  • Turn-based combat
  • Tactical depth
  • Puzzles and brain teasers

A roguelike that blends chess movement rules with run-based build crafting: you assemble an army of pieces, collect relics and gadgets, and face three evil witches. Each run plays like a fresh tactical puzzle.

Gem Wizards Tactics

Turn-based combat

A turn-based tactics game with randomly generated maps and three odd, asymmetrical factions. You can mix units across factions to invent new strategies, making for endless single-player runs.

Defend the Rook

Strong character progression

A turn-based tactics roguelike that blends tower defense with board-style combat: you place towers and units to hold off waves of invaders. Every turn rewards careful planning rather than reflexes.

Metal Slug Tactics

Strong character progression

The arcade classic Metal Slug becomes a turn-based tactics roguelite: you position your squad on grid maps, exploit dodging and chain attacks, and craft new builds each run. The charming pixel art and slapstick war tone remain intact.

Oaken

Turn-based combat

Oaken is a tactical turn-based roguelike with deck building, where positioning and rotating your figurines on the board decides each fight. You gather allies and upgrade cards to restore the song of the Great Oak.

Fights in Tight Spaces

Turn-based combat

A tactical deckbuilding roguelike where you plan action-movie-style brawls in cramped spaces. Smart positioning, environmental tricks and clever card combos let you take down enemies in cinematic fashion.

Shogun Showdown

Turn-based combat

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.

Solitairica

Turn-based combat

Solitairica fuses classic solitaire with roguelike combat: clearing cards charges your spells and damages enemies while you build up a hero with items and abilities. It all comes wrapped in a tongue-in-cheek fantasy tone.
