Defend the Rook

Runs that play out differently every time

A turn-based tactics roguelike that blends tower defense with board-style combat: you place towers and units to hold off waves of invaders. Every turn rewards careful planning rather than reflexes.

Niche: A Genetics Survival Game

Tactical depth

You breed your own animal species on a hex-based map, steering its evolution through genetics, mutations and inheritance while predators, disease and climate change threaten the population. Turn-based strategy with a roguelike structure and an educational core.

Necrosmith

Pixel art

As a necromancer you stitch together undead minions from mixed body parts and races, upgrade your tower, and send your clumsy army against hordes and the 'chosen ones'. Experimenting with body part combinations is the heart of the fun.

Peglin

Runs that play out differently every time

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

Runs that play out differently every time

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.

Rogue Summoner

Pixel art

You summon the monsters you meet and send them to fight for you in turn-based tactical battles. Delving through randomized dungeons, you gradually assemble a powerful roster of creatures.

Dungeons of Dredmor

Runs that play out differently every time

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.

Rift Wizard

Runs that play out differently every time

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.
