Die for Valhalla!

Lots of humour

You play as a Valkyrie tearing through Viking hordes in a fast, chaotic hack-and-slash roguelite where you can possess enemies and objects to take control of them. Its appeal lies in the bloody, goofy spectacle and the constant experimenting with new combinations across runs.

Paint the Town Red

Action-packed real-time combat

Chaotic first-person brawling in a voxel style: you smash your way through saloons, bars and biker joints with fists, chairs and anything else not nailed down. A roguelike mode adds upgrades and bosses on top.

The Weaponographist

Lots of humour

You race as a sarcastic demon hunter through procedurally shifting dungeons, where your weapons keep breaking and you grab new ones from every fallen foe. It is a fast roguelike hack-and-slash built around combos, momentum and dark humor.

Have a Nice Death

Lots of humour

You play an overworked Death chasing rebellious employees through a nightmarish corporate realm with scythe and spells. Fast 2D roguelite combat, dark humor and a gloomy-yet-playful hand-drawn look define it.

Skul: The Hero Slayer

Action-packed real-time combat

A fast-paced 2D action platformer with roguelike runs where you play as a tiny skeleton who swaps skulls to change fighting styles while slaying the human heroes who captured your king.
