Brings what grabs you about Tales of Maj'Eyal: runs that differ every time, complex systems to tinker with and turn-based combat.

An extremely deep science-fantasy roguelike where you explore a vast, part handcrafted, part procedural world turn by turn. Dozens of mutations and interlocking simulation systems enable unusual builds and emergent stories where you can do almost anything.

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.

Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup

Runs that play out differently every time

A classic roguelike where you build a hero from many species and classes and fight turn by turn through deadly dungeons to fetch the Orb of Zot. Deep mechanics, gods, spells and unforgiving permadeath make every run feel distinct and replayable.

Rogue Fable III

Runs that play out differently every time

A traditional turn-based fantasy roguelike with deep tactical decisions and high difficulty. Runs are shorter and more focused than in the genre's classics, with plenty of class and skill choices.

Moonring

Open world

Moonring blends classic old-school turn-based RPGs with roguelike elements in an open, dark fantasy world. Its striking neon look gives the adventure a distinctive, atmospheric character.

WazHack

Runs that play out differently every time

A classic turn-based roguelike where time only advances when you act. With over 300 items and 150 monsters, it rewards creative problem-solving in tight spots across procedurally generated dungeons.

One Way Heroics

Strong character progression

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.

Dungeons of Dredmor

Strong character progression

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.

Rift Wizard

Runs that play out differently every time

In Rift Wizard you assemble your own spellbook from more than a hundred spells and fight through procedurally generated turn-based challenges. Every death sends you back to the start, so each run becomes a fresh tactical puzzle.

Stoneshard

Strong character progression

A punishing turn-based medieval pixel-art RPG where injuries, hunger and gear management decide whether you survive. You explore a grim open world and shape your hero through deep skill trees.
