Will 2020 be the year we all become head-over-heels obsessed with Hades? I'm not quite at that point yet, but Supergiant Games' mythological roguelike action title has only grown more compelling with each passing update. The latest Early Ac...

Try as you might, you can't escape FTL: Faster Than Light – not for good. One decent run is all it takes to reel you in and remind you just how potent Subset Games' ship-managing roguelike title can be. In 2020, Subset is still breath...

Is there such a thing as too many updates? Dead Cells has grown and changed so much since its Early Access launch in 2017, but I've seen players express a desire to "lock in" a certain version they know and love. It's happening: with today'...

I'm just going to say this right out the gate: Y'all sleeping on this amazing game. It legit angers me, as it's the best platformer thingy that I've played since Dead Cells. Well, sleep no more, fools. I'm here to toss three copies out to t...

Today's contest features Steam copies of hilarious puzzler Dandy Dungeon! The digital future sure is scary. Back when everything came on a disc or cart, they were there forever. Nowadays, if something gets its digital plug pulled you're pre...

Dead Cells has been super generous with free updates, and that post-launch support is not coming to an end anytime soon. Evil Empire is planning to continue releasing updates "at the same steady rhythm and of the same quality as seen in 201...

In today's contest we're giving away Steam copies of Tangledeep and all its DLC! Ok, who wants a 16-bit era-inspired roguelike RPG where you crawl around in dungeons, craft new weapons, and hang out with a frog-dude? I could have probably s...

Far too many times I've booted up a decently technical roguelike, not liked the presentation, and decided the juice wasn't worth the squeeze. On the other side of the spectrum, visuals and charm can count for a lot in a frequently frustrati...

I will go to bat for Nuclear Throne, especially while the PC version is free on the Epic Games Store. Look, I get it. There's a near-endless supply of indie roguelike shooters in this world. So many of them blur together, and so very few a...

Enter our contest for your chance to win a PS4 or Switch physical copy of Forager! I know I say this every time, but giving away limited physical editions of games is my favorite thing to do. There's nothing quite like having something sitt...

In today's contest, we're giving away Switch and PS4 copies of indie brawler Lost Castle! Why are castles always haunted? Or vexxed? Or otherwise just full of monsters and stuff? Seems odd. Someone should really consider that before bu...

I shouldn't need to talk you into picking up a game as perfect as Downwell when it's free. Heck, you should probably already own it somewhere -- PC, Switch, PS4, mobile -- because it's only $3. But, $3 is $3, and free is free. For the ...

For a game so willing to crush you at a moment's notice, Dead Cells is a surprisingly feel-good story. Whether you first got into Motion Twin's roguelite action-platformer in 2017 with the Steam Early Access version, or you started playing ...

Risk of Rain 2 just hit another milestone on its Steam Early Access roadmap. Today, the co-op roguelike game added the Loader – a returning survivor from the original Risk of Rain – alongside a new stage (Siren's Call), cha...

Enter the Gungeon didn't inflict enough pain on this world, apparently. Game developer Dodge Roll wants us to survive another bullet-hell gauntlet. Its next venture, Exit the Gungeon, is a spin-off with the same manic vibe but a slightly di...

Risk of Rain 2 is a super fun roguelike. I want to give it more of my free time. But, given that it's still making its way through Steam Early Access, my play sessions have been sporadic at best. I don't want to spread it too thin too early...

Do you remember Noita? I can't be the only one who's tried to keep tabs on this game over the past several years. It's a spell-slinging rogue-lite from the developers of The Swapper, and it has a curious point of inspiration: those old fall...

Nintendo has announced that upcoming multiplayer roguelike Risk of Rain 2 is coming to Switch "summer 2019". Already available on Early Access on PC, the intergalactic adventure from Hopoo Games offers loot gathering, exploration and oodles...

RAD provides an alternate history where at some point in the mid-eighties, the world was annihilated in nuclear hellfire. Eventally, survivors managed to scrape together enough remnants of civilization to start rebuilding society. Cult...

Terry Cavanagh has created three major releases now. The first was VVVVVV and it was incredible. Then, he followed it up with Super Hexagon and guess what -- it blew everyone away. With a team helping him this time around, is it all bu...

Ohhhhh...now I understand why Sony only wanted a censored version of this game on its console.

Rogue Legacy is back to burn away even more of our free time with a new port to iOS. It's out today for just $0.99, but the discounted price won't last long – it's only good until Sunday, August 11. From that point on, the iPhone/iPad...

Devolver Digital has bestowed North America a physical release on the Nintendo Switch edition of Enter the Gungeon, Dodge Roll's high-intensity arcade adventure that took the indie scene by storm back in 2016.For those of you who haven't ha...

Indie developer Terry Cavanagh, famous for VVVVVV and Super Hexagon, will be releasing his next project on Steam in a few weeks. Called Dicey Dungeons, the game is a deck-building, roguelike RPG with a cartoony art style based around gambli...

Are you in a video game? I'm not. Fix that with today's Bite the Bullet contest. So full disclosure: Mega Cat Studios is really cool, and they've got some really cool stuff in the works. How do I know that? Because I pay attention, fool. An...
