Rogue Legacy

Runs that play out differently every time

A tough 2D platformer where every death passes the sword to an heir with random, often silly traits like colorblindness or gigantism, who then storms the shifting castle again. Gold you collect upgrades the family manor for good, so each generation gets a little stronger.

Dungreed

Runs that play out differently every time

Dungreed blends fast 2D side-scrolling action with roguelite runs. You fight through a constantly changing dungeon, collecting weapons, spells and food to take on the evil lurking below.

Summum Aeterna

Runs that play out differently every time

A fast-paced roguelite platformer spun off from Aeterna Noctis, with every run reshaping the world and its challenges. Precise jumping and combat meet punishing difficulty and a die-learn-improve loop.

Rogue Legacy 2

Runs that play out differently every time

A fast roguelite platformer where you play through generations of a hero family, each heir with unique traits and classes. Permanent manor upgrades make every death feed into a stronger next run.

Vagante

Runs that play out differently every time

A pixel-art roguelike platformer with permadeath and procedurally generated dungeons, where you mix classes, gear and spells. The co-op mode with friends is a big part of the appeal.

Caveblazers

Runs that play out differently every time

A brutal pixel-art roguelike platformer where you fight through procedurally generated caves full of orcs and goblins, collecting weapons and magic items and dying often in gory ways.

Astral Ascent

Runs that play out differently every time

A fast-paced 2D action roguelite where you pick one of four heroes and take on the twelve Zodiac bosses. Quick combat, plenty of spells and allies keep each run varied.

Flame Keeper

Runs that play out differently every time

A fast-paced action rogue-lite with responsive combat, where you cross varied lands, fight enemies and collect energy to keep a flame alive. Its stylized look and platforming elements give the genre its own twist.
