Runs that play out differently every time

A tough 2D platformer where every death passes the sword to an heir with random, often silly traits like colorblindness or gigantism, who then storms the shifting castle again. Gold you collect upgrades the family manor for good, so each generation gets a little stronger.

Rogue Legacy 2

Runs that play out differently every time

A fast roguelite platformer where you play through generations of a hero family, each heir with unique traits and classes. Permanent manor upgrades make every death feed into a stronger next run.

Dungreed

Rising Hell

Runs that play out differently every time

A vertical action roguelike platformer in pixel art with a heavy-metal attitude, where you climb out of procedurally generated hell as the sinner Arok. Unlockable characters and talents keep each run fresh.

Vagante

Runs that play out differently every time

A pixel-art roguelike platformer with permadeath and procedurally generated dungeons, where you mix classes, gear and spells. The co-op mode with friends is a big part of the appeal.

Summum Aeterna

Runs that play out differently every time
