Crimson Moon is shaping up to be one of those action RPGs that can eat an entire weekend before you even realize what happened. ProbablyMonsters is throwing together brutal Souls-like combat, roguelike replayability, a dark high-Renaissance setting, and a heavy metal soundtrack into a game about a Nephilim tearing through a city crawling with vampires,…
There are games you play once, enjoy, and eventually forget. Then there are games that somehow stick around in your head years later. Moonlighter was one of those games for me. The original Digital Sun title had a ridiculously simple pitch: go into dangerous dungeons, collect valuable loot, come home, open your shop, and sell…
There are very few indie franchises that have stayed in my memory as vividly as Hand of Fate. The original games weren’t perfect, but they had a personality that almost no other roguelike managed to capture. Sitting across the table from the Dealer, watching cards flip one by one while wondering whether the next encounter…
The arrival of the Guildrun Demo on Steam instantly grabbed my attention for one simple reason—it doesn’t feel like another auto-battler trying to copy the latest multiplayer trend. Instead, Leyline has built something that rewards experimentation, adaptation, and clever decision-making over memorizing a competitive meta. After spending plenty of time exploring the demo, it became…
The first thing that surprised me about Guildrun wasn’t the combat. It was how quickly the game convinced me to stop thinking in terms of fixed classes. Most autobattlers quietly push players toward a handful of predictable strategies. You usually know which tank belongs in front, which carry belongs in the back, and which support…
If you open Steam charts in late June 2026 and don’t blink twice, you’ll think something is broken. A 12-year-old indie roguelike about a sobbing kid escaping into a demon-infested basement is suddenly sitting shoulder-to-shoulder with today’s biggest live-service giants. And not just “doing fine” — we’re talking about a wild spike past 120,000+ concurrent…
I’ve been streaming roguelikes and deck-builders for years, and I can confidently say one thing: when a sequel to a genre-defining game drops into Early Access, the entire community loses its mind. That’s exactly what happened with Slay the Spire 2. I’ve spent a lot of hours with the original game on stream, watching chat…
I’ve been streaming roguelikes for years now, and I can tell you right away—Slay the Spire 2 doesn’t feel like a normal Early Access launch. It feels like a live ecosystem that’s constantly changing under your feet. Every run I do on stream, chat is already arguing about balance changes, new synergies, and whether the…
I’ve been sinking way too many hours into Slay the Spire 2 co-op lately, and I’ll be honest — I didn’t expect multiplayer to feel this different. I thought it would just be “two solo runs side by side,” but it’s not. It’s more like two players sharing one brain… and arguing with it every…
I’ve been following Slay the Spire 2 pretty closely, and I’ll be honest—Quest Cards are one of those mechanics that immediately changes how you feel about a run. Not just how you play it. There’s a difference. In the original game, events were usually simple: take a curse for gold, heal or skip, risk or…
