hades
Hades is a new RogueLike type game and it definitely deserves to be on this list of best RogueLike games. After all, its difficulty is not small, and only those who are fearless can reach its end. The game is recent, releasing for Microsoft Windows, macOS, and Nintendo Switch on September 17, 2020, following an early access release in December 2018.
darkest dungeon
Many question whether Darkest Dungeon is really a RogueLike game, but its gameplay and all the difficulty really make it one. The game has been on the track since 2016 and is developed by Red Hook Studios.
dead cells
as already said before, Dead Cells is a game built around one goal: escape from a prison. However, there is a problem: you must fail, and fail often. Dying in dead cells restarts the entire game, but each time you die, the prison and surrounding areas reorganize. Thus making the game more and more challenging, where you have to keep calm, if not, you may lose a joystick.
The Binding of Isaac
Now, this game is probably still one of the best rated on this list. Furthermore, the game has a detail, where the game's title and plot were inspired by the biblical story of Isaac's sacrifice. In it, the story, Isaac flees to the basement of his house after his mother receives a message from God demanding her son's life as proof of her faith, with him having to fight several monsters to survive.
Players control Isaac or one of the other six unlockable characters through randomly generated floors, defeating enemies in real-time combat and collecting items and power-ups in order to defeat bosses and, eventually, Isaac's mother.
FTL: Faster Than Light
This one in particular is for those who like space, after all the game itself is a spaceship simulator. In addition, it has a top-down view, which is developed by Subset Games and has been available on the market since 2012.
Into the Breach
For lovers and strategists, you will love this game. Where Into The Breach is made up of strategies, and of course, the more elaborate one will have the advantage and greater chance of winning. In addition, the game is developed by the same Studio as FTL: Faster Than Light.
Slay the Spire
This one is for card game lovers and with the mix of RogueLike we have Slay the Spire! A game that stands out for its different theme, which at first may not look good, but it is changed when the gameplay starts. So, the same deserves its highlight as one of the best RogueLike games.
Enter the Gungeon
The game created and developed by Dodge Roll and published by Devolver Digital. Enter the Gungeon is a shooting dungeon crawler following a band of misfits looking to shoot, loot, dodge and play. Make way for personal absolution as you reach the ultimate treasure of the legendary Gungeon: the weapon that can kill the past.
Spelunky
Both the original freeware version of Spelunky and its 2008 HD remake had such a monumental impact on this genre of Roguelikes that, without their influence, it's honestly hard to even imagine most of the games on this list existing. Spelunky 2, released 12 years later, somehow managed to take all the elements of that genre-defining game and improve on them without ever sacrificing any of the procedurally generated magic that made Spelunky so special. There are more secrets to discover, more biomes to explore, and most importantly, more stories to tell.
Don't Starve
Anyway, ending our list of the best RogueLike games. In this game, you will play as Wilson, who is an intrepid, elegant scientist, where he was once imprisoned and transported to another world. An inhospitable and mysterious world, where Wilson needs to learn to explore the environments and the inhabitants. After all, he needs to escape and find his way back home.
