Genre: Strategy

After being ready to dismiss this as a cash-in on Vampire Survivor’s success, I’ve been proven mostly wrong and pleasantly surprised. Reminiscent of Crimsonland, this takes the more active angle.

Chess with a shotgun. Gets a bit deeper as you play, and deceptively satisfying. Cool packaging of a neat little concept and worth a look.

Basically a serotonin dispenser - super fun. Pachinko dungeon crawling roguelike. Will rely on enough content being added to enable huge build diversity. Crazy, almost stupid idea, but it works.

Well put-together and crazy addictive autobattler slot machine. Obviously hugely RNG dependent, but fun enough to keep coming back.

Deckbuilding roguelite escape room ARG. An inspiring masterpiece & wonderfully executed ode to card/videogames. If you’re into that kind of thing, it’s a must play. So, so impressive. Mullins is nuts.

The genre-defining browser classic comes to Steam, bringing all its apocalyptic Grandma madness along with it. If you didn’t dedicate a browser tab to this for thousands of hours, you didn’t live.

Very cozy yet addictive little tile strategy/puzzle game. Don’t let its simple primary mechanic(s) fool you - there’s quite a bit to explore here. Very pretty and tightly executed.

Interesting roguelike farming sim accurately described as Fallout Stardew Gungeon. Charming art, and overall a cool idea. Starts out pretty relaxing but ramps up steadily. Probably better on Switch.

Deckbuilding… reverse-tower-defence… strategic… dungeoncrawler… roguelite? Hard to describe but wickedly clever. Polished, fun, challenging & very addictive. Set to be a classic - play it.

I hate this phraseology, but it’s hard to avoid: Papers, Please meets Sim City. A crushing, brutal survival citybuilder which will have you searching your soul and stretching your ethical boundaries.
