Runs that play out differently every time

Peglin

Runs that play out differently every time

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.

Into the Breach

Runs that play out differently every time

Compact turn-based tactics where three mechs defend cities from giant kaiju-like aliens. Every enemy attack is telegraphed in advance, so each turn plays like a tightly designed chess puzzle with roguelike runs and time-travel resets.

WazHack

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.

Rift Wizard

Runs that play out differently every time

Crown Trick

Runs that play out differently every time

Backpack Hero

Runs that play out differently every time

Rogue Fable III
