This is like a random list.
There’s hades. There’s vampire survivors. There’s FTL.
Those are radically different games.
Would have been better to call it a list and broke it into subgenres.
Noita is the one I keep coming back to. It’s like if the powder game was a roguelite with wizards and monsters.
Noita should absolutely be on this list. The only explanation is that the author never played it.

Shout out to Caves of Qud. Mobbin’ it right now and its like playing Fallout for the first time. I had to switch from classic I was dying so much.
I bought a USB numpad for my laptop to play Qud more efficiently lol
If you like roguelikes and want to ruin the scope of all other games for you for a while, try CDDA.
My gamer brain is in shambles.
Probably one of the greatest games of all times, i’m always amazed at the sheer amount of possibilities. I did a throwing-focused character last time, stripping car batteries for that sweet sweet acid, making molotov cocktails with gasoline and homemade grenades with commercial fertilizer. Next time maybe I’ll do a pirate living in a lighthouse, strapping cannons and guns to a boat. The vehicule building is out of this world, so much fun…
Isn’t Project Zomboid pretty much CDDA but with graphics?
Anyone have some for Android? I’m playing Shattered Pixel Dungeon right now but haven’t found more
Edit: Dungeon not hero
I’ve been playing Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup. It’s a port from a PC version so the controls are a little clunky, but I find it a nice change of pace from SPD.
There’s a lot more complexity in the game and at least one tutorial says to focus on minotaur berserker to simply learning the game.
Man that game is so clunky. Can’t get it to work on my phone
It’s a seriously complicated UI but once you get used to it it’s pretty fun. The use of the default non-android keyboard will take a while to learn all of the key board shortcuts.
Also note that you don’t actually need to manually use arrow keys at all. You can use ‘o’ to auto search the map and Tab to auto advance to / attack enemies. You can also zoom in a bit with volume keys to make the map a little more visible
Dicey dungeon is pretty good.
Great list! Saved.
The fact that it’s missing Noita is criminal though.
Backpack Hero is my latest and greatest. Too addictive, if you like inventory management as the main highlight (not simply as a side necessity). Depending on how you place items into your, expanding, bag, rotating and reorganizing them as you go, determines how bonuses will be applied to the other items in your bag, as you battle your way through short-medium dungeons, visiting your home hub after each trip. It can still get tricky with the management, and it does suck your time, at least for me, but…too much fun!
I keep hoping that one comes to Android. It would be perfect for me beside Peglin and Slice & Dice.
I’m playing Irarus, lord of the dead lately. It’s very similar to darkest dungeon, but easier.
Thea (1 and 2) is noticeable for being a 4x roguelite. It’s also the slave mythology, so quite original in that regard.
