The title says it all...

1. Halls of Torment

Halls of Torment is a fast-paced survival game with a dark fantasy setting and Diablo-inspired visuals. You choose from different heroes and fight through massive hordes of monsters while collecting experience, upgrading abilities, and finding powerful gear.

This is THE GAME that got me into the genre, long before it even had a name. Some people like to call it "bullet heaven" or "survivors-like" (named after "Vampire Survivors" game that pioneered the genre), but I like to call it "horde survivor", because that's exactly what this game is about. You survive waves after waves of enemies just to go again when you complete the stage.

I was so obsessed with this game that I decided owning it on PC was not enough, I had to get it for my phone.

Fast forward few weeks and my phone is in repair shop for battery replacement.

2.DRG: Survivors

Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor is a horde survivor game set in the universe of Deep Rock Galactic. You play as a lone dwarf sent into the dangerous depths of the planet Hoxxes, fighting massive swarms of alien creatures while mining rocks and minerals.

This game often flies under the radar when people talk about Roguelike games, but this is an absolute gem of a game that I've spent countless hours on it, relaxing and having fun.

It recently got a mobile port and ofc I had to own it.

3.Slay the Spire & Slay the Spire 2

Slay the Spire is a deck-building game where you climb a mysterious tower while fighting enemies through turn-based card battles. Along the way, you collect new cards, discover powerful relics, upgrade your deck, and make strategic choices that shape every new run that you make.

As a Magic: The Gathering fan this one really scratches the itch when it comes to card and deck-building games.

Although, the second part of the game doesn't have official mobile port like it's predecessor, you can work your way around it by downloading fan-made launchers for your phone (you still need to own a Steam version of the game)

Picking "The Silent" for a screenshot isn't just a mere coincidence, because she's my favorite and most played character. POISON DAMAGE GOES BRRRRRRRRR

4. FTL: Faster Than Light

FTL: Faster Than Light is a space-themed roguelike where you command a spaceship and its crew on a desperate mission to deliver crucial information to the Federation. You must travel through randomly generated star systems, fight enemy ships, manage your crew, upgrade your ship, and make difficult decisions along the way.

I mean, you gotta mention FTL when talking about Roguelike games, it's classic , right?

You know the game is going to be good when people are trying to use the math to prove things.

My favorite trivia about this game is that it got recommended to me by WoW guildie with literal brain damage.

5.The Binding of Isaac

The Binding of Isaac is a dark and chaotic roguelike dungeon-crawler inspired by the biblical story of Isaac. You explore randomly generated rooms, fight strange and grotesque enemies, collect bizarre items, and battle powerful bosses.

Some people have described this game as disgustingly looking at best. But I need to disagree, give it a few more hours you either become hooked or hate it.
