If it’s not already on your radar, you need to know that Mullet MadJack is a surreal, fast-paced, wicked-cool, old-school, overly-hyphenated shooter where you need to ascend a giant tower to rescue an influencer from evil robots.

It’s a super-fast FPS, is what I’m saying, and today it just got updated with some rather cool crossover content between our mulleted-friend and Ultrakill.

Ultrakill is another first-person blaster with old-school sensibilities, and it’s from a publisher (New Blood Interactive) that specialises in classically-inspired shooters. Check out their catalogue on Steam. Anyway, let’s get this missive back on track…

The new mode added to Mullet MadJack is called Boss Rush. As you’ve no doubt already figured out by the subtle title, you’ll have to run at a series of bosses head first, as fast as you can, and stay alive for as long as possible.

The final boss in this new mode is the headline addition, with Punished V2 from UItrakill making an appearance as the new big bad. There are also leaderboards to contest.

If that sounds like your idea of a good time, Mullet MadJack is out on Steam, alongside the new DLC, which is free and available now.

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!
