Welcome, Dear Reader, to the home of the best new roguelikes and roguelites. Well, some of them, at least. You see, the main thing I’ve learned since starting Rogueliker is that there are far too many good games out there for one outlet to cover. That means there are a few titles missing below; some are always going to fly under the radar.
So here we are, with a list of the finest new roguelike games that have released in the last year across PC, console, and mobile. I had to pick a cut-off point, and “one year after the first game on this list” seemed as good a place as any, so henceforth all games from before March 10th 2024 will be considered officially old.
But that’s fine, because you can read about the best roguelikes and roguelites in this article, and therein you’ll find a list of great (if old) games that are available across a myriad of platforms. If you want to read about The Binding of Isaac, Slay the Spire, and Risk of Rain 2, you know where to go. Or, of course, you can stay here, and together we’ll explore the best new roguelike games to land in the last year or so, starting with…
Dog Witch | Heckmouse | Nov 6 | PC (Mac, Win)
I didn’t expect to enjoy Dog Witch as much as I did, but this quirky little deckbuilder does so much right, and it didn’t take long for me to fall for its charms. Every decision matters in this stripped-down fusion of cards and dice, although that can also lead to frustrating defeats. Still, it’s a lovely game and one of my favourites of 2025.
Ball X Pit | Kenny Sun and Friends | Oct 15 | PC (Mac, Win), PS5, Switch, Xbox
This Devolver Digital-published roguelite reshuffle of Breakout has ended up being one of my favourite games of the year. There’s an engrossing town-building element, but the heart of the experience is the block-busting gameplay.
I love a game that encourages experimentation, and Ball X Pit does a great job of pushing you to try out all of its different toys. There are loads of playable characters, plus a range of passive abilities and ball types. Things get really interesting when you start to evolve your balls to give them powerful abilities, and it’s here that the longevity resides.
Absolum | Dotemu, Guard Crush Games, Supamonks | Oct 9 | PC (Win), PS4, PS5, Switch
The developers who gave us Streets of Rage 4 turned their attention to creating a new game, based on their own IP, and with roguish replayability built into the loop. Enter (from screen left) Absolum.
This brilliant beat ’em up doesn’t haven’t proc-gen levels, but there is a huge number of ways through the game to mitigate this. There are also loads of upgrades to try out on the different playable characters, all of whom feel very distinct. Finally, it looks great, too.
CloverPit | Panik Arcade | Sep 26 | PC (Win), Xbox
Inspired by Buckshot Roulette, this slot machine roguelike delivers some of the most atmospheric gameplay since Inscryption. In this instance, you’re sat in a prison cell, and you must play a slot machine as if your life depends on it. Actually, your life does depend on it… Awkward.
I think it would also be harsh to mention CloverPit without also nodding to Slots & Daggers, which is also very good and worth checking out if you like Luck Be a Landlord.
Megabonk | Vedinad | Sep 18 | PC (Win)
This initially unassuming third-person auto-shooter is a wonderful example of the power of community. Developer Vedinad spent ages working with his fans to build a game that everyone was extremely happy with (including me). The final version left EA in fantastic shape, which explains why it got nominated at The Game Awards, even if the developer removed the game from consideration for ethical reasons.
FWIW, Megabonk is probably my favourite game this year that isn’t Hades 2. Also, if you’re wondering where it is, keep scrolling down…
Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor | Funday Games | Sep 17 | Android, iOS PC, Xbox
Whoever came up with the idea of making a Vampire Survivors-style mining game based on Deep Rock Galactic needs a medal, because the resulting game is a wonderful mishmash of auto-shooter gameplay, levelling up, and experimentation.
This one had been chugging through Early Access for some time, but at launch, it got a new game mode (pictured) amongst other things. The PC and console versions were also followed by a mobile release, with the whole game making the jump to Android and iOS.
Shape of Dreams | Lizard Smoothie | Sep 11 | PC (Win)
Action-RPG fans were thoroughly spoiled in the month of September, with the excellent Shape of Dreams preceding Hades 2’s departure from EA. The key differences between Shape of Dreams and Supergiant’s blockbuster are the co-op systems and the MOBA-like character controls. Shape of Dreams is a very well-executed video game, and the fact that it’s a debut makes it all the more impressive.
Deadzone Rogue | Prophecy Games | Sep 3 / Aug 11 | PC (Win), PS5, Xbox
I’ve linked to my review rather than a store listing. There’s also a bit of explaining to do re: those launch dates and why they’re the wrong way around. Deadzone Rogue is a really engaging first-person shooter that blends roguishness, Killing Floor-style combat, and Dead Space vibes. It hit PC in August, but I played and reviewed it in September, when the console version landed. Good game regardless of platform.
Jotunnslayer: Hordes of Hel | Games Farm, Artillery | September 3 | PC (Win), PS5, Xbox
It’s always fun to see one of my own quotes out in the wild! According to the store page, Rogueliker wrote: “Jotunnslayer: Hordes of Hel is one of the better auto-shooters that I’ve played in the last couple of years. There’s potential for tons of build variety, the level design is a cut above, and the whole thing feels pretty well balanced.”
Mortal Sin | Nikola Todorovic | August 28 | PC (Win)
I’ve been tracking Mortal Sin for many months, and this August the high-contrast FPS brawler finally shed its EA tags. This harsh fantasy adventure has a wealth of different characters, distinctive gameplay for each class, and interesting tactical decisions to make in between all the hacking and slashing. Don’t be put off by the stylistic visuals; Mortal Sin means business.
Jupiter Hell Classic | ChaosForge | August 13 | PC (Win)
The more modern version of Jupiter Hell gets a mention below, but this Early Access release of Classic is a bit more interesting. While it is essentially a demake of Jupiter Hell, there is already a thriving mod scene built around the game. If you want to play a Doom-themed turn-based roguelike, you’ll find it on the Workshop!
Hell Clock | Rogue Snail | July 22 | PC (Win)
Action-RPG fans should take note of Hell Clock if they haven’t already. This dark and atmospheric roguelite has an interesting time mechanic and explores a truly unique period of history. This one comes highly recommended.
In fact, if you’ve got this far then you’ve already seen that Hell Clock lands during a purple pacth for action-roguelites, with Shape of Dreams and Hades II all arriving within weeks of each other.
Maze Mice | TrampolineTales | July 11 | PC (Lin, Mac, Win) |
If you keep scrolling down this article long enough, eventually you’ll come to the mobile version of TrampolineTales’ previous game, Luck be a Landlord. This Pac-Man inspired follow-up blends time-stopping action and roguish survivors-like gameplay to create something delightfully engaging and fun – here’s my review, if you’d like to know more.
Lost in Random: The Eternal Die | Stormteller Games | June 17 | PC (Win), PS, Switch, Xbox
If you’re looking for an engaging and entertaining new action-roguelite to play, then Lost in Random should be right near the top of your list. The Eternal Die is actually a sequel (to a non-rogue) and Kieran was very pleased with it, and reckons that its relative brevity makes it a great entry point for genre newcomers.
9 Kings | Sad Socket | May 23 | PC (Win)
This auto-battler is part of a new wave of games that blends RTS elements with roguish theory-crafting, and I’ve been thoroughly enjoying this emergent niche. My favourite part of any RTS is the moment when you send your army into battle, and that’s a big part of this game.
9 Kings has a load of different decks that you can mix together in order to create powerful armies, which you can then smash against all those who dare stand before you. Lovely stuff!
Monster Train 2 | Shiny Shoe | May 21 | PC (Win), PS5, Switch, Xbox Series
As I make clear in my review, I consider Monster Train 2 to be a broadly superior iteration of the first game, and in nearly all aspects. The new positioning phase at the start of each round is proving popular, but I liked the new rooms and the different factions. All aboard for this excellent multi-level deckbuilder.
Into the Restless Ruins | Ant Workshop | May 16 | PC (Win), PS, Switch, Xbox
This interesting fusion of deckbuilding, level-crafting, and auto-shooting makes for one of the most intriguing genre mashes of the year, where you must build out your path before doing your best to walk it. For what it’s worth, our Kieran proper liked it.
Conquest Dark | Eldritch Sword Games | April 30 | PC (Win)
I’m a big fan of survivors-like games, but I’m getting really bored of trying out loads of the average ones. Conquest Dark is, in my opinion, one of the best new entries in months and genre fans should at least check it out, especially if they love a bit of barbarianism.
StarVaders | Pengonauts | April 30 | PC (Win)
After having a jolly time with the near-final preview build that I played just a few weeks before launch, I think it’s fair to say that StarVaders has got oodles of charm.
This bright and bold tactical roguelite borrows some classic arcade elments and then folds them into a fun fusion of card playing and turn-based tactics. If you want more deets, my review is here, but to be clear: StarVaders is one of the best new deckbuilders out there.
Astral Ascent 2.0 | Hibernian Workshop | April 30 | PC (Lin, Mac, Win), PS5, Switch
Astral Ascent is already out on PC and consoles, but it’s only PC-based players that are getting version 2.0 via the new DLC that arrived this April. (If you’re on console, the base game is good, too.)
The Outer Reaches expansion adds loads of new content to an already excellent action-platformer, with four freshly-pressed biomes and 30+ new enemies to slap into submission! We’ve got more on the 2.0 update right here, if you want it.
Approaching Infinity | IBOL | April 29 | PC (Win) |
An offering for traditionalists landed this month in the form of Approaching Infinity, a turn-based roguelike with a brilliant sci-fi setting that looks to classics such as Star Trek for inspiration. If you’re after a proper turn-based experience, don’t be afraid to beam down with the away team on this particular sci-fi adventure.
SpellRogue | Guidelight Games | April 24 | PC (Win)
I got around to reviewing this one quite late, but I’m glad I made the effort because SpellRogue is a highly polished and super-engaging dice-infused deckbuilder with distinctive characters and great production values.
White Knuckle | Dark Machine Games | April 17 | PC (Win)
First person climbing and roguelite-infused terror go hand-in-weakening-hand in this brilliant and original horror experience. It’s still only in Early Access at the time of writing, but White Knuckle is already a thrilling experience (Update: upon reflection, we’re ranking this as one of the best EA games of 2025.)
Blue Prince | Dogubomb | Apri 10 | PC (Win), PS5, Xbox
It’s not just a clever name, Blue Prince is just about the smartest, most remarkable puzzle adventure since Myst. It gets a mention here because Dogubomb’s engrossing first-person narrative is shot through with roguish game design to create something unforgettable. If you’re after a non-violent test for the brain, look no further.
Lonestar | Thermite Games | April 3 | PC (Win), Nintendo Switch
After serving a stretch in Early Access, Lonestar is finally out in full on PC. Not only that, but the bounteous sci-fi RPG has also made an appearance on Nintendo Switch, which is a good indicator of how well this one plays on Steam Deck (which is how I played it for review)!
Vault in the Void | Spider Nest Games | April 3 | Nintendo Switch
I’d go as calling this one of the very best deckbuilders out there, which is why it’s great news for Switch fans now that Spider Next has built atop Vault in the Void’s previous successes on PC and mobile.
Voids Vigil | caiys | March 10 | PC (Win)
If you’re after a focused and engaging auto-shooter experience then look no further than Voids Vigil.This lean, mean, auto-firing machine has gorgeous pixels and tons of depth in all the right places. If you loved Vampire Survivors but want a more concise fix, this is it.
Nubby’s Number Factory | MogDogBlog Productions | March 7 | PC (Win)
Nubby’s Number Factory has the look of a game that has seen things, like the coming and going of whole operating systems and the rise and fall of the mouse ball. Yet despite the ancient-looking visuals, this plinko-roguelike experience is one of the most addicting games to land this year – and it feels as fresh as a daisy!
Desecrators | Woodhound | February 28 | PC (Win)
This one is in here for Kinix, who is calling it one of his personal GOTYs – high praise indeed. If you’re unsure still, know that Desecrators is a 6DoF shooter that channels the spirit of Descent, but blended with roguishness and proc-gen level designs. If you’re like me and spent a lot of time spinning around in space caverns in ’90s, stick this on the ol’ wishlist.
Die in the Dungeon | ATICO | Feb 21 | PC (Win)
This dice-based deckbuilder is absolutely adorable, but also really interesting and full of nuance. Enemy encounters comes down to clever positioning of the dice you draw for each round, and your aim is to assemble a set of dice that can synergise in different ways. It’s cute and clever and one of my new favourites.
Jupiter Hell | ChaosForge | Feb 20 | PC (Mac, Win), Switch
The brutal turn-based roguelike returns, this time on Nintendo Switch. Perfect for traditionalists who love Doom – like me! Further up the page I mentioned this game’s demake, Jupiter Hell Classic, which is also a great opion for turn-based fans, but on PC.
Star of Providence | Team D-13 | Feb 20 | PC (Lin, Win), Nintendo Switch
Alongside the game’s release on the Switch, this February we also got a huge update on PC, too. This brought with it a wealth of content for long-standing players, pretty much all of whom love the game as much as we do here at Rogueliker (here’s the review penned by our Kinix).
Sworn | Windwalk Games | Feb 6 | PC (Win), PS5, Xbox
Sworn gets a link and a mention because the co-op is already a lot of fun, but be warned, this Arthurian action-RPG is still in Early Access and people are reporting bugs – and not the kind in the screenshot above. If you loved Hades, though, this one needs to be on your radar. Update: It’s finished now and out on PS5 and Xbox!
Luck be a Landlord | Trampoline Tales | Feb 6 | iOS, Android, PC (Lin, Mac, Win) PS, Switch, Xbox
I really love Luck be a Landlord, which followed on from successful releases on PC and mobile with a full console launch. It’s brilliant, too.
Rift Wizard 2 | Dylan White | Feb 1 | PC (Win)
Rift Wizard 2 is one of the newest games on this list to have punched its way through into our overall top-list of the best roguelike games, and rightly so because it’s a brilliant turn-based rogue. You control a wizard who must learn new spells on the fly in order to take down waves of enemies in increasingly deadly battles. There’s a review right here if you need more convincing.
Bloodshed | com8com1 | Dec 12 | PC (Win), PS5, Switch, Xbox
Another classically-trained shooter landed in Early Access this December, and I really enjoyed it, too. The full version is due to launch in mid-2025, so I’ll save full judgement for then, but the EA release was most promising. Update: It’s out on console now, too.
Shiren the Wanderer: The Mystery Dungeon of Serpentcoil Island | Spike Chunsoft | Dec 11 | PC (Win), Nintendo Switch
Shiren started the year on Nintendo Switch and ended it on PC, and it’s well worth a look if you’re after a deep and detailed traditional Mystery Dungeon experience from the masters of the sub-genre. It’s not the cheapest game on this list, but it is one of the deepest.
Ballionaire | newobject | Dec 10 | PC (Lin, Win)
This quirky self-defined “auto-bonker” is all about dropping balls into boards filled with weird and wonderful pegs, and then watching the chaos unfold and the numbers go up. Fans of engine building will really enjoy it, I think.
Uncle Chop’s Rocket Shop | Beard Envy | Dec 5 | PC (Win), Switch
This one split opinion in my house, because I struggled to get into the game’s rhthym. However, I didn’t write the review, which praises the tactile gameplay, the irreverent humour, and Uncle Chop’s unique sci-fi flavour and anti-capitalist message.
Caves of Qud | Freehold Games | Dec 5 | PC (Lin, Mac, Win)
After ten years in Early Access, Caves of Qud has hit 1.0 and oh my; it’s nothing short of a work of art. Perhaps the best new traditional roguelike of the last few years, this wonderful science-fiction fantasy world is crammed full of incredible nuance and systemic brilliance.
Battle Shapers | Metric Empire | Dec 4 | PC (Win)
The Overwatch inspiration is clear, but Battle Shapers still manages to feel like its own thing thanks to a challenging progression loop that will push you to sharpen those skills while you upgrade your loadout.
Ravenswatch | Passtech Games | November 28 | PC (Win), PS, Switch, Xbox
The November console launch came hot on the heels of the PC version of Ravenswatch, and the Switch version would follow later. I played on both PC and Xbox, and I really enjoyed the deliberate feel of the combat, the emphasis on exploration, the theme, and the tools given to players to let them author the experience they want.
Dungeon Clawler | Stray Fawn Studio | November 21 | Android, PC (Lin, Mac, Win)
Dungeon Clawler isn’t just a clever name, it’s also a really adorable claw machine roguelike about grabbing the right stuff at the right time in order to beat the enemies you encounter in the dungeon. It’s only EA at the time of writing, but I really like how silly this one is.
Magicraft | Wave Game | November 1 | PC (Win)
This one’s a real grower, but once it had its claws in me, it held on for a good time. The aim of the game here is to build a spell book to help you through increasingly challenging combat encounters. I didn’t expect much going on, but Magicraft turned out to be an unexpected deligh full of magic chaos.
Elin | Lafrontier | November 1 | PC (Win)
Some roguelike games are quick and to the point, but Elin, a new turn-based RPG from Lafrontier, would much prefer to take its time and let you sink into its world of crafting and survival. Not my personal cup of tea, but the feedback is overwhelmingly positive.
Vampire Survivors: Ode to Castlevania | poncle | October 31 | Android, iOS, PC (Mac, Win), PS, Switch, Xbox
I love me a bit of Vampire Survivors (here’s my guide to the sub-genre), so this Castlevania-themed expansion was right up my street. The new map is huge, there are tons of characters and cool new powers, and lots and lots of whips.
[REDACTED] | Striking Distance Studios | October 31 | PC (Win), PS, Xbox
If you’ve not encountered [REDACTED] before, then you need to know that while it’s set in the same place as The Callisto Protocol, this is not a gritty survival horror. Instead, Striking Distance has served up a Hades-inspired sci-fi roguelite with plenty to get stuck into. It’s not a classic, but action fans will find lots to enjoy.
Windblown | Motion Twin | October 24 | PC (Win)
Windblown was just on the line for inclusion in this article. I think there’s a great game in there, it’s just not fully realised at the time of writing. I can’t wait to see this one evolve, though, and Motion Twin has earned the time to keep cooking after serving up Dead Cells before. Here’s me EA review.
DICEOMANCER | Ultra Piggy Studio | October 10 | PC (Win)
Not only does this novel deckbuilder introduce some really interesting new ideas, but it does so while being all wrapped up in an art style that feels like something out of a classic children’s’ book.
Balatro | LocalThunk | September 26 | Android, iOS, PC (Win), PS, Switch, Xbox
The mobile release in September was the final piece of the puzzle for Balatro, the year’s best new deckbuilder and one of the most addictive video games ever made (in my humble opinion). The poker theme makes it instantly accessible, but the solitaire-style gameplay loop is what’ll keep you coming back again and again.
Halls of Torment | Chasing Carrots | September 24 | Android, iOS, PC (Lin, Win), Xbox
The Diablo inspiration is writ large across this brutal hack and slash auto-shooter. If you’re like me and love the grim fantasy setting, then dive in with confidence. Halls of Torment feels like a blast from the past in the best possible way.
Pyrene | Two Tiny Dice | September 13 | PC (Mac, Win)
I had tremendous fun exploring the Basque-inspired world of Pyrene. Not only is the theme really engaging, but the card-based exploration is a neat twist that makes this a highly engaging deckbuilder. Check out my review right here if you’d like to find out a bit more.
Utopia Must Fall | Pixeljam | September 9 | PC (Mac, Win)
There’s not a lot to it on the face of things, but the execution of Utopia Must Fall is borderline flawless. If the screenshot appeals in any way, stick this one on the wishlist at the very least. Update: it’s now fully functional on Steam Deck FTW!
Shogun Showdown | Roboatino | September 5 | PC (Lin, Mac, Win), PS5, Switch, Xbox
The gameplay system in Shogun Showdown is so simple and intuitive that I’m amazed that it hasn’t been done before. On top of feeling great to play, with tactile side-stepping movement and puzzle-based combat, there is depth and subtlety in all the right places in the meta game. Highly recommended.
Peglin | Red Nexus Games | August 27 | Android, PC (Mac, Win), Switch
I’d been a Peglin fan for some time before it left Early Access, so I’m delighted that it has turned out as well as it has. If you played Peggle back in the day, or even an IRL pachinko machine, I think you’ll enjoy this fantasy adventure.
Terminus: Zombie Survivors | Longplay Studios | August 20 | PC (Mac, Win)
I’m a huge fan of zombie games, and the turn-based survival experience offered in Terminus is one the best out there (and when I say “best” I probably mean “bleakest, but in a good way”). There is so much granular detail to wrestle with, and keeping death at bay is a full-time job as you try and make your way to the eponymous Terminus.
Rack and Slay | Ludokultur | August 19 | PC (Lin, Mac, Win), Nintendo Switch
“Billiards with a bang” is the best way to describe this wicked little physics-based rogue. The August date marks the game’s release on Switch, but I spent my time playing on PC earlier in the year. I’ve always been fan of this sort of game, and developer Ludokultur does a fine job of blending the roguish with the emergent.
Nova Drift | Chimeric | August 12 | PC (Mac, Win)
If what you’re after is pure action, then look no further than Nova Drift. After an extended period of time in Early Access, the game’s full release on PC sees it emerge in fine shape, with crisp and concise visuals that marry up to the tight and controlled combat. Nova Drift offers some of the purest arcade thrills around.
Knock on the Coffin Lid | RedBoon | August 8 | PC (Mac, Win), PS5, Xbox
There is a whole lot of story in Knock on the Coffin Lid, and it’s a really personable fantasy adventure with tons packed in. It’s not always perfect, but genre fans should definitely check it out, especially if you like your cards to tell a deeper narrative.
Darkest Dungeon II | Red Hook Studios | July 15 | PC (Mac, Win), PS, Switch, Xbox
The PC edition of Darkest Dungeon II landed in 2023, the console version in 2024, and we had to wait until 2025 for the new Kingdoms game mode, which completes the package (minus the paid-for DLC). You can read more about the Kingdoms mode here, if you’re interested.
Emberward | Refic Games | June 25 | PC (Win)
I have adored Tetris since forever, and I love the way that Emberward fuses tetrimino block dropping with tower defense to create something new and brilliant. It’s still in Early Access, but what’s there is already in great shape.
Guncho | Arnold Rauers, Terri Vellmann, Sam Webster | June 25 | Android, iOS, PC (Mac, Win)
It’s time to line up your six-shooter and position yourself with care as Guncho wants you to make every shot count. It’s a hex-based turn-based western-themed puzzle-rogue, and the run-times are snappy and to the point.
The Rogue Prince of Persia | Evil Empire | May 27 / Aug 26 | PC (Win), PS5, Switch 1/2, Xbox
I really enjoyed the first iteration of The Rogue Prince of Persia, as I noted in my Early Access review. However, since then the game has been overhauled quite a bit and my original thoughts are a little outdated. What I will say is that Evil Empire captured the spirit and movement of this iconic franchise.
Mullet MadJack | HAMMER95 | May 15 | PC (Win), Xbox
This bold and brash first-person shooter dropped on PC first, and then the following year on Xbox. Regardless of platform, this is a punchy shooter that sets a frantic pace as you storm the tower to rescue the… influencer?! Anyway, here’s my review.
Robobeat | Simon Fredholm | May 16 | PC (Win), PS, Xbox
And here’s another first-person shooter that landed on PC first and then console. As the name implies, Robobeat is a game about shooting robots, but there’s much more to it than that as you’ve got to shoot to the beat if you’re going to score big.
The Land Beneath Us | FairPlay Studios | May 13 | PC (Win), PS, Switch, and Xbox
Although the central mechanic is refreshingly simple, this tale of Welsh mythology does some really interesting things, in my humble opinion. If you’re after something turn-based but streamlined, dig into The Land Beneath Us.
Path of Achra | Ulfsire | May 7 | PC (Win)
It caught me a bit off gaurd, but Path of Achra has turned out to be one of my favourite games of the past year. You’re on the run from a rising flood, and exploring a mythical Earth filled with monsters and strange magic. Each new level is a fresh battle to test your build, which evolves as you attempt each new run. Here’s my review if you need more persuading.
Hades II | Supergiant Games | May 6 / Sep 25 | PC (Win), Switch 1/2
It might only be out on PC and the Switches right now, but Hades 2 has finally left Early Access – and what an incredible game it has turned out to be. Here’s my review of the finished game.
Supergiant has taken the already excellent formula of the original and then turned things up to 11, with more of everything just waiting to be discovered as you fight against the Lord of Time (who also happens to be your grandad).
Dave the Diver | Mintrocket | April 30 | PC (Mac, Win), PS, Switch, Xbox
The console port of Dave the Diver emerged from the depths in April and in a stroke delivered one of the best family friendly roguelites out there. Dive in the day, serve fish at night, and explore the mysteries of this charming little adventure.
Dwarf Fortress Adventure Mode | Bay 12 Games | April 17 | PC (Lin, Win)
It has been a long time coming, but the Adventure Mode is finally available as part of the Steam version of Dwarf Fortress. There’s more to be read in this article about the long-awaited roguelike mode.
Wildfrost | Deadpan Games, Gaziter | April 11 | Android, iOS, PC (Win), Switch, Xbox
Wildfrost is a wickedly good deckbuilder that started life on PC and Switch, and then in April 2024 it landed on mobile platforms. Since then it has also made an appearance on Xbox. This one’s perfect for Slay the Spire fans waiting for StS2 (which isn’t far off now).
Buckshot Roulette | Mike Klubnika | April 4 | PC (Lin, Win)
This strange and unusual indie game came out of nowhere last year and turned out to be a sensation. Like Inscryption before it, this strange first-person adventure is all about atmosphere, as you sit across from a mysterious opponent and play a game of life and death.
Slice & Dice | March 20 | Tann | Android, iOS, PC (Mac, Lin, Win)
I’m ending things with another port, but this one feels like a full release as it has moved from mobile to PC. That’s right, I’m talking about the mighty Slice & Dice. Don’t sleep on this enthralling little roguelike, which has you controlling a small team of heroes and engaging in tense tactical battles.
