Great channel, it actually feels like you're trying your best to be fair in your reviews and your audio/intonation are alright when a lot of channels like this just sound annoying or goofy. Why not include enter the gungeon tho? I haven't played nuclear throne yet but your description makes both games sound very similar and EtG is pretty much flawless with tons of content and little details, pretty graphics, a fun universe that's introduced through gameplay/the ammonomicon and fluid gameplay
@InsertReviews

Thanks, I try to be fair when possible! For me, Gungeon and Nuclear Throne play similar in a lot of ways but I just liked nuclear throne more, mostly because it feels more fast-paced to me and (maybe also because I played it first). Honestly, I feel like Gungeon just never clicked for me in the same way Nuclear Throne did or the way it did for a lot of people since it's a lot of people's top roguelite of all time.

I just discovered your channel like hours ago but I really enjoy it. I'd put Hades and dead cells way above others, they have the one more run syndrom which is good when you are a roguelite. I find Dead Cells gameplay more adapted to high level difficulty while Hades have visibility issues. In the other hand Hades artistic direction is just insane, same for the lore and the ost (even if DC have a excellent ost too) But both are the one you have to beat if you want to be one of the few must do rogue lite. I also really liked Sundered, RoR 2, FTL and many others that deserv to be played. You should try go give look to Skul The Hero Slayer, it's a roguelite developped by a corean team (I have been baited by their crossover with Dead Cells), the game is clearly not perfect but the gameplay loop is quite good and addictiv.

Yeah it's a niche genre. Started with Rogue in 1980 (hence rogue-lite/like) but really grew in popularity after Spelunky (2008) and Binding of Isaac (2011). Still pretty confined to smaller indie studios though we'll see what happens in the future with more roguelites such as Hades selling so well.

A few honorable mentions: "20XX": Basically a Mega Man X Roguelite with really solid gameplay. The sky levels just can f*ck off. ^^ "CRYPTARK": Planning your build and the route you take before taking down a space fortress is a lot of fun. "Immortal Redneck": An FPS with a "Rogue Legacy" upgrade system. Also, unlike "Rogue Legacy", you aren't forced into using a class you don't wanna use. "Lost Castle": A Beat-Em-Up light with coop. It's also way more forgiving than other roguelikes/roguelites. "Neon Chrome": One of my absolute favourite games with solid twin-stick-style gunplay. A negative thing would be, that a run can take up to 2 hours. "Psycho Starship Rampage": A side scrolling shmup where you can build your own spaceship. Sadly, it's a totally overlooked game and nobody talks about it. "A Robot Named Fight": "Super Metroid: The Roguelike" which is also really well made. "Starward Rogue": To me, it's much more fun than TBOIsaac. You won't end up with an extremely crazy build, but the gameplay is solid with a difficulty option for every type of gamer. "Streets Of Rogue": Clear different missions, but how you do it is up to you. Tons of chars, tons of mutators, weapons, unlocks, chaos... it's basically the best of the best when it comes to sheer fun and player control. Plus, it can be played in coop.
