If fast-paced roguelite shooters are your thing and you’re rocking a PS5, then I have some goodly news for you this evening: Void/Breaker is heading to Sony’s platform in the new year, and you can get stuck in right now via a new demo that just dropped.

Void/Breaker is the work of Stubby Games, an independent studio helmed by Daniel Stubbington. The developer’s previous work includes The Entropy Centre, sci-fi physics-based puzzler, however, this game is lot more punchy, with a cool gravity tether that lets you sling things about the place, as well as lots of futuristic weaponry.

Right now, Void/Breaker is available on PC via Steam and PC Games Pass, and I’ve spent a bit of time this evening trying it out. Long story short: this is shaping up to be an engrossing first-person shooter and I’m definitely going to be covering it more deeply in the months ahead.

Void/Breaker’s Roadmap

Those months between now and launch are going to be busy, as per the below infographic shared over on a previous Steam post.

Over the next few months we can expect Zones 4 and 5 to be added to the game, along with a handful of additional weapons, a bunch of gameplay-enhancing modules, and a selection of new enemy variants.

When Void/Breaker will leave Early Access / Game Preview on PC remains unclear, but it’ll be at some point in the back half of 2026, by the looks of things. Hopefully it’ll also land on PS5 at the same time!

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!
