A VR sword-fighting roguelike where you parry, dodge and cast magic against waves of enemies. Each death sends you back to start, while upgrades let you shape your own combat style.

One Step From Eden

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A real-time roguelike deckbuilder where you dodge enemy attacks on a small grid while casting spells from your deck. You combine artifacts and spells into powerful builds, with optional co-op.

Loot River

Challenging difficulty

You fight through procedurally generated labyrinths where you shift floating blocks across a river, shoving enemies into the abyss. Tough, Souls-inspired combat with dodging and parrying meets a dark roguelike loop.

Brigador

Action-packed real-time combat

An isometric vehicle shooter set in fully destructible cities, where you pilot mechs, tanks and other war machines. Its tough, tactical gameplay, grim retro-inspired look and large variety of vehicles and weapons set it apart.

OTXO

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A brutal top-down roguelite shooter where you slow time to blast and brawl through a mansion full of enemies. Fast runs, precise aiming and a stylish, dark look define it.

Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A blistering PlatinumGames hack-and-slash where cyborg ninja Raiden parries and freely slices enemies apart with Blade Mode. Over-the-top boss fights and a legendary metal soundtrack make it a cult classic.

20 Minutes Till Dawn

Strong character progression

A tight survivors-style roguelite where you aim and shoot manually against swelling hordes of Lovecraftian horrors. Short 20-minute runs and synergistic upgrades let you craft absurdly powerful builds.

Cryptark

Action-packed real-time combat

A 2D roguelike shooter where you board procedurally generated alien starships, take down their systems methodically, and use the profits to upgrade your gear. Planning and loadout choices matter, since failure costs your investment.
