If you’re a Souls fan and love collecting your favorite video game soundtracks on vinyl, you’ll be pleased to know that pre-orders are now open for Elden Ring Nightreign—the limited edition vinyl collection.

Expected to ship this summer, the collection includes 57 tracks from Limveld, including tracks from The Forsaken Hollows DLC. The set arrives on seven galaxy-printed vinyl discs, each with a gatefold jacket marked with an illustration of one of the 10 Nightfarers.

The sets are limited to just 4,999 copies worldwide, so we can see them very quickly becoming collector’s items. They also include an art print (Size 300 × 300 mm), a certificate of authenticity numbered from 1 to 4 999, and a premium-quality slipcase.

Nightreign isn’t the only rogue to head to vinyl recently. Following the success of Slay the Spire 2, the original game’s soundtrack received a re-release with gorgeous new artwork from from Nimit Malavia and four new psych rock versions of classic tracks on vinyl for the very first time.

I reviewed Nightreign on PS5 when it launched last year. In my review, I said: “If you’re a Souls enthusiast with a group of friends who are looking to play something together, I would say it’s worth it. However, if you don’t check both of those boxes, Nightreign has the potential to frustrate and I advise caution before diving in alone and unarmed.”

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!
