After selling an impressive one million copies, action roguelike Soulstone Survivors is leaving Early Access and launching on PS5 and Xbox Series on 17th June.

Developed by British indie developer Game Smithing Limited, Soulstone Survivors first launched in Early Access in November 2022. As well as arriving on consoles, the game will also be available through a host of PC stores, increasing its global reach.

The game sees players strive to be the God they were always meant to be by defeating endless hordes of bloodthirsty monsters. It features 22 different playable characters to unlock and experiment with which suit a range of different playstyles. In between battles, players can use the souls they’ve gathered from fallen enemies and other resources collected to acquire 100s of skills and upgrades.

If Soulstone Survivors sounds appealing to you, you’ll be pleased to know that a demo version is now available on both PS5 and Xbox Series. The demo is said to contain a free Prologue featuring a selection of characters, maps, and weapons. All progress made in the demo and the Prologue version will be carried over to the full game.

You can take a look at the game’s console release date trailer below:

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!
