ScourgeBringer

Melee combat with weapons or fists

A blisteringly fast roguelite action platformer where Kyhra chains sword combos, dashes and gunfire through procedurally built machine ruins. Fluid movement and demanding combat are the heart of the game.

Rogue Legacy

Melee combat with weapons or fists

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.

Dungreed

Loot and gear

Dungreed blends fast 2D side-scrolling action with roguelite runs. You fight through a constantly changing dungeon, collecting weapons, spells and food to take on the evil lurking below.

Rogue Legacy 2

Build variety

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.

Rising Hell

Melee combat with weapons or fists

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.

Downwell

Jumping and platforming

You plummet down a well with gun boots, blasting enemies while collecting gems. This minimalist roguelike thrives on fast reflexes, precise air control, and a striking limited-palette look.

Risk of Rain

Build variety

A 2D pixel-art roguelike platformer where you grow stronger on an alien planet by stacking random items while the difficulty keeps climbing over time. Playable solo or with up to three friends, each run feels different thanks to chaotic item combinations.

Blasphemous

Melee combat with weapons or fists

A brutal Metroidvania in gorgeous pixel art that twists Spanish Catholic iconography into a nightmarish world of guilt and penance. Tight parries, gory executions and plenty of hidden secrets define the Penitent One's journey.
