Hey SwitchUp Family! Let's see what the comments make of our list and what your favourites are! Mark and Glen
Isn't the nothing from The Never Ending Story rather than Narnia?
Please note: Enter the Gungeon has a co-op mode.
I fear this kind of games, in the blink of an eye you can have +200 hours and only 40% of the game finished
Absolutely - they're time eaters! Mark
Octopath traveler 2 is ruining my sleep schedule. You comment hits home
A silly, fun game that's a rare of example of an FPS roguelike is Immortal Redneck (well technically it's a roguelite). It's available on the Switch. It's not my favourite roguelike ever, but it's good fun (and on sale at the moment in the UK, which is very rare!). Thought I'd mention it for the people scrolling through the comments looking for new roguelikes to try out 😊
Oh wow I forgot all about that one and I have a hundred or more hours into it. void Bastards is another FPS.
tangledeep is a great old school style roguelike that i feel is criminally underrated. it looks and feels like a long-lost SNES game, tons of customization in how you build your character, beautiful pixel art, and has a soundtrack primarily composed by hiroki kikuta, who composed secret of mana.
Spent many an hour playing that back in the day. Great game. Mark
beat it recently, haven't died. played a bit of the dlc. did you mess with the pet system much? i just caught a saboteur i think and stuck with em.
@@bobvella7228 i've gotten a few pets but really only played much with two of them - a fungal toad, which is great because it has a self-healing spell that it seems to use pretty frequently, and a verdigrizzly, which has pretty beefy defense and a pretty big health pool, and summons floracondas and grouns spikes. most runs, i pick up the summon floraconda from the floramancer class, so that paired with the verdigrizzly especially is a great way to deal with groups of mobs.
Been a big Tangledeep fan since getting it originally on the Vita (have it on Switch too). One of the big underrated gems of the genre, more people need to try it imo
@@SwitchUpYt I believe it was made by one person. Currently working on the sequel.
Got Dead Cells recently and its been very successful in keeping me out of Hyrule for the past week or so...soooo good! Hades would be my number 1...that game got me through 2020. Great list! Will check some of the others out!
Hades will always be my number 1. 😊
Hades is my #1 because on top of near perfect gameplay mechanics, it has the best story, art, and music. None of the other roguelike/lights come close in those aspects.
@@DamianLirettePiano its a very polished game. A complete game. I love Hades! So good! 😋
Haha Hades is good , but the list IS really god , Isaac have 10 years of content
No ones come close with itens and synergies
Phew, only one game added to the wishlist this time (Bad North) and that's only because I have most of the rest of them.
Honestly, I think Caveblazers is still my fave but that's likely cause I still have fun with it even though I've made next to no progress.
For a saveloy I'd say go with Mana Spark or Blazing Beaks, both are regularly around a pound.
Little tip for Bad North, take care of your archers. 🏹🏹🏹
@@sparkypack thanks. I'll try and keep that in mind when I eventually get round to it.
Darkest Dungeon is my hands down favorite. Ill show some love to Void Bastards, Gods Will Fall, and Inscryption (my deckbuilder pick). Great list, as always, personal taste goes a long way with these rankings.
Yeah Void Bastards is a great game! Mark
Nice to see Bad North on the list. Been wanting to play that for ages and finally got hold of a physical copy of it. Just got to finish Rogue Heroes: Ruins of Tasos first.
Great picks! A lot in common with my favourites too! My personal list, in order from 1 to 10, would be Hades, Dead Cells, Slay the Spire, Dreamscaper, Curse of the Dead Gods, Inscryption, Rogue Legacy 2, RAD, Everspace, The Persistence. I guess I have a thing for more action based roguelikes😅
Honourable Mentions - Void Bastards, City of Brass, Rogue Legacy 1, Gods will Fall, Neon Abyss, Risk of Rain 1/2
Great list and video gents. Some picks that I would add, or anyone looking to expand your library of these types of games would be Undermine, Scourgebringer, Caveblazers, Children of Morta, Dicey Dungeons, Dungeon of the Endless, Flinthook, Gearshifters, Into the Breach, Neon Abyss, One Step From Eden, Rogue Heroes: Ruins of Tasos, Skul: The Hero Slayer, Star Renegades, and Wizard of Legend. Not every game is for everyone, but there is enough variety out there to keep most of us busy. Keep up the good work. See you on the next one.
Many interesting games! One of my favourites is Void Bastards. Finnished it three times now ;)
@@tobiasnilsson9390 Void Bastards is another good one for sure. Especially for those looking for a first person Roguelike.
Love me some Dead Cells and Slay the Spire. I'm not very good at either, mind you, but it's fun to pick either up between longer games as a palate cleanser.
Moonlighter is one I enjoyed quite a bit. I like the balance between the roguelike dungeon crawling at night and the shop management during the day.
Ah Slay the Spire...it's my airport game. Something I need to play to kill 30-45 min without getting sucked in or having to learn mechanics.
Moonlighter didn't click immediately with me....but many times they do when I go back to them so my fingers are crossed!
@@pheonix9372I enjoy both games, but for moonlighter in particular I'd definitely suggest finding time where you have a chance to learn the mechanics. I honestly love it, but I can definitely see the complexity of it (such as making sure the things you sell are priced correctly) so I would definitely suggest playing in a longer duration of spare time because once you learn it, it gets a lot better. Took it a while for it to click with me as well and that's what i did :) just a suggestion of course, but hopefully it helps. And sorry for the long response, I tend to over explain sometimes xD
@@Anonymousrisk Oh absolutely. You make a lot of sense for sure. Moonlighter was prob the second roguelike I tried from the modern indie scene and I think that played heavily into why I stepped away from it fair quick. Now that the genre as a whole has become more enjoyable to me I think it's time to give it a true chance to capture me.
Hoo boy, another video that hurts my wishlist 😂 I haven't played many yet, I think only Moonlighter and Hades, and both were excellent! Hades is even among my all-time favourite games. I'm also gonna pick up that sweet Dead Cells Signature Edition tomorrow, I'm excited to give that one a try as well!🤩
Shoutouts to Dreamscaper and Skul the Hero Slayer - great top-down and sidescrolling action respectively.
Skul is fab! Love the saturation of the colours and the 'zippiness' of the combat. Even though I'm terrible at it it's great fun!
Dreamscaper is actually isometric-top-down would be something like Raksasi. Great roguelite, though; combat is a joy when you master it, and the plot is fairly unique for the genre.
Oh I love Skul but I have never tried Dreamscaper. Another one to add to the favourites list.
@@disalazargI just looked into Raksasi...the screen shots showing look really dark. Do you find that an issue or can you adjust the contrast or brightness in options?
It does sound different for sure
@@pheonix9372 I only mentioned it for its perspective, but... no, it doesn't have a brightness slider, but it hasn't bothered me either; levels can be dark but both enemies and your character are always bright and visible. And it's a fun game, but I suck at dodging and I'm too proud to play on Easy so I haven't gotten very far yet :P
It's not roguelike list without TBoI. Love it so much.
I love Underminer. It is a great roguelike. It is quite tough but the fun thing about it is the further that you get, the more buffs / debuffs you get, so it makes each run interesting, seeing if you can use that to your advantage, or if you die immediately because of the curses on you.
I love undermine! its def very underrated
Nice list! Recently, I've been completely hooked on ScourgeBringer. Absolutely amazing game! Also Post Void deserves a mention I think. Two unique and really fun games.
Good call! That's a really nice choice actually! Mark
I want to mention Caveblazers once more. It's 'Combat Spelunky', where you have a melee weapon, a bow and a slot for a magical item, and you have to fight your way down a cave system and beat tough bosses. There's also perks that completely change your runs, like being a vampire that can't use healing items but has to keep aggressively attacking enemies. I was hooked on it for a very long time! Also it's frequently dirt cheap!!
If you like caveblazers, definitely check out Vagante! I have sunk ~150 hours into it by now. Still haven't beat the game, but that hasn't slowed me down
Another amazing game! Have 200 hrs on it and once beat it once. One of my all time favorites, it never gets old. And 2 player split screen as well
Really underrated. I played most of the roguelikes/lites. I can agree that Caveblazers sits top 3 on my favorite list. Also try Nuclearthrone, addictive as hell
I came across a Enter the Gungeon Lite game called No Reload Heroes. Something about its simplicity is very appealing. There is 2 versions of this both go on insanely big discounts quite regularly and I believe it is on sale right now for $1.99.
Also Bad North is an extremely awesome experience with very easy to use controls.
Nice recommendation, just snagged NoReload Heroes Enhanced Edition for $1.99
Im not a huge roguelike fan but I would have added to the honorable mentions at least Everspace and Moonlighter.
Great list.
One of my favourite roguelikes not mentioned was Skul: The Hero Slayer. Anyone not tried it, please do.
I deleted it by mistake now everytime I re-upload it, it's in Chinese with no option to change to Emglish. WTF???
Such a shame to see no mention of Neon Abyss
(I know there are gajillions of games hidden on the eShop so not judging)…
… But it is a great game, and worthy of a mention 👍👍👍
Love that game. It's in my top 3 most played
It's one of my top played games...and I only had the demo!
I love rogue lites. Just picked up both doom hunters and ember knights. Might be new favorites for me. But one favorite is getsufumaden: undying moon. And death run TV loads of fun. Oh and Death Road Canada is really cool. Aand cult of the lamb!. Scourge bringer, metallic child. Everspace. Dreamscaper would be fav if the people had faces... no faces creeps me out.another cool gothic one. Devil slayer raksasi.. and not forget blazing beaks... and all these on switch and even more... can make many list. Even a new deck builder just like spire.. called..pirate outlaws
Many interesting games! One of my favourites is Void Bastards. Finnished it three times now
I don’t tend to “like” lots of videos because I usually keep mine for music I enjoy, adding a like to this one to help feed my growing rougelike addiction as well as to return to comments from other people as well. See what you guys have done to me! Great list and great video as always.
Hey thank you mate! Mark
The Last Spell has been addictive to me as one of if not my favorite rougelite tactical strategy games.
Yeah, runs are long but I don't mind and is kind of the appeal. Very underrated game. Controls take getting used to on controls but not as bad as Battle Brothers (which I believe is one of the best tactics games ever and very underrated; needs to be reviewed here too).
I love the Risk of Rain games and I'm happy they got shout outs. Can't wait for the remake of 1. RoR 1 was the first roguelike I really got into and 2 does such a good job at keeping the spirit and translating it to 3D. Both games are go to games for a night when i don't know what else to play but I want the full 0 to hero progression in an hour or so. Every playthrough is satisfying and makes you want more.
Obviously, there are a bunch of others i love on the list as well.
I can't disagree, Binding of Isaac pretty much is the grandfather of all Rogue-likes and for good reason!
I had quite a bit of fun playing Neon Abyss, I think that should have been #10 or #9 easily.
Other Rogue-lite would be GetsuFumaDen: Undying Moon, and Wizard of Legend.
Love me some Neon Abyss...it's great to have my little duckling pack trail behind through the levels
Neon Abyss is so good.
Yeeeaaaaahhhh I was waiting for an update! Thank you guys! Keep up the amazing and talented good work!
I could understand why you picked finding of Isaac to be your number one. I just don't think it's that great but the one you left off the list was neon abyss. That one is the bomb😂
I would just play Darkest Dungeon just to hear the narrator. Imagine that guy narrating your day to day life.
My top three would've been Dead Cells, Moonlighter, and Darkest Dungeon, with Hades as a very close fourth
Have you tried Children of Morta?
@@AxLWake I have! I completed it, but never had the urge to go back to it. I think I would have enjoyed it more of I liked how all the family members felt to play. I only really enjoyed the archer daughter and dagger son.
"Darkest Dungeon" is the best! I've put hundreds of hours. Also "Don't Starve"! Is one of my all time favourite.
If I may add, Rising Hell is an interesting game to add to the list
I dont usually play Roguelikes - but I recently purchased Children of Morta which I am finding to by challenging but fun, and given my switch a bit of new life.
Although I am curious about how the much berated release of Red Dead Redemption will look and play like on our little old handheld.
I wasn’t sure which ones I missed on the list because there are so many but children of morta is a good one!! So awesome looking… and talking about a roguelite with a story.. this is it!
I wished more of the rougelikes did what cult of the lamb did. I would have loved for doomsday hunters for instance to have something to come back to after a run. Gonna give risk of rain 1 and 2 a try.
Yesss. I loved Cult of the Lamb
I really like GetsuFumaDen: Undying Moon and Moonlighter. My favorite Roguelike has to be Slay The Spire though. Great video! Added a few to my wishlist 😊
Children of Morta is one of my favorite games because of you guys! Even with just a single narrator I loved the story! Fuckin wicked ass family and you can play all of them! So naturally I love Hades! Excited for the sequel!
Yes, Children of Morta is delightful! I vote for this one too!
I see that the devs of Children of Morta were picked to work on Wizard of Legend 2. Will be interesting to see how that turns out. CoM for me was great, but not quite up there with something like Hades. But, if a team that already had a good stab at a rogue-like with CoM can take that exp into making a sequel for WoL (which was similarly 'great but not outstanding'... from what I understand), it will be interesting to see what they come up with.
@@peterkirby7546 Agreed. I played Children of Morta first, and when I fiiiiiiinally tried Hades (held out till 2023 for good sales and finishing my back log haha) it blew my mind. Such a fucking good game. I'm so keen to try Wizard of Legend!! I'm also a league fan! ugh i love video games. can we just forever video games right?
The story was incredible
YESSS. Just got this on the sale and loving it. Was a pleasant surprise just how well done the game is, and the art style is stunning!
Hades for the loop and story, Dead Cells for gameplay and content
Finally a roguelike list with Isaac on the top ! I'd change some stuff on the rest of it , but Isaac is and will probably always be my king of roguelikes .
I thought I could never bypass the gross that is Binding of Isaac. I believed this gem would forever be beyond me.
But I recently put 6 hours into Brotato in 2 days (I've only done this with 1 other game ever!!!!) and now...something about the game just hits different...
I think I'm ready to to try this one. I've played every other game on this list so this is my dragon to slay that looms large on the horizon.
Mhm. Brotato is pretty awesome 😋
@@Ser-Smiley I've tried to explain the appeal of this one twice today and alas...no one understands. It's just a tight, instantly gratifying kind of loop that rewards curiosity. It feels rare in games that depend on builds... usually there are ones that are obviously superior.
Brotato has its hooks in me as well. I finished difficulty 0 runs with three different characters yesterday, and think I'll try a level 1 run with some of them today. Such a great game.
@@nicked_fenyx its so simple but also very addictive! 😋
@@nicked_fenyx I can't wait to try the next difficulty settings. They say new and different enemies appear and I'm ready for the slaughter!
Great list! No one asked but here is mine though it changes all the time. 1. Isaac 2. Dead Cells 3. Skul Dark Mirror 4. Rouge Legacy 2 5. Have A Nice Death 6. Curse of the Dead Gods 7.Fury Unleashed 8. Double Dragon Gaiden 9. Brotato 10. Neon Abyss. Honorable mentions, Quest of Dungeons and Lost Castle. Oh and Madshot!
That was really hard as I have a ton of Rougelikes on switch and there is not any I don't really enjoy. Plus there are some I haven't really played much or at all yet and more I still need to get. What a time to be alive and stuff. I like Hades as well but that gets mentioned by people that don't even usually like roguelikes as one of their favourite games so I gave it a break.
Oh you should make a top Multiplayer rougelike list if you get the chance!
Never going to miss an opportunity to shout out Going Under. It's a wonderful little game, bit on the shorter side but it's really unique (who knew BotW weapon degradation would fit a Roguelite so well?), and it absolutely oozes charm and character from start to finish. Genuinely got some full blown belly laughs out of me as well. Definitely worth a look!
Thanks, added it to my wishlist, seems to be really cool and out of the box
Seconded. Going Under is just a charmer! It's nice to have the pocket roguelike experience. A roguelike that has all the progression systems and mechanics but also ends...I like the replayability but not every single one of them can be my sole focus until the second coming!
I just got it on sale a while ago for a crazy low price but I haven't had a chance to play it yet. I have heard great things though.
You forgot Rogue Heroes: Ruins of Tasos. My favorite game that I am HOOKED in right now!
That's made another video next week ;)
Oh man another one I have to add to my favourites list.
Mana Spark is really good too! They don't just give it away like Dead Cells, your always hurting to buy more gear. If you ever sit down with it, when you find the spoon... Find the room in one of elven dungeons that's empty and bind that spoon to you!
The game is hard for a while and never gets easy; however, you do learn how to balance items.
Love Mana Spark! Mark
I absolutely love Hades, and I've been looking for another game to reach that height, but none have so far. I own most of these games but I bounce off them. Hades was immediately fun with all the different combinations of weapons and abilities. Can't wait for the sequel.
Void bastards was also amazing though. A sequel to that, with more variety in ships or locations would be epic.
You mentioned Bad North! 🥳 That game had me fixed for hours and hours.
Own all but two of these and a lot more to boot. Been a big fan of the genre for a long time due to its easy pick-up-and-play style and replayability. I will say one big thing tho that I have a huge grievance with...the biggest tragedy of the Switch's roguelike library is the fact that we still haven't gotten a port of Cryptark. If you know, you know. If you don't...well I hope I've intrigued you enough to go try it on another console or pc, and am quite confident you'll agree with me afterwards
I am intrigued. I will research it now.
You need to add Army of Ruin to this list! What an addicitive and fun game
YAS! I second this. SO many unlockables, I'm 40 hrs in and I'm about half way through. Very relaxing gameplay as well
Great list!
There's only one game that I think it deserves to be there at the top, it was even awarded the best strategy game of 2018 and nominated along with Celeste for the best independent game, which is Into the Breach.
I got loop hero for free from epic games and I'm loving it so far!
Yeah it's really cool! Mark
I would add another to the Honourable Mentions which is Monster Train; and I get where Slay the Spire would be a 5th place. It is the daddy of deck builders. Monster Train is like Slay the Spire. Instead of 4 characters though, there's 6 clans with 2 different champions in each you can choose from. Has a lot of Hearthstone feel to it, and it's a tower defense. If you haven't played it yet I highly recommend trying it out. For some it's a 50/50. Like they'll like Slay the Spire and Monster Train is meh, or Monster Train they end up liking more than Slay the Spire.
4:35 "this is one I haven't played at all, so this is one that yeah, I haven't played" couldn't have said it better myself, cheers!
😂this made me chuckle
I love a roguelike. Thanks for the heads up. There are a couple on this list that I've never played. Have a great one!
Own most of these. Wanted Risk of Rain 1 but waited for the remstered which I hope to see soon.
Oh very cool. Mark
I'm actually excited for the remaster. I have Risk of Rain 2 on switch and I never noticed major performance problems. Prob BC I'm not good enough to bog the game down tbh lol
This channel has kept me from giving up on the eShop. Thanks, guys 👏👏👏
all the games on this list are good times for sure! For me, Hades, Dead Cell, Darkest Dungeon is probably the must pickup even at full price. Each of them are easily 100 hours that you'll never get back lol
All 3 main spots are absolutly perfect. Just spot on! :D
1. Dead cells
2. Hades
3. Enter the gungeon
Honorable mention: returnal (which would be my actual 3rd place)
If Returnal were on Switch I would never play anything else! Easily the best rogue like I’ve ever played!
I love seeing that Bad North made the cut. It feels like a game that flew under everyone's radar (maybe for the minimalist art style making it look boring at first glance?), but it really should show up on more lists like this.
Army of Ruin! Guys please cover this, probably the best survivors-like, and zero performance issues on the switch. So addictive and so many unlockables. By the devs of Ziggurat
I bought the binding of isaac when it first came out on switch and i hated it but i picked it up again like 8 months later and now i have isaac everything from rugs to phone cases ive been obsessed I bought the collectors box on switch and bought it again on pc it’s such a good game
I totally agree with the binding of isaac. 1100h+ almost got my second dead god on the nintendo switch. Its so crazy addicting. It will always be a game i enjoy. Because im allways looking forward for the "god runs" and thinking "what will i find next". Definativly my nummber one. Even though i hated the art style and thought it was childish. But then i sa the reviews and thought i give it a go. I want my life back Edmund
Wizard of legend is a great roguelike too.. so many options!
Hades, Dead Cells and Darkest Dungeon!! 😋
Glorious games man
@@SwitchUpYt Glorious! Hazzaah! 😋
Yes, meh, OH YEAH!!!!
@@sevensyns7732 oooh yeaaahh! 😆
The performance of Risk of Rain 2 on Switch is fine. Not sure why that would be a significant mark against it. It only becomes an issue when you're going for very long endless runs. But the performance is fine for any normal run
Yeah I have both 1 & 2 and love them both for their own styles respectively. I never really have any issues on performance on 2 until I start getting so many items stacked in that it just starts crashing everything but that's really not local to the Switch, you can do that playing it on any system. Honestly it's kindof one of the charms of the game, just seeing how broken you can make things, kind of like you can do on Warframe if you've ever spent enough time on it (unfortunately I have)
found it hard to se what was going on in handheld tbh
@@huzcer I could understand that. I have so much experience in the game that it's no longer an issue for me haha. But at the very least, the performance is absolutely fine until you get to extremely late endless levels
@@smitty7326 yes performance was OK ish but not suited to handheld as it was too busy and text was small also
As someone who has around 1300 hours in Binding Of Isaac on PC, my no 1 is still Hades. Not just the amazing combat, but the story around it, the way they made it work with the format is just perfect.
Hades combat is so dull.
Hades is so overated imo, synergies are poor idk why ppl enjoy it so much, the story ? Idk if this is a major point in speedrun, even children of morta has a better story line imo
Nice list. I own some on PC and I've added the other ones to my Steam wishlist! ❤️
Have yet to play a single roguelike (which, after having been a gamer for 40+ years, must be some kind of record!), but the more modern ones (those with persistent story) have really caught my attention. Got Hades on my wishlist, may decide to get it once I get fed up of TotK (if that ever happens! 🤣).
Dead Cells for sure, I didn't dig Hades that much as everyone else. Im gonna have to check out Binding of Isaac. Great review, thanks!
my absolute favorites are spelunky, slay the spyre and into the breach, because those are more of pure roguelikes; roguelites are just a very repetitive loop to get from point A to B, and also they are kinda flooding the market
Into the breach is great! Mark
I absolutely love the choices - particularly, Ember Knights and Hades. I think I will give Slay the Spire and Doomsday Hunters a try. I ought to get some of that goodness!
Great list that makes me weep for all the lost game files from my old switch that bricked.
I think you're crazy putting Binding of Isaac above Dead Cells and Hades. Heck I'd probably put Children of Mortal up there too.
Glen and Mark you guys should do a day in the life video series would be absolutely cool 🎉
That would be cool! Mark
I picked up Sublevel Zero after the "avoid" Boat Racing video. It was on sale for A$1.50. It has become my one-run-per-day game!
I've seen so many people sing praises for Isaac, but it never clicked for me. Even as a fan of Roguelikes, I find Isaac's lack of clarity with the items, mechanics, and secrets that you wouldn't come across until you play a hundred of hours.
But what really scratched that feeling for me is a game you guys recently reviewed, which was Brotato! Man that was so fun, I've played it for 2 straight days.
I just love seeing the like amount roll over from 599 to 600 when I press it. There is some weird satisfaction there that you cant get anywhere else. lol great video guys. I agree with all these titles accept binding of Isaac The GOAT. I've never played that one before. I plan to once i get the time.
Good video, also I don't know if anyone has mentioned this but it's not The Chronicles of Narnia, you're thinking of The NeverEnding story.
RAD is a roguelike I've actually finished. Great top down apocalyptic 90s inspired game and very easy to understand but difficult to master
I love RAD. It's one of those games I go back to every so often and find myself hooked on all over again. Definitely an underrated gem.
Agree but the performance on the switch is pretty bad
Wildfrost is excellently balanced. There is soon to be an update on switch that makes it more welcoming to new players. Alot of the issues with it tends to be that it's mechanics aren't explained and cause you to lose runs from something you didn't think worked that way. This is being improved.
It's personally my game of the year and I'd recommend you retry it once version 1.06a comes to the switch
Fantastic list of games! I've got to pick up Ember Knights and rogue legacy 2. Also eyeing doomsday hunters. So many great rogue likes, so little time
I just got Rogue Legacy 2 on PS plus for free and it's suuuuuch an improvement over the first one! And the first one was pretty decent.
For some reason the air spin jump on the blue lanterns is finicky for me though...
SPELUNKY 1 & 2, Revita, FlintHook, Tangledeep, Vagante, Prinny Presents: ZHP, Blazing Beaks, Crown Trick, Dragon Fang Z, Caveblazers.
Dead Cells is the best to me, I bought the game back then when it was in alpha or whatever the state was back then, I just keep coming back to it.
Also it's made by an indie french studio so yeah .. Cocorico
So you said the nothing was in the “Narnia” movie. The only Narnia story I can remember with nothing in it was the firs book “the magicians nephew” and they never made a movie from that book. I think the nothing was from “The Never Ending Story”.😊
I'm not good with roguelike games but I really like 2d platformer action rogue likes like Dead Cell what looks beautiful game. 🔥🔥
The binding of Isaac will never lose podium, it was one of the first Rogue likes I played and I never got tired of it
Still play it on my Vita
Surely Children of Morta should've got a mention.
Hades and Vampire Survivors are the 2 I've easily put the most time into.
Binding of Isaac and Rogue Legacy were of my first rogues back in the day, but I've put more time into Dead Cells and Risk of Rain than any others. Still have lots of love for Moonlighter, Hades, and Slay the Spire. I don't think it's ever coming to switch, but I also really enjoyed FTL: Faster Than Light!
I have to go with Hades as my top pick, but great list! I respect your choices 😄
Hades didn't grab me immediately honestly. I got Hades and Little Noah the same day and put Hades down to play Noah... blasphemy I know.
I'm getting back into it though because I love the look and sound design!
Wasn’t expecting to see Bad North on here at all! I’m almost certain I picked it up for a couple of ‘quid’ I’m going to pull it out the backlog me thinks. Children Of Morta and Curse Of The Dead Gods have gotta be on my top ten.
Good video
But you miss something
I recommend you:
Vagante
Children of Morta
Wizzard legends
Crawl
The crackpet show
And outbreak endless nightamare (im not sure about that, but resident evil combine with roguelike, well i need to play)
This game hasn't come out yet but I'm going to buy it when it comes out, which is in October I think
I talk about Endless Dungeon
Death Road to Canada is amazing, I strongly recommend it.
Maybe the best couch co op rougelite, even better for that than Isaac. Just make your friends/family as characters to add to the game.
Good list 👍🏻 I would also recommend Children of morta and Has been heroes
Giving a shoutout to Children of Morta. Loved the art style and character variety.
Coral!!! 😂😂😂 Solid list gents, the only one I’m missing personally is Monster Train. Oh, and Dead Cell ftw 😉
Enter the Gungeon is really good, but I really prefer Nuclear Thrones, even just for the music. The game just never goes on sale tho, so i bought it full price considering I have it for Steam already ...i just dont have a SteamDeck
Hopefully you guys are working on it but I’m waiting on your review of Barony! I bought it already but haven’t had time to dive in and am excited to go deep.
Cult of the Lamb. I believe that’s a “rogue like” with farm building.
Also, what would Brotato and Vampire Survivors be considered?! Is it rogue like or something else?!
Heard the genre is called bullet heaven
Great list! Seems another one is needed looking at all the comments :D
I don't have any specific ones that come to mind but I appreciate the suggestions both in the video and comments!
Gungeon at anything other than top three and Into the Breach being excluded is completely insane
