New survey! So far we've talked about card games, visual novels and hidden gems. Folks have added great games in the shares and comments sections. Eventually, I'd love to start compiling some of these into some posts highlighting some lesser-known gems.
Here's a new informal survey for you all: what are some indie games you love that have roguelike (or roguelite) elements? Which ones use permadeath, procedural generation, or run-based structures in interesting ways?
There's a lot out there these days. Curious to see which ones people feel are cream of the crop, or just do something bizarrely interesting.
What counts as a "roguelike"? Great question! Whatever you think makes the cut on that, we can all be a little loose with it.
Lots of great roguelikes/roguelites in the comments section! Here's a couple that people recommended...
Dream Quest
Slay the Spire
Enter the Gungeon
Into the Breach
Slice and Dice
Rogue Legacy
Noita
Desktop Dungeons
Monolith
Brogue
Dicey Dungeons
Path of Archra
Any others that you've found really interesting, or got their hooks in you?
Hades
Dead Cells
Pokemon Rogue Emerald
ive got hundreds of hours in each of these
Shoutouts to dream quest, the guy who made that ended up making the surprisingly good single player content for hearthstone
Ps: Also shout outs to Monster Train. it’s not my fave but everytime someone tries to have different lanes in card games you have to give them props. In this one, the lanes are vertical !
