Games like SanctuaryRPG

2014PC

You crawl through dungeons in a retro ASCII world, fighting turn by turn with a humorous, tactical edge drawn from roguelikes and JRPGs. Its appeal lies in careful strategy and a deliberately old-school presentation, though my knowledge of this title is limited.

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

Brings what grabs you about SanctuaryRPG: runs that differ every time, a demanding difficulty and tactical depth.

A roguelike dungeon crawler where every move and attack must land on the beat of the music. The catchy soundtrack and rhythmic, tactical gameplay turn each run into a demanding dance.

Peglin

Fantasy setting

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.

Dungeons of Dredmor

Lots of humour

A humorous turn-based roguelike with randomly generated dungeons, where you mix skills from a huge skill tree to craft your own builds. Quirky monsters, items and references keep it funny, while hunger, traps and permadeath keep it challenging.

Cogmind

Tactical depth

A turn-based sci-fi roguelike where you play a robot that constantly rebuilds itself from parts scavenged off other machines. Every choice in loadout, tactics and hacking matters, and no run plays the same.

Rogue

Challenging difficulty

The original roguelike: you fight turn by turn through randomly generated dungeons drawn in ASCII characters, where death is permanent and every run plays out differently.

BPM: Bullets Per Minute

Fantasy setting

A rhythm-based roguelike first-person shooter where shooting, reloading and moving must land on the beat of a rock opera soundtrack. As a Valkyrie you fight through randomized dungeons full of enemies that attack in time with the music.

One Way Heroics

Fantasy setting

A roguelike RPG where a deadly darkness creeps in from the left and forces you ever rightward. Every step counts, so you must weigh gear, locations and risks carefully before it catches you.

Hoplite

Tactical depth

You move one tile at a time and hold back waves of enemies with spear and shield, where every step has to be planned. Each run is procedurally generated and death resets you, turning it into a sharp tactical puzzler with a Greek flavour.

Tales of Maj'Eyal

Strong character progression

A classic roguelike with turn-based tactical combat and exceptionally deep character building. Many races and classes let you craft inventive builds while exploring a procedurally generated, dangerous world.
