Slice & Dice

Runs that play out differently every time

You lead five heroes, each with their own unique dice, through 20 levels of monsters, and a single lost fight sends you back to the start. It's a tight tactical dice-based roguelike where planning and luck constantly play off each other.

Despot's Game: Dystopian Army Builder

Runs that play out differently every time

A fast roguelike tactics game where you assemble a squad of expendable fighters and send them into auto-resolving battles. Its appeal lies in clever positioning, synergies and dark humor.

Gorgon Shield

Fantasy setting

A real-time strategy roguelike where you assemble a party of expendable heroes and climb a huge tower on top of a shield. Assigning roles and working together decides whether you reach the summit.

Dwarves: Glory, Death and Loot

Runs that play out differently every time

You assemble a party of up to ten dwarves, set formations and gear, then send them on risky raids where battles play out automatically. Roguelike runs, loot and the loss of fighters keep the tension high.

Brutal Orchestra

Runs that play out differently every time

A turn-based roguelike set in Purgatory where you lead a motley crew through tactical, position-based fights in pursuit of petty revenge. Dark humor and a quirky hand-drawn look define the experience.

The Nightmare Cooperative

Runs that play out differently every time

A turn-based strategy roguelike where you send a ragtag band of villagers on risky treasure runs. The goal is to bring back gold, or at least survive a little while.

Legend of Keepers

Runs that play out differently every time

You play the dungeon master instead of the hero, setting up monsters and traps to stop invading adventurers in turn-based fights. Its roguelite structure and humorous tone keep runs fresh and replayable.

Tales & Tactics

Runs that play out differently every time

A roguelike autobattler with a tabletop RPG flavor: you draft a squad, equip it and position it before fights that then play out automatically. Choices and a colorful cast of characters accompany you on the road to the Grand Tournament.

Astronarch

Runs that play out differently every time

A blend of roguelike and auto-battler: you assemble a party of heroes, travel through dangerous lands and collect magical items. Fights largely play out automatically, so success depends on party composition and gear.
