Rogue’s Souls is a new roguelike in development by C. A. Sinclair. You may at first think that the game’s title is a typo, but it isn’t: Rogue’s Souls is literally a game about a rogue who goes around adding to his collection of souls. It’s a roguelike and it’s loosely inspired by Demon’s Souls […]

Chris Legasse, he of the 1-bit roguelike MiniFlake, was good enough to notify us all that there is now a free playable demo of the game available on Desura. Also, there appears to be a proper trailer now: The demo is Windows-only; however, per the developer, the finished game will be released “on the Android, […]

Max Becker of Blindhack Software writes in to tell me about Shepherd Slaughter, a top-down action RPG with a procedurally generated open world. Here is the feature list: Do battle with 70+ monsters. Explore 10 unique dungeons scattered throughout a massive randomly generated world. Take advantage of many different items and weapons. Improve your skills, […]

I could have sworn I’d posted about Cardinal Quest before, but I can’t seem to find it in the archives. Shame on me! But hey–better late than never, right? I’m not going to quote the developer’s description here, as it’s really inaccurate (he compares the game to arcade games like Gauntlet and Golden Axe, which […]

Next up on our Big List of Mobile RPGs is Andor’s Trail, a roguelike with cute jRPG-style graphics created by Oskar Wiksten. Exclusive to the Android, Andor’s Trail is both free and open source–anyone can play the game, and anyone can contribute to the game’s further development. I have absolutely no idea what the game’s […]

Patrick Casey of Peculiar Games writes in to let me know about a roguelike he created called Voyage to Farland. Casey describes Voyage as a “Mystery Dungeon” graphical roguelike inspired by Shiren the Wanderer. Technically, this was released all the way back in 2010, but hey–it’s new to me. VtF runs exclusively on Android phones […]

We have a roguelike double-header today. Developers Cascade Studios and WombatRPGs have released a new, free roguelike by the name of Steel Knights. Interestingly, this one employs a sci fi theme, featuring firearms, ammo, three worlds, roughly 30 enemy types and four bosses. You wake from the peaceful slumber of cryo and stumble out onto […]

Dan Stradwick, formerly of Biclops Games and now the guy behind Monstrum Games, has released a new procedurally generated dungeon crawler by the name of Monster’s Den Chronicles. For those unfamiliar with the series, these games are basically party-based roguelikes with a laser-like focus on combat and loot collection, as well as a solid 2×3, […]

German developers Rat King Entertainment write in to inform me that a 3D graphical roguelike, developed in Unity, has emerged from the depths. In Pitman, you play a dwarf exploring procedurally generated dungeons of varying descriptions in search of treasure. It’s a pretty standard premise, all in all. What helps Pitman stand out a bit, […]

I’m a little late, here: Red Rogue has been out in various playable-but-incomplete forms for months now. (This is what happens when you don’t write in, developers: games bloggers seldom act sua sponte, and I am certainly no exception.) Red Rogue is a side-scrolling graphical roguelike by Aaron Steed, pitched as a reimagining of the […]
