When I think of "dungeon crawlers," I tend to picture very specific imagery – and Going Under, a "satirical dungeon crawler about exploring the cursed ruins of failed tech startups," isn't it. It's darling as hell! The creator, Aggro...

Our Spidey Sense didn't betray us yesterday. Despite it being April Fool's, Cellar Door Games teasing a new Rogue Legacy felt legitimate. As it turns out, this was no joke or goof, no prankin' or foolin'. Cellar Door confirmed that it'...

Rogue Legacy developer Cellar Door Games knows April 1 isn't the day to make announcement. It does, however, think April 1 is the day for teases. We'll evidently hear about a sequel to one of the most successful indie games ever tomorr...

In today's contest, we're giving away Switch copies of RPG title Sin Slayers: Enhanced Edition! Everyone knows that RPGs are classic time-wasters. They're chock full of battles, exploration, endless dialog, and incessant grinding. Point bei...

Whenever there is a Nintendo Direct, mini or otherwise, I always hop over to the Japanese Nintendo YouTube channel to compare, seeing if any titles were announced over there that were absent in the North American presentation. Sure enough,...

Imagine a Peggle-like puzzle game with fantasy character classes, RPG quests, elite monsters, and a one-more-run roguelike hook. Actually, you don't have to – that game exists! It's called Roundguard. After popping up at conventions ...

The two free PC games on the Epic Games Store for March 5–12 are GoNNER, a stylish platforming shooter, and Offworld Trading Company, an economic strategy game about beating rival CEOs on Mars. GoNNER is one of those roguelikes I alw...

Today's contest features Steam copies of action-packed roguelike Skul: The Hero Slayer! Ever notice how your head is like, just there? Like, it's stuck there. It never moves. Sometimes you hit it on the shelf or something, and it's really m...

In today's giveaway, we're giving out beta keys to bitchin' card battler Monster Train! I read somewhere a long time ago that Samuel L. Jackson refused to do Snakes on a Plane if they cut his monologue and made the movie PG-13. It led to on...

Arc Games has released a new update for the console edition of dungeon crawler Torchlight II. Along with a run of bugs fixes and stability improvements, the new patch - live in-game right now - adds three fun new pets to accompany you on yo...

I don't know when I put down Dead Cells, but I did, and I've been meaning to get back into it ever since. The roguelike action-platformer has seen continuous support for years now, to the point where it's easy to lose track of what's coming...

Oh my goodness, yes! The creators of 20XX, a roguelike rendition of Mega Man X, are back with a follow-up called – you probably guessed it – 30XX. The sequel uses a far more fitting art style thanks to pixel artist Glauber Kotak...

It never hurts to have a map handy for Dead Cells, especially as new areas join the flow-chart-like world. The Bad Seed includes two early-game biomes, as well as a third area that's home to a new boss. These DLC zones are by no means hidde...

Dead Cells' most committed players better save their gold if they want the most extravagant edition of the game. The new collector's edition pushes north of the century mark, but it has the goodies to make it oh so tempting. Just announced...

Below was one of 2018's most perplexing, punitive, and challenging games. The premise is simple -- keep going downward -- but the execution is meticulous and frustrating. Jordan's review is dripping with trepidation, like Below i...

The other night, while I was poking around my PS4 library, I noticed Dead Cells and came this close to getting back into it. There's a mental roadblock in the way – I know it'll take hours of practice before I can work back up to my p...

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...
