CDDA is great for when you're trying to game without heavy battery drain.
https://cataclysmdda.org/ it's a procedurally generated survival adventure game.
I love CDDA, but I don't know if I'd call it light on a battery. It won't hammer a GPU, but it actually does use a fair bit of CPU time for the simulation. Also, every time it redraws a frame, it does so via recomputing the world lighting and such, so it's actually surprisingly heavyweight.
