Hey there, fellow wanderer of the Interwebs. If you’re here for an assortment of the newest roguelike and roguelite releases, then stick around because you are very much in the right place. It has been a busy week here at Rogueliker HQ, as we continue to monitor the latest new games to arrive on PC, PlayStation, Switch, and Xbox.
As per, I’ve skipped over anything that doesn’t pass muster, as well as free-to-play titles, AI prospectors, and also demo/prologues. What I have included is studio and platform info, plus the game’s official blurb, so the developers can speak for themselves.
Finally, if you get to the end and you’ve not found anything that tickles your fancy, I’ve left a link to last week’s Gone Rogue, which is absolutely rammed with interesting games. On the other hand, if what you’re after is a more curated list of new releases, with a side portion of opinion from yours truly, head over to The Monthly Update for May!
