Dead Cells

A challenging hack-and-slash platformer featuring branching levels, formidable bosses, and a deep, rewarding experience. Regular updates keep its fantastical world fresh and engaging.

Out There

A space exploration game where you're stranded and must find your way home. Expect frequent deaths, but each failure provides valuable lessons for future cosmic adventures.

Road Not Taken

A refreshing change from the often-gloomy roguelikes. Road Not Taken offers a fairytale-like atmosphere and beautiful environments. Part puzzle, part adventure, entirely amazing.

NetHack

A mobile port of a classic roguelike. It may take time to master the controls, but this blast from the past is well worth the effort.

Desktop Dungeon

A sprawling dungeon crawler with a city-building element. Highly immersive and endlessly engaging.

The Legend Of Bum-bo

From the creators of The Binding Of Isaac, this roguelike features a similar aesthetic but a distinct combat system. Command a Bum-bo and utilize deck-building skills to progress. An Android port of Binding Of Isaac would be fantastic!

Downwell

A fast-paced, downward-scrolling shooter featuring gun-equipped shoes and menacing bats. A highly recommended title.

Death Road to Canada

A road trip roguelite filled with zombies, quirky characters, and vehicles. Difficult, exciting, and humorous. Offers countless scenarios and characters.

Vampire Survivors

A top-tier roguelike. The addictive gameplay is matched by the developer's commitment to a fair and enjoyable experience, including a self-published Android port to prevent exploitative monetization.
