Three blanks and one live round for us. Short, atmospheric, tense, fun with friends for a bit. It's a tabletop game, not a roguelike, and there are tabletoppers with more depth out there.

For a free, college student-level final assignment, it's okay. A great game if it was on Newgrounds in 2008. Problem is: a lot of other, better free roguelikes out there. Play those instead.

An Epic of Gilgamesh themed traditional roguelike but thankfully without the epic length. Perfectly paced, poetic, and brutal. Very creative art, enemies, and spell systems. Naked Ape pummeling sim.

An interestingly themed Hades-like that ran out of budget and dev time, and it shows unfortunately. The studio is as defunct as the voice acting, writing, and game direction sadly.

This game is candy for people who are wholly committed to the "gameplay over graphics" mantra. Some rough edges here and there, but very unique and creative takes on the roguelite genre. Chaos indeed.

S-tier art and aesthetic but gameplay takes some time to learn. The thoughtful dice mechanic seems like a gimmick at first glance, but has some neat and unique twists to it not found elsewhere.

Complete chaos in all the best ways. Learning curve is brutal, but mods and wand building sites help. Beautiful art and sound direction, daily practice mode is a fun and great learning resource.

Content-rich action-RPG with a fun roguelike DLC mode: Survival. Not very fun solo when you're first learning the systems. Best played with friends until you understand all the boss mechanics.

Tight and fast, tactical wizard simulator with a minimalist NES aesthetic. More spells than you can share a displacer beast at. Some of the UI could be more clear, but a fun synergy sandbox all in all

Well deserving of its critical acclaim, but you have to be on board for extensive story and exposition. Top notch action, voicing, and art for just about any genre, let alone a roguelike.
