2024 has been an amazing year for roguelikes

Summary

Nutrition label

63% Informative

The roguelike genre has turned from a relative niche into something much bigger.

Balatro was undoubtedly one of, if not the, best games of the year .

Hades II is shaping up to be a worthy successor to Hades .

Windblown takes a lot of what makes Dead Cells great and translates it to 3D.

Vampire Survivors got two major crossover DLCs that I want to dig into: one with Contra and one with Castlevania .

I particularly appreciate how they’re generally more digestible than blockbuster epics. Next year has some promising roguelikes like Slay the Spire 2 and Hyper Light Breaker , but I know I’ll be returning to a lot of 2024 ’s excellent roguelikes over and over again — well, after just one more round of Balatro ..
