Pathos, which is basically NetHack with graphics and some changes - and also fully playable on smartphones.

And also just like NetHack, it is absolutely free.

Found a brilliant title that is mildly underrated. A game called Brotato, it's really simple on the surface but really complex in depth of builds. If it wasn't for the insane levels of RNG which can make or break your run as you figure out what's best to make a clear I'd rated it a 9/10 but because of that RNG being so wild that it could take many multiple runs to come across something even partially similar to the build you wanted to try out I'd knock it down to 8/10. Still an amazing game and despite the frustrating RNG building for your clear is still enjoyable even when you're forced away from what you want to do and still fun to play after you realise your build has no chance, you'll still find yourself trying whatever comes your way instead of ending the run yourself. So much fun even after getting a clear, I've Metaphor Refantaxio installed and unlocking tonight but alm I can think about is playing this simple little potato game.



30XX is the greatest roguelike I've ever played.



Hades and Vampire Survivors for VS I got the platinum and 100 % of all the dlc on PS5 and loved it.

Same on PS4. Brilliant little game. May I recommend Brotato, it's quite a bit more "difficult" or punishing, whatever but it's got the same addicting hook and much, much deeper builds.

My favourite Vampire Survivors-like is Halls of Torment.

Most addictive rogue-like-lite-ish i've played is probably Balatro.

Another Godot engine game, seems like the best rouglites are using it, I wonder if it's just coincidence.

My answer has changed to Balatro.



^ Mine have vhanged also. Vampire survivors has taken the top spot with Brotato taking the second spot. I can see Belatro getting up there but I'm not paying 20 euro for such a simple game.

I'll have to check out Brotato then since after finishing VS  and looking for similar games on Youtube,  I was recommended Halls of torment,  20 minutes to dawn and Army of Ruin, I ended up Buying army of Ruin on PS5 and got the platinum for what was in my opinion a good 7/10 game that needed more time baking in the oven and bought the other two on steam but while not bad games neither of them connected with me .
