Getting into DCSS a lot recently. Still just running Minotaur Berserker with the furthest I've made it being the 10th floor aha.

Regardless, really enjoying it and wondering if others have any other recommendations. I tried ToME4 and just felt overwhelmed and wasn't enjoying myself too much.

Have my eyes of Caves of Qud as well. Love the more "literary" aspect to it (even though I know it's often nonsense), and the atmosphere/setting. Seems to be highly regarded overall though. Wondering if I should buy it and play alongside DCSS.

This is a little bit of a deep cut, but the roguelike add-on to Remnant From the Ashes honestly slaps if you enjoy the core gameplay loop. (The pitch is "Dark Souls with guns," which is like 70% accurate.) High quality 3rd person gunplay, awesome abilities, fun enemies, wacky builds, beautiful maps.

EDIT. Remnant is on sale for $13 on Steam! A very good deal, esp. with Remnant 2 coming out this year!

Darkest Dungeon is also great if you like oppressive horror vibes.

Darkest Dungeon is a game I keep coming back to. Long story short, it's a roguelike where you send a group of four heroes into a dungeon and you fight lovecraftian horrors there. It's also really well narrated!

Everspace 1 and 2 are both solid games if you like space exploration and ahooting!

Just a note that in Everspace 2, they shed the whole procedurally generated aspect, but they're both still phenomenal games!

Inscryption is pretty great. It's like a horror card game.

I've always enjoyed roguelikes but never really been able to spend a lot of time with a single one until Risk of Rain. It's my absolute go-to.
