DUGA is an awesome first-person shooter game with roguelike elements. Or at least, that’s what the game advertises. And it delivers.

It’s like a hybrid of DOOM and Wolfenstein with old-school pixel artwork and the basic and infamous UI overlay at the bottom of the screen. DUGA features some pretty awesome features that set it apart into today’s world.

For starters, the levels are procedurally-generated, which means you’ll never play the same level twice! It also has about two dozen weapons and a pretty smart AI system. The game’s best feature is the custom levels. You can create and upload your own levels and play creations by players online. It’s like DOOM all over again with its custom mods.

If you’re looking for some awesome fast-paced retro FPS gameplay, try out DUGA!

Godhunters is an awesome DOOM-like roguelike FPS that has you shooting down monsters and earning cash to unlock more powerful guns to shoot them down again!

It plays in a series of matches. You start out being randomly dropped into a map sprawling with monsters, loot, and a few points of interest. You can run around looking for chests in order to get some weapons and upgrades or you can find some points of interests like fountains, buildings, statues, and others that all help you out. But they’re guarded by monsters so you should get some guns first from the chest and upgrade your gear before securing one down.

You can also find gems, which is the currency of choice in Godhunters. You need to use them to upgrade weapons, and stack upgrades until you beefed up. But even then, the game is still VERY difficult. You currently play in a single level- the forest. There are a few bosses also, but it’s enough to keep you busy.

You start out as a scrub- weak with no upgrades and no gear. You need to get some weapons and loot them up and get some upgrades so you can do things like increase HP regen, faster movement, speed, poison shots, and other stuff that you’ll need in order to beat the game.

It’s a roguelike, so you need all the help you can get. You get a basic map and some basic UI and then you’re thrown into a dark forest with a pistol. It feels like a DOOM spin-off where you just have nonstop action but you can’t get killed or else it’s game over. if you like fast-paced FPS, try out Godhunters! Try it out now!

IzoProject is an awesome top-down Gauntlet-style ARPG where you need to defend yourself against hordes of zombies.

It’s a game that you can play cooperatively with a friend as you team up to use skills and spells against waves of zombies. The game looks similar to Diablo but has a mix of Gauntlet fused into it.

You can choose a character class and then use their unique skillset and playstyle to fight against the zombs. You can pick from a Warrior, Archer, Wizard, and Generalist. Each has its own pros/cons. It’s fun to team up with a buddy and have a strong offense/defense when you combine classes.

The game has you playing in a monster maze but there’s a catch- you can’t escape. You need to survive the waves as long as possible in this dungeon roguelike. The goal is to get a high score, but the game is pretty cool because it’s nonstop action with each wave getting more difficult. It has plenty of loot to collect, skill cooldown, and fast-paced action!

You can sign up for the beta using the following link. It’s one you don’t want to miss out on if you like nonstop zomb action.

Stoneshard is an awesome and addicting top-down dungeon crawler.

You explore many different caves and dungeons filled with crawling monsters in a procedurally-generated world. It seems like this format is a lot more popular nowadays because it gives players a unique adventure every time. The game plays similar to Diablo and Darkest Dungeon, where you play as a mercenary who’s out to take down a tyrant king and help establish peace to Aldor.

You’ll crawl dungeons, explore various lands, and fight tons of monsters. You’ll also get rewarded handsomely with plenty o’ loot to go around and also get a group of followers who’ll help you out along your quest. This is a pretty cool feature that not many of these games have and something I’d like to see more of. The game is difficult, so you’ll need as much help as you can get.

Stoneshard is currently in early access with just a prologue and about 2 hours of gameplay. The game’s lore, storyline, and artwork make it seem like an old-school classic that’ll have you nostalgic for days. The combat system is easy to learn, but also very strategic gameplay elements and a lot of equips that’ll help you on your adventure. The Caravan of allies is awesome and you can expand your following as you progress.

Your character also will have to deal with traumas that can only be fixed with drugs. The game also has meters for food and water, upgradable and customizable characters, and over 100 weapons to draw.

If you’re looking for an addicting, polished, and awesome roguelike dungeon crawler, try out Stoneshard. It’s one of the most appealing and simplistic yet addicting roguelikes I’ve come across recently. Definitely worth a play if you like dungeon crawlers with older style artwork that’ll remind you of the good times.

You can also check out their Kickstarter if you want to help out the devs.

Duster is a steampunk Wild West adventure game that has that old-school top-down perspective like in the Atari days.

You play as a random dude and you’re running across the desert with various areas that are procedurally-generated. There are towns that let you heal up, but pretty much everything else will kill you. You’ll run into bandits, robots, animals, and even lawmen all scouring around for someone to kill (you). You can encounter weather conditions like frostbite or even get killed by sunburn or food poisoning. The game resets when you get slaughtered. The game makes it very tense when you need to watch out for nearly everything under the sun.

The primary objective of the game is to find and take over the richest goldmine in the land, but you need to work your way out there by buying tools and earning cash. You can do this by shifting minerals, mining for gold, doing quests, and even killing outlaw bandits and getting rewarded so you can upgrade yourself!

The game has six different classes to choose from with unique attributes. You should get some cash fast to buy ammo and a gun when you start so you can stretch out your time before you get killed and need to restart again.

Duster features some neat artwork and is definitely worth a play. It’s a roguelike that’s truly unique.

Wizard of Legend is an awesome old-school 2D dungeon crawler that’ll have you nostalgic for the classics.

It’s a game where you aim to be the best wizard and get as powerful as you can by using unique abilities and their own attacks. you can choose from a few different selections of wizards and each has their own spells which you’ll have to master in order to progress.

Wizard of Legend is a simple and straightforward dungeon crawler like you’d expect. It has the fast-paced combat complete with lots of sprites, eye-candy spells, and plenty of monsters and gore. It’s no button masher either. You have to time your attacks and you know your opponent’s weakness in order to efficiently kill them.

Upgrade your gear and buy new items. Slash monsters. Earn XP and cash. It’s just like playing the best dungeon crawlers without the fluff.

Use your moves wisely and power up your character to unleash devasting attacks and spells.

The dungeons are also procedurally-generated as well. The game features some gorgeous pixel art with nonstop monster-slaying action as you explore huge dungeons.

Wizard of Legend is playable using any browser and run by Unity. Check it out using the link below and get your dungeon crawling on. The game is complete, but you can still play the demo using or purchase the full game. It was recently released.

Roulette Knight is an addictive little roguelike RPG.

It’s a game where you need to collect loot and unlock special abilities while you explore a medieval kingdom. You play as a knight who needs to explore the kingdom by earning XP and cash.

The experience is used for unlocking perks like HP regeneration or increasing your ability to dodge bullets. Cash can be used to buy new equipment like protective gear and bigger guns. You’ll need to use both as you explore new areas because the game gets a lot more difficult as you progress.

Why?

Becuase you need to constantly not have your knight get shot. It’s all about using your skills and abilities as well.

The map is laid out like a grid. You need to beat a few rounds of plain old Russian Roulette in order to continue exploring. You can load up your gun with as many bullets as you want.

Each bullet you add gets you more cash per shot. But if you do get shot, you’ll lose some HP. You need to balance out your shots and HP in order to beat the game. If you get too many shots, he may get killed. There’s also the chance of the gun doing a critical shot as well!

You need to explore the kingdom, get cash and experience, and then upgrade your stuff and abilities in order to finally get to the end. The game will throw in some crazy modifiers that can really screw you over. So be careful!

Roulette Knight combines traditional RPG elements you’re used to like getting experience and cash and exploration. But at the same time, you need to play Russian Roluteete. It’s a very weird combo, but it’s addicting at the same time and keeps you going. The game has plenty to explore and lots of things to unlock and upgrade also.

You don’t know how far you can get in this epic adventure before you shoot yourself. So play it and find out.

Welcome to Roulette Knight! Play it using the link below and try it out! You’ll get addicted.

HVNTRS is an awesome retro co-op roguelike dungeon-crawler that takes place in a post-apocalyptic world (is that the trend nowadays?).

The story, in a nutshell, is that the Hellbeatss have broken loose and these monsters turn human men into monsters as well- kind of like a zombie infection. Half of humanity has already been transformed into these vampiric creatures.

Now, there’s only a small group of stronghold shelters to save the remaining humans from the scavenging beasts. And there’s even smaller few who want to take the reigns and control the survival of humanity for just another day.

They’re the Hellbeast and Vampire Neutralization and Tactical Removal Squad- the HVNTRS! (That’s you.)

Team up with up to 3 of your friends and play through this roguelike dungeon-crawler together with local couch co-op multiplayer. The game takes perspective in a top-down view with nonstop monster-bashing action. It’s like a very simple and basic retro version of The Binding of Isaac or Gauntlet or something. But the game takes place in a turn-based strategy fashion. It’s very interesting.

The game has you attacking enemies by “bumping” into them. You’ll automatically attack using whatever item is your primary equip. If you have a melee item, you can attack in a specific direction by holding the item hotkey. If you just press the key, you’ll “queue” the item to be used. When an item is used, it automatically becomes your primary main-hand item. It’s kinda confusing, but you get used to it quickly. It reminds me of older cabinet arcade games. The control scheme is similar.

You can also lob projectiles as well by pressing the “throw” key. This is useful for mobs of monsters that you know is suicide if you get up close and personal, or if you prefer to keep some distance.

You can also find items all over the map that you can use to quickly swap out your current item. They each have different advances and using the right weapon at the right time is crucial.

So you select your weapon, attack, and direction. And then you make your move. You need to work strategically with your friends in order to progress. Team up on the same enemy to take it down quickly (priority threats) or strategically position yourself to take care of another enemy. Or do something else altogether. It’s like if Baldur’s Gate were turn-based.

The game has tons of items to use, each that grants stats (or takes them away) like robes, daggers, armor, etc. You’ll have to position yourself and play the right role according to your equips.

You play with your friends and queue up at the same time. If one of you goes outside of the screen, the game will assume that person has been queued. Once all players are done selecting their queues, the game will progress.

The only goal is to make it to the end of the dungeon and kill the Hellbeast. That’s it. But it’s a lot more difficult than that. You’ll have to work cooperatively with your friends in order to get past the treacherous dungeon first!

HVNTRS is an awesome indie dungeon-crawler with gorgeous artwork. The art is super simple, but very immersive o the point where you have to use your imagination to see what’s going on. It’s basic, but very effective. The strategic gameplay is a nice touch that makes it stand out from run and gun dungeon-crawlers. If you like strategy games, HVNTRS is a must play. Gather 3 of your Hellbeast-slaying friends save what’s left of humanity!

Atomic Heist is a 2D space shooter with a dungeon crawling experience. Does that make sense?

It’s a top-down shooter but you crawl dungeons. You explore new levels that are procedurally generated so they’re fresh.

You’ll have to blast through baddies, grab powerups, upgrades, and other goodies to beat the levels. You can also get a selection of spaceships (including unlockables), weapons, and modifiers to boost your ship, weaken enemy ships, or even affect your loot.

You need to stop the enemies from building the ultimate doomsday device.

Atomic Heist is both an arcade shooter and a dungeon crawler, so you get elements from both genres. You have limited ammo and it’s very easy to take damage if you don’t dodge enemy fire or have quick reflexes. It’s a tough game, but very rewarding.

If you like arcade shooters, especially space ones, check out Atomic Heist. It’s a new indie game and it’s awesome.
