that someone enjoyed my suggestion!
Yeah with Slay the Spire there is often some slight feeling of "I lost because I didn't get any good cards", but in this game I more often feel like I died because I messed up my resource management and priorities haha (still haven't beat it once yet...)
I haven't seen anyone mention it yet so... Golden Light!
A creepy, funny, challenging, confusing, silly mess if a roguelite. Art looks almost PS1-esque. It's gorgeous in an ugly way!
Ravenfield is ugly but fun
Imbroglio (https://apps.apple.com/us/app/imbroglio/id969264934) is one of my favorite minimal purchase iOS games. I haven’t played it in awhile, but it’s a unique dungeon puzzle game where you place attacks as floor tiles on the board ahead of playing. There’s some consistent rules with ramping challenge, which made it super replayable for me. I loved trying different floor designs, finding strategies, and there’s a small progression system that’s fun. Hasn’t been updated in a few years, but it was a great design despite the rough appearance.
Valheim! The graphics may look like a PS2/XBOX Game, but it is very fun.

Jump Ultimate Stars, not everyone is fan of the sprites 🫤
To be fair I have seen better, but they have their charm.

TagPro - minimalist graphics, straightforward gameplay and an insanely high skill ceiling. So good it was banned from AskTheBadWebsite because it was always the top answer for every question regarding good webgames etc.
