Games like Hoplite

2013PC

You move one tile at a time and hold back waves of enemies with spear and shield, where every step has to be planned. Each run is procedurally generated and death resets you, turning it into a sharp tactical puzzler with a Greek flavour.

Ironcast

Runs that play out differently every time

Ironcast blends match-3 puzzle boards with turn-based steampunk mech battles in an alternate Victorian era. Each turn is about managing resources, and roguelite runs keep the challenge fresh.

Runestone Keeper

Runs that play out differently every time

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.

Desktop Dungeons: Rewind

Runs that play out differently every time

A compact tactical roguelike where every short dungeon run plays like a puzzle: exploration, fights, spells and pacts with gods must be carefully balanced. This remake adds new content and a rewind feature to soften the sting of mistakes.

SanctuaryRPG

Runs that play out differently every time

You crawl through dungeons in a retro ASCII world, fighting turn by turn with a humorous, tactical edge drawn from roguelikes and JRPGs. Its appeal lies in careful strategy and a deliberately old-school presentation, though my knowledge of this title is limited.

Bad North

Challenging difficulty

A minimalist real-time tactics game where you defend small islands against Viking raids with a few squads. Charming low-poly visuals and simple controls meet surprisingly deep combat and roguelite runs.

868-Hack

Runs that play out differently every time

You slip through locked digital sectors as a hacker, cracking data with siphons and fighting with progs in tense turn-based runs. Every run is a risky dash for the exit, because getting caught means permanent deletion.

Aztez

Historical setting

In Aztez you grow the Aztec empire through turn-based strategy on the map and put down uprisings in fast real-time brawls. Because every run unfolds differently, each playthrough brings new events, challenges and rewards.

Shogun Showdown

Runs that play out differently every time

A turn-based tactical roguelike set in feudal Japan where you manage positioning, attack order and upgradeable ability tiles on a narrow lane. Every turn feels like a small puzzle, and strong combos decide whether you reach the Shogun.
