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.
