I have been very active in the roguelites sub on Reddit, all the while really chafing at using Reddit as a platform. Their enshittification and moderation practices are increasingly dysfunctional and I’d love to find similar community around roguelite games here in the Fedi.

I’m fairly new to the genre — discovered Returnal in 2025 and since then have voraciously been playing as many of the classics AND the newest titles as I can get my hands on. I play on Playstation, and my favorites recently are:

  • Returnal

  • Astral Ascent

  • Inscryption

  • Spiritfall

  • Entropy Survivors

  • Soulstone Survivors

  • Brotato

  • Hades 1 & 2

  • Blazblue Entropy Effect X

  • Dead Cells

  • Night Swarm

  • Nuclear Throne

  • RoboQuest

  • Warriors Abyss

  • Enter the Gungeon

  • The Land Beneath Us

  • Downwell

  • Saros

  • Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Splintered Fate

  • Absolum

What about you — what are your favorites?

    Net.Attack() looks like a similar concept, a survivorslike where you build your attack upgrades like code blocks. I haven’t gotten far with it yet but excited to go further.

    I just got Pathologic and I already really like the combat and the way metaprogression comes in the form of building and perfecting a biological organism. Very polished and fun.
