Risk of Rain 2

Build variety

A frantic 3D roguelike shooter where random items stack into absurdly powerful builds while the difficulty relentlessly ramps up over time. Fight across a hostile alien planet solo or with up to three friends in co-op.

Witchfire

Runs that play out differently every time

A dark fantasy first-person shooter where you hunt witches in repeated expeditions, mixing guns and spells and growing permanently stronger after each death. The gunplay is fast and unforgiving, and the visuals are striking.

Everspace

Runs that play out differently every time

Dead Space 2

The Callisto Protocol

Dread and tension

A brutal sci-fi survival horror set in a prison on a moon of Jupiter, where you play convict Jacob Lee fighting mutated inmates with melee, dodging and scarce ammo. Its grim, cinematic presentation and graphic gore define the experience.

Scars Above

Sci-fi setting

A challenging sci-fi third-person action game where you play a scientist stranded on an alien planet, fighting monsters with elemental weapons and solving puzzles. Its checkpoint-based difficulty echoes soulslikes, while a mystery story drives you onward.

Picayune Dreams

Build variety

A space-set roguelite that blends horde survival with bullet-hell action as you fend off thousands of nightmarish creatures. You experiment with different builds and grow stronger through meta progression between runs.

Moros Protocol

Sci-fi setting

A stylized, pixel-painted first-person roguelike shooter that blends the feel of early action-adventures with fresh mechanics. You fight through a dark sci-fi world of monsters while confronting your own past.
