Shorah- Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 (edited) Alright guys, i need your advices. I feel like i'm addicted to the roguelite genre and i really want to play more of those games. The question is which one to pick first. My own tier list of what i've played (to be updated): S- Slay the Spire (top 10 best game ever played. I can understand that trophies are a bit too difficult for some people and ruin the pleasure.) Darkest Dungeon (I'll finish the plat one day) A- Returnal (amazing game, fast and fun to play, but too easy and not enough depth in terms of roguelite mechanics. Easy trophies.) Hades (very good game but after like 30 runs felt pretty repetitive. Trophies are long but easy enough for anyone. ) B- Vampire Survivors (the most boring but addictive game) C- Endless dungeon (definitely early access game at the moment. Cool to play but lack of everything to be higher than C tier) For my next games i'm looking at : Enter the gungeon, Risk of rain 2, Rogue Legacy 2, Gunfire reborn, Curse of the dead gods, Astral ascent, Dead cells, Spelunky 2, Dungeon of the endless, Undermine. I know there are a lot of roguelite/roguelike tier list on youtube but for some reasons none of them really helped me. So if you have any recommandation or feedback, or just want to share your journey with a roguelite game, that would be appreciated.

ThatMuttGuy Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 I'd go Risk of Rain 2, from the ones on your list, but I'll throw in that you should try Hlt of the Lamb too. It is such a unique game with fun base building/cult growing and dungeon crawling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skurkitty Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 (edited) The Last Stand: Aftermath Twin stick top down zombie shooter. You spawn has a sick survivor who is sent out into the wasteland with the goal of searching for a cure before your inevitable death. Each survivor finds Intel / gear to send back to the outpost that offer unlocks for the next round. Was one of my more enjoyable experiences in the genre, given your chart I'd put it at around an A. Which I think is worth the investment for the price. Edited November 23, 2023 by Skurkitty Added video link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEMONICRUBLE18 Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 If you have PSVR2 I heard Synapse is rougelike, Hades I've heard is amazing haven't played it myself yet, also the Virtuous Cycle DLC from Mortal-Shell is pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My question with Risk of Rain 2 is if it's good as a solo game or if i definitely need to find friends to get the most of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Slay the Spire as one of your top tier entries, I think the most logical ones I can recommend (both of which are fantastic) are another two rogue like Deck-builders: Griftlands, and Fights in tight Spaces Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've only played solo (minus like 1 session with a friend). It's still a ton of fun, but also friends would probably make it more fun. Still 100% worth it solo.

(see my splendid xcom2 1% completion ahaha) Maybe Slay the spire is just too good that it's a exception. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HelixNebula_x Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 Dead Cells is great, I've not played that much of it myself but from what I have it's fantastic. It even got one of my friends who solely plays FIFA hooked when he started it on the Switch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that case, maybe take a look at Curse of the Dead Gods - it's more similar to Hades, but IMO, the action is better (though the story elements aren't anywhere close) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PillowGamer Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 I had so much fun with Risk of Rain 2. About 200 hours played. I don’t really like rougelikes but that game was superb. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zemiguelreis Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 The Binding of Isaac is great and will keep you occupied for a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xylobe Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 Call Isaac, he's crying. But for real, I'm surprised to not see The Binding of Isaac on your list, as it's always been a poster child of the genre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should have said that earlier, to me, graphics are important and a reason i've been reluctant to play great game like Dead cells or Enter the gungeon. I know they are good but i F* HATE PIXEL ART SO MUCH MAN !§§§§!!§!§! 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're locking yourself out of a ton of mainstays like Isaac, Dead Cells, Gungeon, Risk of Rain, Noita, etc. I'd still recommend trying to give at least one of those a shot unless you really don't think you could stomach it. Outside of those, I really think Hades and Returnal are the best you'll find for action-focused games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there something with Isaac that make you love it so much and you never found in more recent games like Gungeon ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jasondm300 Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 I'll join with Isaac, it is a top 10 GOAT for me. Another one that is fantastic is Rogue Legacy. Both games in the series are great. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No longer here Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 Risk of Rain 2, Dead Cells and Binding of Isaac are among my favorites in the genres! All games 9.5/10! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not at all, everything will come naturally. The only thing that was a little buggy was the "complete 5 runs" trophy. For it to register you have to do all 5 in one session, however when you get to that point you can basically rush down runs and do 5 in 1hr 30min.
