Brings what grabs you about Rogue Legacy: runs that differ every time, melee combat with weapons or fists as well as jumping and platforming.

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.

Dead Cells

Runs that play out differently every time

A fast, fluid 2D roguelite with Metroidvania structure, where tight, punchy combat and a huge arsenal of weapons make every run feel different. Permanent unlocks and new routes give you a real sense of progress even as you die again and again.

Rising Hell

Runs that play out differently every time

A vertical action roguelike platformer in pixel art with a heavy-metal attitude, where you climb out of procedurally generated hell as the sinner Arok. Unlockable characters and talents keep each run fresh.

Dungreed

Runs that play out differently every time

Dungreed blends fast 2D side-scrolling action with roguelite runs. You fight through a constantly changing dungeon, collecting weapons, spells and food to take on the evil lurking below.

Astral Ascent

Runs that play out differently every time

A fast-paced 2D action roguelite where you pick one of four heroes and take on the twelve Zodiac bosses. Quick combat, plenty of spells and allies keep each run varied.

Tallowmere

Runs that play out differently every time

A 2D hack-and-slash platformer where you fight through randomly generated dungeons ruled by the quirky Lady Tallowmere, trying to get as deep as you can.

Knightmare Tower

Runs that play out differently every time

A frantic arcade action game where a knight slashes upward through tower ceilings, rescues princesses and outruns rising lava. Upgrades bought between runs make each new attempt stronger.

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.

Caveblazers

Runs that play out differently every time

A brutal pixel-art roguelike platformer where you fight through procedurally generated caves full of orcs and goblins, collecting weapons and magic items and dying often in gory ways.

Unepic

Lots of humour

A modern-day gamer is pulled into a fantasy castle and must fight his way through a sprawling pixel-art metroidvania with spells, gear and skill points. Its cheeky humor and constant nods to pop culture and RPG clichés give it a distinctive charm.
