Enter the Gungeon is possibly the puniest top-down dungeon crawler you’ll ever come across. Centered around a mystical gun which can kill time, it's the kind of game you’ll love if you’re a fan of games like The Binding of Isaac or Nuclear Throne. If you’re not a fan of remarkably difficult shooters, Enter the Gungeon probably isn’t for you. The crux of Enter the Gungeon is that as either a Marine, a Pilot, a Convict or another interchangeable player character, you have to shoot your way through the Colt (cult) of the Gundead (undead). That first pun is one that I’m surprised developers Dodge Roll missed – the credit for the rest of the puns goes entirely to them, however. Anyway, the gunpocalypse has happened and there’s a legend that the gungeon (dungeon) you’re about to enter holds a mystical gun that can kill time and undo whatever you want to undo. Sure, it’s not the strongest story in the world, but then most people don't play these kinds of games for a strong narrative, do they?
With the industry filled with oversaturated FPS titles doing little in the name of innovation, indie developers show us what true games are.
I still have to finish Little Nightmares, but so far the art is enjoyable and the environmental storytelling is entertaining.
IGN : Ask three different video game fans to define what a “Roguelike” is, and chances are, you’re likely to get three very different responses: One might say "Oh yeah, those are like that game with the sexy greek gods!" Another might reply "No, you idiot, Hades is a Rogue-LITE. A roguelike is a game like Spelunky." And another still might slam their hands on the table and shout, "The reason why they're called rogueLIKES is because they're LIKE the 1980s dungeon crawler rogue. None of those games are roguelikes at all!"
I’ll have to agree with a comment below that Binding of Isaac is my top, but thank you for 3 recommendations that I’ve never heard of to appease my addiction. @atom666, I’ll try and see what Hades is all about as welll ☺️
My daughter and I had a blast with Rogue Legacy - our favorite by far.
We also enjoyed Undermine which I didn't see make this list unfortunately.
To me Binding of Isaac is the GOAT. No two runs in that game feel the same. The unlimited combinations of item synergies is still something no game has been able to match.
Microsoft has added touch control support for several Xbox Game Pass titles for Android, including The Walking Dead and Enter the Gungeon.
