  • Turn-based combat
  • Runs that play out differently every time
  • Tactical depth

A chess roguelike where you play a lone king armed with a shotgun against a full enemy army. Upgrades between rounds and careful positioning turn each match into a clever tactical puzzle.

Into the Breach

Turn-based combat

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.

Bionic Dues

Turn-based combat

A turn-based tactical roguelike where you lead a squad of customizable mech pilots (Exos) through missions against glitchy, hostile robots. Loot, destroy robot facilities and prepare for the final assault.

Desktop Dungeons

Runs that play out differently every time

A compact puzzle-roguelike where each short run on a tiny grid becomes a tight optimization problem of spells, gods and careful tile reveals. Quick sessions, deep tactics and dry humor define it.

Metal Slug Tactics

Runs that play out differently every time

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.

Cobalt Core

Runs that play out differently every time

A sci-fi roguelike deckbuilder where your crewed ship fights on a single axis, dodging missiles and lining up cannon shots. A funny time-loop story and plenty of crew and card combos keep each run fresh.

Rack and Slay

Runs that play out differently every time

A turn-based roguelike where you play as a billiard ball, knocking monster balls into holes and traps. Stackable items let you craft powerful synergies across runs.

Desktop Dungeons: Rewind

Runs that play out differently every time

A compact tactical roguelike where every short dungeon run plays like a puzzle: exploration, fights, spells and pacts with gods must be carefully balanced. This remake adds new content and a rewind feature to soften the sting of mistakes.

Peglin

Runs that play out differently every time

A roguelike where you play a little goblin launching orbs through a pachinko-style board of pegs to damage enemies. Randomized relics and orb combinations make every run different and reward smart aiming.
