We somehow forgot to mention Mount & Blade
Two free down the rabbit hole options:
Cataclysm DDA: ascii (or tiles) zombie horror survival RPG with extensive character customization and neat mechanics. Has a nice sci-fi spin to the genre. It's very similar to Fallout 1/2 in ways. My last character was a fireaxe wielding drug-addict cyborg that had schizophrenic hallucinations and eventually died to a grenade launcher wielding zombie. Project Zomboid is based off of this game if I'm not mistaken.
And Dwarf Fortress of course. It's Rimworld on crack and Adderall. Simulate a world's entire history and then join in. Be sure to dig too greedily and too deep.

They Bleed Pixels. Happens to be 1.99 right now on steam, normally $10. Love the atmosphere of this one.

Throwing in a plug for UnReal World it's a roguelike game set in a low fantasy world, modeled after what is now Finland during the iron age. It has a pretty realistic feel to it, for example there are no coins and if you want to trade, you have to barter goods. It takes a while to figure out how to play but I had a lot of fun with it.
Heres a shot of my character as he managed to sneak within a few meters of a hawk.

will you take the "under $20" off, I realize now that there are a lot of very awesome indie games that go up to 40 bucks, games that wreck 60 dollar AAA assholes, thxI mainly put the $20 on there because there are so many high quality games that are less, but might as well catch all the greats in here

World of Goo. I'm not a big puzzle fan, but this one is just amazing. And the music is outstanding.

Child of Light may not be an indie game technically since it's published by Ubisoft oddly enough. But it certainly fits what you would expect from one. It's also 4.49 on ps store right now and is really good.
Cosmic Star heroine is the only Indie game i have that i don't see mentioned so far. It trys very hard to be a 16 bit rpg so if you liked those SNES rpgs you might wanna give it a try.
