Koei Tecmo is increasing Warriors: Abyss’s already massive character roster with a new addition from another of its flagship franchises.
Arriving this Friday (28th March) as part of a free update is Ryza, who you might already know from the Atelier Ryza “Secret” Trilogy.
Ryza’s arrival coincides nicely with the latest entry in the Atelier series, Atelier Yumia, which released on 21st March 2025.
We’re not too sure what perks Ryza will come with yet, but it’s nice to see a representative from another franchise join the existing line-up from Dynasty Warriors and Samurai Warriors.
We had the opportunity to review Warriors: Abyss when it was released last month and described it as being a “perfectly competent rogue that’s worth taking for a spin.” You can check out our full review for this Musou roguelite spin-off here.

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.
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.
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.
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!
