Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup

Fantasy setting

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.

WazHack

Fantasy setting

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.

Expect the Unexpected

Fantasy setting

A fast-paced, turn-based roguelike with RPG elements where randomly generated maps full of varied events make every run play out differently.

Tangledeep

Strong character progression

A 16-bit style dungeon crawler with turn-based roguelike combat, a flexible job system and randomized dungeons. Each run encourages new builds and strategic decisions.

Rogue Fable III

Fantasy setting

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.

Wayward

Open world

A turn-based, top-down wilderness survival roguelike with no classes or levels. Your skills grow by interacting with items and the world, and you can play in whatever way you like.

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.

Backpack Hero

Fantasy setting

A roguelike where packing your backpack is the puzzle: item placement, adjacency and synergies determine your offense and defense in turn-based fights. Each run brings new builds and routing decisions across the map.

Caves of Qud

Open world

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.
