Hoplite

Challenging difficulty

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.

Shogun Showdown

Distinctive, stylised art style

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.

Into the Breach

A party of several characters

Compact turn-based tactics where three mechs defend cities from giant kaiju-like aliens. Every enemy attack is telegraphed in advance, so each turn plays like a tightly designed chess puzzle with roguelike runs and time-travel resets.

Kingdom: Classic

Distinctive, stylised art style

A minimalist 2D side-scrolling strategy game where you ride as a monarch, collect coins, recruit subjects and defend your realm at night from greedy creatures. Atmospheric pixel art and a calm rhythm meet subtle pressure.

Master of Command

A party of several characters

You lead regiments through real-time battles in the 18th century, juggling supplies, equipment and casualties. In procedurally generated campaigns, keeping your veteran soldiers alive can matter more than any single victory.

Aztez

Distinctive, stylised art style

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.

FTL: Faster Than Light

A party of several characters

You captain a starship on the run, rerouting power, directing crew and making tough calls in pausable real-time battles. Every run is procedurally generated, brutally tense and often ends in glorious failure.

Nordhold

Challenging difficulty

Nordhold blends tower defense with roguelite runs and base building: you grow a Nordic village, stack synergistic tower upgrades, and hold it against enemy waves on procedurally generated maps.
