Backpack Hero

Runs that play out differently every time

A roguelike where packing your backpack is the puzzle: item placement, adjacency and synergies determine your offense and defense in turn-based fights. Each run brings new builds and routing decisions across the map.

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.

HyperRogue

Runs that play out differently every time

A turn-based roguelike puzzle played on a hyperbolic plane, where the warped geometry makes every move feel fresh. You hunt for treasure, explore varied lands and outmaneuver monsters through clever movement.

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.

Fidel: Dungeon Rescue

Runs that play out differently every time

A small puzzle-roguelike where you play as a dog planning the best route through monsters, treasure and magic. Runs last only a few minutes, each revealing new tricks and surprises.

Shovel Knight: Pocket Dungeon

Tactical depth

A puzzle roguelike set in the Shovel Knight universe: you dig through grid-based rooms of enemies, match and combine foes and items, and take on bosses. Charming pixel art, a great soundtrack and a head-to-head versus mode round it out.

Kaamos

Runs that play out differently every time

A compact turn-based puzzle roguelike where fights are decided by shifting and matching tiles on a grid whose rows and columns wrap around. Loot from battles shapes your character and tile deck in a gloomy medieval world that lost its sun.

10000000

Fantasy setting
