Roguelike

The Best Weird Roguelites at PAX West 2025!

Roguelite is a genre that mixes well with everything, from first person shooters to auto-battlers to skiing with a sword.

Nova Strike has promising vertically-scrolling shmup fundamentals. Unfortunately, its repetitive Roguelike structure magnifies its shortcomings.

30XX is an immensely satisfying and easy-to-pick-up Megaman-like, but victory feels a bit too dependent on random ability upgrades.

Fans of Dead Cells or Rogue Legacy will find familiar fare in Death or Treat, but its delayed Switch port is not up to snuff.

Tears of the Kingdom has broken my gaming brain, so I’m checking out a few recent roguelikes to try to break my addiction.

I really love the moment-to-moment gameplay of the isometric action roguelike Lone Ruin, but a few missies on the bigger picture hold it back.
