Rogueliker

Tonight’s Convergence Games Showcase delivered strong roguelike representation, with How Many Dudes?, GIMMIKO, and Gunboat God all making appearances.

For us, though, the real star of the show was Everything is Crab, which was revealed to be scuttling onto PC on May 8.

Pitched as Spore meets Vampire Survivors, with the dodge roll of Enter the Gungeon, this animal evolution roguelite has been on our radar for a while. Here, players shape a brand-new creature each run, experimenting with more than 100 unique, evolution-based abilities.

Mike checked out the game during its first playtest and he was a big fan of its creature-evolving gameplay. You can check out his preview here.

Everything is Crab wasn’t the only appearance in the showcase from publisher Secret Mode. Nostalgia-driven football roguelike Nutmeg! also received its very first gameplay trailer which you can watch here.

The new release date trailer for Everything is Crab can be found below:

Still with me? Of course you are! If you want to keep reading about great hand-picked roguelikes, this website is absolutely chock-full of them. Head over to the Guides Page for a concentrated hit of roguish games, organised via sub-genre and platform.

What’s more, there are always going to be new lists for emerging trends as well as fresh titles to highlight. This is because my backlog is embarrassingly long, and so I’m always trying to balance the new games that arrive in my inbox with playing the stuff I already have.
