Blood Rush is a super dang solid FPS roguelite. I've played a lot of them before and this one has great gunplay, tight movement, a dope atmosphere, and an extremely solid foundation. I think the game is a bit light on content in terms of abilities and guns but it being the start of early access I'd rather have a solid foundation because more content and variety can always be added in future updates. So def something to keep your eyes on for fps roguelike fans and/or people who want a roguelikey version of ULTRAKILL haha!

Another ABSOLUTELY BANGER incremental game that you can beat in a couple hours! I love the artsyle and getting to see all the little magic people doing magic things, love the way all the upgrades tie into each other, and just overall if your a fan of these short incremental games you def will enjoy this one!

Disclaimer: I was sponsored to play this game on stream.

Somber Echoes is honestly wayyy better then I was expecting! The combo of the god-given powers + the sci-fi atmosphere is super unique, the combat and movement are super smooth, and the lore is a bit weird at first but the more you find out about the world the more and more interesting it gets. For fans of metroidvanias you def should check this out!

Noobs are Coming is heavily heavily inspired by Brotato but it does do several things differently that do make it stand out. Like the boss abilities you can get around the map that make you do powerful boss attacks, the summons, the twitch integration, and more. I do hope the game keeps focusing on what makes it unique but a very solid foundation for a fun roguelike with a bunch of replayibility especially if you are a fan of Brotato!

Cube Chaos is a sandboxy, strategy roguelike that has more replayability than honestly almost every other roguelike I've ever played. It might look simple at first but holyyyyy cow you really can kind of do anything in this game to try to accomplish the goal of killing the enemy base and moving on in the run. The sheer amount of content in this game is truly mind boggling. Don't let the graphics warp your idea of this game because it is hands down one of the coolest freaking roguelikes I've ever played!

This newest roguelite by the dev of Genome Guardian, Alpherior, has us once again combining DNA to make some insane units but this time in a more tactics based game! The DNA combining mechanic is super unique and makes this game really interesting and replayable. If your a fan of tactics based games or turn based roguelites then you should definitely check this one out!

Cast n Chill is one of the first idle games I'd say is a masterpiece. It's a fishing idle game that has some of the most gorgeous pixel art I’ve literally ever seen before. The sound design really makes you feel like your out in nature fishing and it's just such a chill experience and also incredibly fun whether you play actively or idle it. 100% recommend this game!

I was expecting PEAK to be way more of a gimmick game than it actually is. It is a super dang high quality game that fills you and your friends (or just you if your playing solo) with so much tension as your trying to climb higher and higher in these awesome different biomes. There are a bunch of quirky items (sometimes too quirky like instantly just killing you or your friends haha). And the climbing and stamina mechanics are really solid as well. Highly recommend especially if you have some friends to play with!

Lost in Random: The Eternal Die might be one of the best action roguelites I've played! From the snappy and responsive combat, to the incredible voice acting, and the super deep and interesting power and inventory system I would def recommend checking it out!

9 Kings has an incredible amount of depth and replayibility all while being an extremely approachable army building roguelite! Tons of unique kings to play, tons of different builds, and a lot of pretty solid meta progression! Plus it's soooooo satisfying to watch the lil' armies fight each other haha!
