Yes, you read that right. MMO roguelike hybrid 33 Immortals is officially making the leap to the Xbox One in the near future.

To ensure this version runs as smoothly as possible, developer Thunder Lotus will be hosting a playtest on 19th – 26th May through the Xbox Insider Program.

Whilst it’s annoying that we don’t yet have a release date, we’re pleased to see the game arrive on more platforms. With the game being fully online and requiring 22 – 33 players for its various modes, having more players to buddy up with should help its longevity.

Only time will tell, though, just how 33 Immortals will perform on the near 12-year-old console.

I had fun with 33 Immortals when it launched earlier this year, but it wasn’t without shortcomings. In my review of the Xbox Series version, I said, “With continued content updates, the game has the potential to evolve into something special, but for now, I’d recommend checking it out first on Xbox Game Pass.”

The Best Roguelike Games: great roguelites, deckbuilders, RPGs, bullet heavens, and more

Next, there are genre-specific lists that delve into the best roguelike games of all types. I’ve pulled out the best examples from each category, alongside the links to more in-depth articles!

The best turn-based roguelikes: Caves of Qud | There are some seriously incredible turn-based roguelikes out there. Of all the modern games, these are the closest to the original Rogue. 

Great bullet heavens and auto-shooters: Vampire Survivors | There could be only one choice for this category, given how all other games are called survivors-likes for a reason! 

Awesome first-person rogues: Gunfire Reborn | We almost went with Blue Prince for this spot, but most people checking out first-person rogues probably want to wield a gun, you know?!  

Cool roguelike deckbuilders: Balatro | Sorry, Slay the Spire fans, but this poker-solitaire deckbuilder has stolen Mike’s heart and won’t give it back.

Brilliant roguelite top-down and third-person shooters: Returnal | Bit of a broad one, but with our other favourite action-roguelites featured elsewhere, we were obliged to mention Returnal here. 

Exciting roguelike platformers: Spelunky | Now, don’t get us wrong, Dead Cells is an incredible game, especially with all the DLC switched on. But when it comes to impact, you just can’t beat Spelunky.

Strategy Roguelikes: FTL Faster Than Light | Another classic roguelike that we’re still playing years after launch.

Amazing action-roguelites: Hades 2  | And finally, let’s wrap things up with our favourite of them all. There’s no beating the original Hades, although Hades 2 comes pretty close!
