Though developer Game Smithing Limited may have recently announced Veil of the Soulstones, it’s clear their work on Soulstone Survivors isn’t over just yet.

Bumping the game up to version 1.5, The Last Arsenal update has arrived, delivering the last of the Legendary weapons, two new Titan Hunt maps, and formidable new Titans with exclusive power-ups.

The Legendary Weapons for the Necromancer, Death Knight, Monkey King, Engineer, Machinist and Samurai are now finally available. The new map additions include Stormhold, a frostbitten arena blanketed in ice, and the Crypt of the Damned, a hauntingly atmospheric new battleground.

I reviewed Soulstone Survivors when it exited Early Access and landed on consoles late last year. In my review, I concluded by saying: “Soulstone Survivors might not reinvent the wheel when it comes to survivors-likes, but it does offer incredible value and depth.”

Still with us? Of course you are! If you want to keep reading about great hand-picked rogues, the following articles represent a huge collection of the best roguelike games ever made.

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!
