Crown Trick

Tactical depth

A turn-based roguelike where enemies only act when you move, turning every step into a tactical puzzle through procedurally generated dungeons. It has a hand-drawn look and plenty of spell and crown build combinations.

Peglin

Pixel art

A roguelike where you play a little goblin launching orbs through a pachinko-style board of pegs to damage enemies. Randomized relics and orb combinations make every run different and reward smart aiming.

Rack and Slay

Build variety

A turn-based roguelike where you play as a billiard ball, knocking monster balls into holes and traps. Stackable items let you craft powerful synergies across runs.

Rift Wizard

Tactical depth

In Rift Wizard you assemble your own spellbook from more than a hundred spells and fight through procedurally generated turn-based challenges. Every death sends you back to the start, so each run becomes a fresh tactical puzzle.

Backpack Hero

Build variety

A roguelike where packing your backpack is the puzzle: item placement, adjacency and synergies determine your offense and defense in turn-based fights. Each run brings new builds and routing decisions across the map.

Rogue Fable III

Tactical depth

A traditional turn-based fantasy roguelike with deep tactical decisions and high difficulty. Runs are shorter and more focused than in the genre's classics, with plenty of class and skill choices.

Dungeons of Dredmor

Build variety

A humorous turn-based roguelike with randomly generated dungeons, where you mix skills from a huge skill tree to craft your own builds. Quirky monsters, items and references keep it funny, while hunger, traps and permadeath keep it challenging.

Runestone Keeper

Pixel art

A turn-based roguelike dungeon crawler where you fight monsters on a grid, collect gear, and make smart use of runes, shrines and traps. Runs are random and punishing, so careful planning matters.
