Rogueliker

Every year, around the month of October, some of the finest nerds in the world assemble for Roguelike Celebration. And yes, it is exactly what the name suggests: a gathering of fans celebrating their shared passion for roguelikes and roguelites.

This annual event is available online if you can’t be there in person, and there has already been a preview event for those who were able to attend. This year, the main show is running on Saturday and Sunday, October 17-18,

As the main event is about to kick off, to get people in the zone for days of discussion around proc-gen and innovative game design, there’s a new Steam sale full of interesting games to tempt you.

The Roguelike Celebration Steam event features a bunch of titles made by people involved with the event, so it’s a great way of showing your support to those creators. And, of course, you’ll have some more games for your backlog…

I think it’s worth a look, as there are lots of relevant games in there to check out. I didn’t buy anything today, but I did discover a new title in there – Dead Station Files – and stuck it on the ol’ wishlist.

Would you like to know more? 

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.
