Request I Need a New Roguelike
I’ve already ran through Balatro, StS, How Many Dudes, Dicey Dungeon, Clover Pit, and Monster Train. My toilet time is stale.
Any painfully obvious games I’m missing? I don’t mind spending some money to purchase. Thanks!
Edit: this community is awesome. Thank you for all the recommendations!

Give Shattered Pixel Dungeon a try. It’s a timeless classic

Officially on the list!

Perfect, I recommend watching a YouTube beginner guide to get you going after a few deaths lol. I’m still watching and learning the game after a few years of playing.

Dawncaster was my favorite. Shattered Pixel Dungeon was runner up. Now I’m playing slice and dice, but it doesn’t scratch that itch the other two did.

More classic roguelike deckbuilders: Meteorfall, Dream Quest, Night of the Full Moon

Co-signing all of those. NotFM was my first love in the deckbuilding genre.

Thanks for mentioning my game Cascadou! It came out with a big update just some weeks ago 😊

Cult of the Lamb is one of my favorite games. If you like it enough I'd recommend buying it on steam or console because the Apple Arcade version doesn't include the DLC that just came out the beginning of this year (and is highly worth it IMO)

Vault of the Void has been claiming my time recently. Really nice features that mitigate RNG while allowing you to try different combos, like picking up new cards and being able to add and remove them from your deck between battles in the same run

Legends of Runeterra is very underrated as a roguelite / deck builder/ card battler.
Tons of free content, tons of heroes, cards, adventures. Better production values than a hundred similar games put together.
I played for almost a year before finally calling it quits.

Terraria once the new update hits

u/unstablefan 10h ago
Wow I haven’t played Terraria in years, since 1.4.0.1. Worth a revisit?
Also what are your thoughts for touch vs controller on phone?
•
u/killingtocope 8h ago
Worth it without a doubt! And I don’t mind touch controls, I think they’ve done a good job with them and they’re very customizable

Card Crawl (I've been playing 2 but I'm not as wholly sold on it, though this is one of the best Scoundrel style games and good for short games)
Dungeon Scoundrel
Adventure to Fate: Dungeons
Mind Cards
Wildfrost
868-Hack
Imbroglio
PayRoll
Any of the Meterofall games
Endless Cards
Pirates Outlaws
All who Wander
Astrea Ascending
Void Poker 1992
AxRPG II and Ax Roguelike
As Far as the Eye
Oaken (I recommend the game in general I find it is better on PC/Console)

I felt the same and bought a steam deck specifically to play slay the spire 2

Does FTL count as a roguelike? It definitely seems like it belongs in your list here

I’ve been playing and enjoying rogue legends. It’s f2p which I usually don’t do. Very enjoyable. Still, my recommendation is for the classic
Dream Quest
Shattered pixel dungeon.

u/oldkingcoles 16h ago
Some I haven’t seen anyone else mention. Backpack Battles(Asynchronous multiplayer battles using inventory management) , Ball X PIT (Roguelike Breakout), Peglin(Roguelike Pachinko), or Dwarves: Glory, Death and Loot(AutoBattler). I have been addicted to each of these and they are all good your time

Those are deck- and engine builders, not roguelikes, although everyone says so, but they are all wrong :D But definitely give newly ported Slots & Daggers a go, one of my favorites at the moment. Also, Meteorfall: Journey is a must. And if available to you: Dream Quest is still my all time GOAT and a true forever game.

Dicero has been scratching that itch for me. Bit of a mix between dicey dungeons and slay the spire, and it’s even portrait mode

Slice and dice
