Painted Peril follows a magical squirrel as they mix paint colors to defeat living rock monsters in a procedurally generated cave system. The power of color can brighten up a world, but creating ammo based on color and then changing the color of the monsters that you are trying to attack can create a chaotic […]
Dungeon Clawler needs you to get some lucky pulls from a sword- and shield-filled claw machine if you’re to survive its dungeons. As someone who rarely has any luck at playing claw machines, I was wondering exactly how quickly I’d be killed playing this game. In this roguelike deckbuilder (claw machine filler?), you will start […]
Death plays a strange role in videogames. You’re always trying to avoid it, but at the same time, it’s basically inconsequential. You might lose a bit of progress, but mostly, it just means hitting quickload (and maybe deploying a few cuss words). Dark Souls, Elden Ring, and the rest of the FromSoftware oeuvre frame death […]

While it’s only in early access, The Rogue Prince of Persia is already proving that it’s worthy of joining the ranks of the best roguelikes, along with Rogue Legacy 2, Spelunky 2, Downwell, and of course its developer’s previous title, Dead Cells. It hasn’t stood still for a moment since it launched back in May […]

Golf is a boring, silly sport that primarily seems to be made up of men drinking on a big bit of grass. However, Golfie isn’t your average, traditional golf game. This is a run-based […]

But instead of forcing me to pootle around the stars myself, it lets me jump from location to location, engaging in interesting decision making and tactical combat […]
Precisely one year since its early access launch, spell-fusing roguelike Magicraft has launched version 1.0 on Steam, and it’s fast proving to be a winner. It takes the bullet hell style of games like The Binding of Isaac and Enter the Gungeon and introduces a clever spellcrafting system reminiscent of Noita to allow you to […]
I played an hour of Sworn at Gamescom, and I didn’t want to put it down. Of all the many new roguelike games following in the powerful footsteps of Supergiant’s Hades, the Arthurian spin on the format from Windwalk Games and Team17 is one of the closest to its inspiration mechanically. Yet that’s certainly no […]
When you’re in the middle of a battle and you see a comrade fall to the floor, it’s devastating. Not only is that your friend lying there, but your chances of defeating your foe dramatically drop off. In Windblown, the new action roguelike from the team behind Dead Cells, that moment crops up frequently but […]
