Death Must Die

93 %

2023 PCXbox 6.89 € 👍 91 % Very positive, 20,327 reviews on Steam

  • Strong character progression
  • Action-packed real-time combat
  • Fantasy setting

A fast-paced survivors-style roguelite where you hack through hordes in the underworld, stacking god-given powers and items into over-the-top builds to take down Death himself.

Paint the Town Red

Lots of humour

Chaotic first-person brawling in a voxel style: you smash your way through saloons, bars and biker joints with fists, chairs and anything else not nailed down. A roguelike mode adds upgrades and bosses on top.

Immortal Redneck

Lots of humour

A fast-paced first-person roguelike shooter where a redneck blasts through Egyptian pyramids, using god-given blessings against bizarre enemies and huge bosses. The humor is crude and the pace is relentless.

Have a Nice Death

Strong character progression

You play an overworked Death chasing rebellious employees through a nightmarish corporate realm with scythe and spells. Fast 2D roguelite combat, dark humor and a gloomy-yet-playful hand-drawn look define it.

Full Mojo Rampage

Fantasy setting

A fast twin-stick roguelike shooter where you blast through randomly generated arenas using voodoo powers, curses and random upgrades. Its stylized skull-themed look and chaotic pace define the experience.

God Hand

Lots of humour

A gloriously absurd Wild West brawler where you pummel demons and freaks with a customizable moveset and the divine God Hand. Fast dodging, a punishing difficulty curve and bonkers humor make it a cult classic.

Knightmare Tower

Fantasy setting

A frantic arcade action game where a knight slashes upward through tower ceilings, rescues princesses and outruns rising lava. Upgrades bought between runs make each new attempt stronger.

Mexican Ninja

Lots of humour

A fast-paced 2.5D retro arcade beat 'em up with roguelike runs, where you slash through the streets of Nuevo Tokyo as a Mexican ninja. The tone is brash, over-the-top and full of attitude.

Megabonk

Strong character progression

A 3D roguelike in the Vampire Survivors mold: you run, jump and slide through arenas while your weapons auto-fire at hordes. Absurd item synergies quickly snowball into wildly overpowered builds.
