Iratus: Lord of the Dead

Runs that play out differently every time

You play an evil necromancer breaking out of his dungeon prison, commanding a horde of undead in tough turn-based battles. It mixes roguelike runs with a grim comic-style look and plenty of tactical positioning and resource planning.

Brutal Orchestra

Turn-based combat

A turn-based roguelike set in Purgatory where you lead a motley crew through tactical, position-based fights in pursuit of petty revenge. Dark humor and a quirky hand-drawn look define the experience.

Vambrace: Cold Soul

Runs that play out differently every time

A grim fantasy roguelike with turn-based combat set in a frozen cursed city. You lead a party of heroes on expeditions where cold, scarce resources and tough decisions decide who survives.

The Last Spell

Turn-based combat

You defend humanity's last city: at night you fight monster hordes in turn-based tactical combat, by day you fortify defenses and gear up your heroes. The roguelite structure makes every run a fresh set of build and positioning decisions.

Netherguild

Runs that play out differently every time

A turn-based tactical roguelite where you lead expeditions underground to find a cure for a strange plague. You balance exploring, camping and fighting against knowing when to retreat and resupply.

Massive Chalice

Tactical depth

As an immortal ruler you guide a dynasty of heroes across centuries, arranging marriages, training heirs and sending them into turn-based tactical battles against demonic invaders. The appeal lies in generational management where fallen heroes are permanently lost.

Fear & Hunger

Dread and tension

A brutal, bleak turn-based horror RPG set in a deadly dungeon where scarce resources, limb-severing combat and many hidden paths make every decision risky. Survivors uncover disturbing secrets and multiple endings.

Othercide

Dark, serious atmosphere

Othercide is a grim turn-based tactics game where you lead a squad of female warriors against nightmarish creatures. Its striking black, white and red art style and unforgiving structure, where fallen fighters are lost for good, define the experience.

Battle Brothers

Tactical depth

You lead a mercenary company through a gritty, procedurally generated medieval world, juggling contracts, gear and recruits. The turn-based battles are brutal, and losing your men is part of the experience.
