2023 · Arena Roguelite / Top-Down Shooter · PC / Steam
Brotato is one of the best values in the roguelite space. Quick runs, huge character variety, satisfying progression, and a difficulty curve that scales from relaxing to punishing. It does one thing and does it extraordinarily well. The potato with six guns isn't a joke. It's a pitch-perfect arena roguelite that earns every bit of its reputation.
2022 · Roguelite / Survivor-like · PC / Steam
Boneraiser Minions flips the survivor-like formula on its head by making you a necromancer who summons armies instead of fighting directly. The minion management adds genuine strategy to a genre often criticized for being passive, and the sheer amount of content and unlockables is absurd for a solo-developed game. The hands-off combat won't appeal to everyone, but for players who want something truly different in the genre, it delivers.

Soulstone Survivors takes the survivor-like formula and cranks the production values and RPG systems up several notches. The skill trees, class variety, and satisfying ability combos give it more strategic depth than most games in the genre. Co-op support and active development are strong selling points. The complexity can feel overwhelming and the endgame grind is significant, but for players who want a meatier take on the formula, it delivers.
2022 · Roguelite / Survivor-like · PC / Steam
Bounty of One brings a western theme and pixel art charm to the survivor-like formula, with satisfying build variety and a unique bounty system that keeps runs interesting. It lacks the depth of the genre's best entries and runs can start to feel samey, but for the price, it delivers solid hours of power-fantasy fun.
2023 · Action Roguelite / Survivor-like · PC / Steam
Army of Ruin is a polished, accessible survivor-like with a gothic aesthetic that sets it apart visually from its peers. The weapon evolution system provides satisfying milestones during runs, and the overall feel is smooth and responsive. It plays things safe with the formula and doesn't innovate enough to stand out mechanically, but it's a well-made entry that genre fans will enjoy.
