A very strange roguelike I'd recommend is caves of qud. It's a more traditional roguelike featuring very simplistic graphics and animations, but it is a lot of fun and the way gameplay works can be compared to DnD combat. The most fun part of the game in my opinion is creating crazy builds in character creation and seeing how they play out, as building a character involves mish-mashing different crazy mutations together. Some of these include: having an extra pair of arms, the ability to phase through walls, the ability to project your mind into an enemy and use any skills that they have, the ability to fucking quicksave using a mutation called "precognition" which lasts for several turns before asking whether you want to go back to the quicksave or remain in the timeline you created, and more wacky shit like that.

One thing about Isaac is you can break it open completely to the point that RNG has no influence. There is a reason people have 1000+ consecutive successful runs. It has so much content that it is hard to really see it all, and see all the polish and puzzle pieces lining up, which is why I can understand people not giving it the title of best roguelike- they just havent seen all there is to offer, and its honestly unreasonable to expect people to see it all.

The only thing i don't agree with is the "heavy rng" in Isaac. Yes, you can get bad items but the game has so many mechanics that you will always have multiple ways to acquire items and basically negate all luck factor. A skilled player will win 99% of the time unless the 1% of the time where you get worst bosses back to back and 30 quality 0 items back to back which will probably happen once every couple of months. But even then, base stats and some bombs are all you need to beat the game. It's not rare to see winstreaks of hundreds, if not thousands. Which basically means you can get hundreds of consistent runs with success and therefore the rng is never a factor you absolutely need to depend on. As you unlock alternate routes, items and options, you'll always have a reliable way to save even the unluckiest runs. The game is huge.

No i-frames, enemies can be relentless and a group of small guys can just hitstun you to death, barely any healing, didn't even tell you what relics did what until you purchased them. It was a very rough and unfriendly design but man once you get past that initial hurdle and you just 'get' the game, this game is phenomenal, the action is insanely heart pumping and challenging, hundreds of unique spells and relic combos to keep runs fresh. I think it's definitely the type of game that gets better and better the more you give to it, probably why it has such a niche but dedicated fanbase. imo in terms of combat, it stands above any other roguelike I've ever played (dead cells, hades, etc.)

When talking to him again, he will offer you other, as long as you want i think(didn't test his limit). -Dodge roll are love, dodges are life and best defensive skill. Jumps are almost useless, since there are no platforms in game. -Talk to cat a lot, you won't regret :3 -Melee weapons has both damage stat scaling, so choose wisely items you wanna take/buy. -unlocking most of necronomicon entries is your priority.

Only one I disagree with is Darkest Dungeon. I'm not really a fan of turn based games outside of the odd card game but DD is an amazing game imo. The art, music, and atmosphere alone is just.. unmatched by anything else on the list imo, except _maybe_ hades.

Great tier list, glad you put monster train in s+ it's so so good. My ideal game would be a roguelite 3rd person shooter where you stack passive but it's like vampire surviors where there is millions of enemies spawning. Exploration to find new items and each character has different skill trees which play off the passive items. Items also change your appearance so you can look totally decked out

Have you tried Streets of Rogue yet? The game is about doing missions in a procedurally generated city where you have to utilize various weapons, bombs, potions, gadgets, people and many other stuff to complete missions. The game is very hard to describe because its one of a kind game for me. Most players compare it with Deus Ex but I haven't played that so, I don't know how similar it is.

Nuclear Throne was also my first Roguelike :) Then came The Binding of Isaac. Two really good games, which I have played way too much. I just want to say that your sentence describes Nuclear Throne almost perfectly: "You could have won, if you knew what you were doing." There are, for me, no bad runs. The Mutations maybe are not the ones I wanted but you can almost everytime get to the throne if you have the experience. Definitely recommended.

Hades is my #1 mainly because of the narrative and the characters but Dead Cells remains my favorite rogue like in terms of gameplay. I just love the variety of equipment, enemies and biomes.

The art style might be the best part. The weakest part of Isaac is the slippery movement and no real combat abilities like a roll. It’s not super tight and that’s a turn off personally. But it nails the art style which was essentially the Newgrounds style, also the roguelike randomness and creativity is top notch

Never finished a run tho, final boss is a bit too hard for me if I remember correctly. I should try it again some day.

Enter the Gungeon the best there is. A gift to humanity. The guns alone, a Weapon's Museums in eternity. The Bosses close to perfection. I really believe EtG is the most underrated video game ever made. Not just as an indie or a roguelike. Dead Cells could have been up with it, if only the Bosses were not so forgettable. Great top tier list though, every man has his own taste.

I definitely dont think its S tier but definitely better than the ones I've played that you have in A tier.

Enter The Gungeon for me is an S+ for sure. But the game takes a while to show you what it's made of. The amount of weapons and synergy possibilities is massive and as you progress beyond half of the game. Many secrets and mysteries are showing up and making us really curious. Every time I found out how a secret worked I felt extremely rewarded. For me the game shines in being fun, difficult and extremely cohesive with all the created world proposal. The creativity of secret bosses, the rewards of experimenting with synergy possibilities between items, and the challenge of taking on all the bosses in the game kept me engaged after finally understanding the game's hook and why the community loves it so much. Going blind in enter the gungeon is kind of tricky. Because the game really only starts to show its tricks after a certain period of dedication to the game. But I say that the experience is well worth it in general.

Yooo Noit in s tier nice! For me personally it's definitely S+ considering the insane amount of depth there is to it. I completely understand anyone who puts it in S or lower though since it is extremely punishing and takes lots of patience before you understand how to counter all the unfair rng elements. Catch on fire? Water bottle. Not enough gold? Tablet kick. Didn't get the tinker with wands everywhere perk? Lots of creative ways to escape the temple without triggering collapse and coming back later to edit your wands! But yea, it takes long to learn that stuff and the game doesn't tell you anything either. Imo totally worth it though, 10/10 would get Noita'd again!

I tried Enter the Gungeon recently and it can be fun, but its not as rewarding as it is punishing. The gun rng drop is horrible, ive died like 20 times in a 10hr playthrough and can recall each gun ive used on my hand for a game with such a huge list of options. Also the shop/item purchasing is so frustrating, unless you pick Pilot (at least for me) I've only been able to afford a single item each run. Frequently beat the first chamber boss, but the lack of preparing properly before boss rooms and shop buys always causes me a run. Sometimes they sell what u need but its too expensive, sometimes (playing as Pilot) you can afford what u need but they have none of it. Also the shopkeeper can kill you, it would sound funny at first until you're just trying to unwind/have fun and he auto resets you for emptying a clip on the walls. 🤣 Edit: just an update, i cant say how much hours ive put in now but ive successfully Killed the Hunters Past. It was grueling and long but worth it, the game isnt that bad it just seems to reward a good player. I dont have a gamepad just keyboard so its extra hard at least to me, so i found actually managing to clear one character after all that time getting that bullet super tedious
