A roguelike auto-shooter where you island-hop through huge hordes of blobs, beat bosses, and stack items into chaotic, overpowered combos.

Sol Cesto

Challenging difficulty

Sol Cesto is a tactical roguelite where you pick a hero and descend through a randomized dungeon. You must manage luck wisely, as every action carries consequences.

Rogue

Challenging difficulty

The original roguelike: you fight turn by turn through randomly generated dungeons drawn in ASCII characters, where death is permanent and every run plays out differently.

Rift Wizard

Runs that play out differently every time

In Rift Wizard you assemble your own spellbook from more than a hundred spells and fight through procedurally generated turn-based challenges. Every death sends you back to the start, so each run becomes a fresh tactical puzzle.

Runestone Keeper

Runs that play out differently every time

A turn-based roguelike dungeon crawler where you fight monsters on a grid, collect gear, and make smart use of runes, shrines and traps. Runs are random and punishing, so careful planning matters.

Deified

Runs that play out differently every time

A turn-based tactical roguelite where you build your strategy around powerful relics, balance slot constraints, and take on formidable bosses.

The Rookery

Runs that play out differently every time

A turn-based chess-inspired roguelike where you strengthen your army with boosts, relics and consumables to beat tough bosses. Chess-like tactics combined with run-based build crafting create strong tactical depth.

868-Hack

Challenging difficulty

You slip through locked digital sectors as a hacker, cracking data with siphons and fighting with progs in tense turn-based runs. Every run is a risky dash for the exit, because getting caught means permanent deletion.
