Faron’s Fate (or Adventure Dungeon 2: Faron’s Fate to give it it’s full title) is a fun roguelike dungeon-crawler inspired by The Binding of Isaac, in which you explore randomly generated dungeons, fighting all manner of fiendish foe and collecting lots of stackable upgrades.

The gameplay in Faron’s Fate is remarkably similar to The Binding of Isaac, with you entering rooms vanquishing enemies and collecting loot. At the end of each stage, you must defeat a big boss, then descend down even further into the dungeon.

It’s a fun game, and thanks to the procedurally generated level design and over 170 powerful items and upgrades to find, every run is completely different. Those who have sampled the joys of The Binding of Isaac will find Faron’s Fate very familiar, but that’s no bad thing, there’s always room for more fun roguelike dungen-crawlers in the world!

Pequod is a fantastic procedurally generated seafaring roguelike that plays like a blend of Ecco The Dolphin and The Binding of Isaac, in which you control mighty whale who must fight against an onslaught of deadly ships commanded by the powerful captain Ahab.
In Pequod you swim around the sea, fighting five different races, comprising over a hundred different types of enemies. You destroy ships by jumping out of the water and smashing into them, while trying to avoid their various attacks. These sea craft randomly drop loot when destroyed, especially the gold and silver cargo boats that always harbour some useful items or power-ups. Once you smash enough boats to fill up your worship-meter, a large boss ship will enter the ocean - destroy this and you’ll get a valuable loot drop and progress to the next level.
What makes Pequod so addictive are the Binding of Isaac-esque stackable power-ups and upgrades which can be gained from loot drops, shops and sacrifice altars. As well as the RPG-style stat system, which includes Damage, Luck, Speed, Madness and Magic Damage, you can also unlock lots of stackable passive powers, such as spawning saw blades, summoning lighting or growing a large narwhal spear. Much like The Binding of Isaac, this makes every playthough of Pequod unique and immensely fun. After one go of this awesome underwater roguelike adventure you’ll be hooked. Highly recommended.

.Age is a wonderful new blend of punishing roguelite and god sim in which you must help a small village survive and prosper through a variety of disasters and diseases.

Inspired by FTL and Agricola, it looks fairly simple, but with dangerous randomised events, permadeath and scarce resources to manage, .Age is deceptively tricky. You play a village elder with clairvoyant powers, who must tell the rest of his village what to build, harvest and research, with an aim of helping them survive for three harsh years. This won’t be easy though, as things get tougher as time goes on, with more and more adverse conditions impacting you - a mass diarrhoea outbreak can really do some damage (and there are even worse plights later on).

Even in these early stages of development, .Age impresses, the battle for survival in this charming pixel art village constantly throws up new and deadly surprises. Life is hard in .Age, but i’s also great fun.

Teddy Terror is a creepy 2D horror survival roguelike with a Binding of Isaac vibe, in which you use traps and toys to fend off ghoulish enemies and escape a nightmare world.

You play a little boy who is lost in a nightmare, with only his teddybear as company. This world is a dangerous place, full of freaky abominations an monstrous bosses, but thankfully you can find upgrades, loot and toys to aid your progress. The toys that you find can be used to attack enemies, but your main way of killing them is by luring them into traps and temporally slowing them with your teddy.

It’s a tough game, so you’ll die a lot, but each run will earn you XP, allowing you to level up your character for the next run and increase your chances of success. The passive aggressive gameplay of Teddy Terror makes for a unique experience, with you having to think on your feet as you lure the monsters to their doom. It’s a challenging game with inventive gameplay and gorgeously grotesque pixel art – a nightmare you won’t want to wake up from.

BEEST is a super tough roguelike that sees you controlling a robotic bee who must eradicate dangerous parasites, heal sick bees and kill corrupted queen bees in an infected beehive.

The mechanics in BEEST are a little different to your traditional dungeon crawling rogue like. Enemies are tough and the only way to regain health is to cure the sick bees in the hive. To do this you must must drain energy from the enemies while they’re still alive, which is easier said than done as the rooms are small and the enemies are pretty relentless. Thankfully, when killed, enemies will occasionally drop upgrades which may make things a little easier.

BEEST Has been specifically designed to be punishing to newcomers, so expect to die a lot. But once you get to grips with the gameplay systems it’s a fun (but still punishingly tough) game. A challenging roguelike with plenty of sting in it’s tail.
