Loot River

Melee combat with weapons or fists

You fight through procedurally generated labyrinths where you shift floating blocks across a river, shoving enemies into the abyss. Tough, Souls-inspired combat with dodging and parrying meets a dark roguelike loop.

Chess Survivors

Challenging difficulty

You dodge and strike across a chessboard against an ever-growing swarm of chess pieces. Short, deadly runs let you combine abilities into game-breaking builds, and every failure teaches you something new.

Soul Stalker

Melee combat with weapons or fists

A survivor-style roguelike in the vein of Vampire Survivors where you cut down waves of enemies while battling your own psyche. Its Paper Mario-inspired visuals give the genre a distinct look.

Rogue: Genesia

Action-packed real-time combat

A survivors-style roguelite where you carve through huge monster hordes, stacking abilities and cards into a stronger build as you push toward each world's boss.

Realm of Ink

Melee combat with weapons or fists

You play a heroine who discovers she is merely a character in a short story collection while hunting the Fox. This ink-styled action roguelite asks you to defeat the mysterious Book Spirit to break free from the realm.

MetaMorph

Challenging difficulty

You collect the spirits of fallen heroes and morph between their elemental powers to fight through punishing dungeons. Chaining those abilities against hordes of enemies is the core of the game.

Castle of Alchemists

Action-packed real-time combat

A pixel-art blend of tower defense and top-down action where you play an alchemically enhanced defender, set traps, upgrade your gear and win back the castle bit by bit.

Overture

Melee combat with weapons or fists

Overture is an action roguelike inspired by Diablo and Zelda: you fight through randomly generated dungeons, cut down hordes of enemies and gather loot before the next run begins.

OTXO

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A brutal top-down roguelite shooter where you slow time to blast and brawl through a mansion full of enemies. Fast runs, precise aiming and a stylish, dark look define it.
