Desktop Dungeons: Rewind

Pawnbarian

Turn-based combat

A puzzle roguelike where you play chess moves as cards to fight through tiny dungeon boards. Every turn rewards careful planning and clever card combinations.

Rack and Slay

Turn-based combat

Peglin

Lots of humour

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.

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.

An addictive poker roguelike where Jokers, card upgrades and wild synergies push your scores to absurd heights. Every run plays differently, and the hunt for the perfect build never gets old.
