Welcome, Dear Reader
As you’ve arrived on this most functional of webpages, I’m going to assume that you would like to find out a bit more about Rogueliker.
This little website was established in late 2023 by Mike Holmes, a long-time games journalist trying to set up his own thing and save his sanity at the same time.
Since then, Mike’s friend and long-time collaborator Kieran Harris has joined the party. First, he jumped in to help when Rogueliker needed an injection of energy, but he proved himself invaluable and stuck around before eventually taking charge of the day-to-day running of the site.
What we’re all about
Rogueliker is aimed squarely at celebrating all things roguelike, roguelite, and roguelike adjacent. To be fair, we’re probably going to stretch that a bit in order to talk about other things that we’re passionate about, but we won’t do that too often. Promise.
While we are going to do news, reviews, interviews, and features, I’m also going to have to write some toplists. There’s not much I can do about that; such is the offering one must make to the SEO gods these days. However, I have played a whole bunch of rogue-ish games in my career, so the lists are at least going to be fairly comprehensive.
Contact Rogueliker
That said, there are hundreds of rogue-infused games out there these days, and there are just two of us. So, if you’re a game developer and your game doesn’t appear in a specific toplist, and you genuinely think that it should, let me know and we’ll take a look, time permitting.
We get far more games than we can ever hope to cover, so no promises. Furthermore, this is a game recommendations site, where we will focus on games we like, rather than stuff that we don’t.
Finally, if you’ve ever had any questions or concerns about any of the content you read here on Rogueliker, please reach out. Your questions might well be answered in our review and privacy policies, but if not, my email is below. I’d love to hear from you:
