Have you ever played an ATARI 5200? If so, you’re in for a healthy dose of nostalgia. If not, you’re in luck because Hack, Slash, Loot (HSL) will give you a vibe that it is paying homage to the 1980’s and you’ll get to visit the ghost of gaming’s past. This independently developed game radiates dated 80’s technology from the sound effects and visuals to the very theme itself.

"What is a rogue-like? As steam user jamesbuc puts it.
Essentially its a dungeon crawler with random elements abound from random rooms, random enemies and even random item effects. They are tough as hell and often only for real fanatics.
So sharpen your knifes and stockpile those arrows for humble bundle presents The Humble Roguelike Weekly Sale featuring Six roguelike games . Which offer ridiculous entertainment if you’re into roguelike’s. While this may not cater to the masses, instead focuses on a niche and addicting experience for room based looters. So If you are someone who dislikes permadeath, random levels and cruel difficulty, and a lack of story you might want to skip the pack."
Hardcore Gamer: For $2, you get Unemployment Quest, The Siege of the Mecromancer, Hack, Slash, Loot, Styrateg, Inaria, Dungeon Fray, Frayed Knights, and Empires and Dungeons 2
