      I'm looking forward to that video as someone who hates the definition of Roguelike as it spawned Roguelite and I feel like if we just redefined Roguelike we could finally drop the Roguelite term cause it's point is pretty much useless.

      @@ataronchronon well you aren't wrong, most things nowadays are rougelites, I'd say 95% is a fair estimate. That's the issue, the subgenre to the genre has way more entries than that of the non subgenre.
      Either we redefine what Roguelike is and call those that aren't roguelites, as you said proper or traditional rougelikes, and the rest is just roguelikes.
      Or we make roguelikes the subgenre or something I don't know.

    Great list, thanks for including Crab Champions- I completely agree with the placement, it's my first game and I've a LOT to improve on in pretty much every aspect before it can be in any way competitive- learning a lot with each update. I've made a large amount of balance changes for the next update that'll be out in the next month or so (I saw in another comment that you may check it out again so maybe worth holding off until that update is out before you do).
    My original goal was to allow players to completely break the game with the right combinations but there are a lot of ways this can happen too easily so a lot of the most common power spikes are harder to get in this update: I still am on the side of allowing the game to be broken over a super balanced game (as I think it's just more fun) but there are many ways to do that more effectively than I'm doing now. Lots of content planned for the next few years, early days still!
    P.S. Amazing work on your "What makes a good roguelike" video, you do a great job breaking down what makes the genre so good! I've been watching it on and off over the last few days and every section is packed with good stuff.

    Slay the Spire was my first deckbuilding roguelike, which ended up becoming my all-time favorite genre. I put about 200 hours into it while it was in early access and about another 70 after it left early access. Then about another 150 into the super-expansive Downfall mod that essentially provides a brand new gameplay experience on-par with the base game. It gave me the into to discover other fantastic games in the genre like Meteorfall: Krumit's Tale, Dicey Dungeons, Wildfrost, Into the Breach, and Slice & Dice, all of which are in my top 100 all-time favorite games.
    Despite its influence, I couldn't put Slay the Spire at the top of my list, as that honor has to go to Monster Train. While I totaled up around 400 hours into Slay the Spire including mods, Monster Train pulled me in for over 600 hours and still has my attention. It's one of the only roguelikes I can name that entices me to play it on its own without the thrill of progression. Perhaps more than any other game in its genre, it understands how important it is for a roguelike to have a dynamic early game that doesn't ask you to go through the motions until you reach the challenging part. Every part is the challenging part, and the finesse of the game's difficulty control is on the level of Hades.

    • @PoorEdward
      @PoorEdward ปีที่แล้ว +9

      Lol, we’re kind of the inverse. Ive played sts for over 600 hours and monster train closer to 300. I feel like when runs are doomed in monster train they’re a lot more tiresome, but I think the game has so many mechanics that the combinations and sheer replayability outmatch slay, yet at the same time I find slay’s gameplay loop more compelling and alluring.

    FYI, the true grandfather of roguelike deckbuilders is not Slay the Spire. Its actually Dream Quest. The guy behind it was such a design genius that he was instantly hired by blizzard afterwards to work on hearthstone. An insane guy, huge talent in design, mindblowing ideas. A literal masterpiece. Check it out. You will be surprised, even though the graphics are basic, the gameplay design and choices in it, the class variety is awe-inspiring and sublime to say the least. It will easily show you how slay the spire built upon it and got ideas from it. Of course slay the spire is the perfect evolution and game for the genre, but its nice to know the roots, when the roots are this amazing!
    Oh, and dream quest is BRUTAL keep it in mind. If you think you have played hardcore roguelike deckbuilders, think again! I have done everything in slay the spire including all achievements and dream quest is still up to this day probably the most brutal one I have played and one I want to go back to. The true final boss is bonkers in that game! Cheers!

    I find Hades to be really incredible and I played it all throughout early access from day one, but it’s lacking in the kind of long term replayability that games like Isaac, STS, and Gungeon have. Feels like once you’ve gotten through the story and leveled the weapon aspects that there’s really nothing left for you. You’re always fighting the same bosses, weapon aspects kind of lock you into a certain boon build path right from the jump, it’s always the same maps, and the limit of one weapon boon/one dash boon/etc. really hurts the crazy one more run to see what you can do feeling of other games. High A tier for me.

    • @TheBiomedZed
      @TheBiomedZed 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +8

      Agreed. The beauty of Hades is the action combat, but the systems behind the scenes are pretty barebones compared to say BOI which has so many variables that can alter a run at any given time. All Hades has is the weapons/buffs you go in with and the boons/upgrades you get during the run.

    The interesting thing about Darkest Dungeon is that it's actually easier to list the things you cannot control than it is to list the things you can control. The key to success is just game knowledge and once you have it it is quite easy to complete the game deathless consistently.
    The issue is that a lot of the information on various mechanics are buried in change logs or in the game files themselves which means that a lot of people don't get to see how everything works which makes the game feel more random. The nice thing is that the community as a whole has done a lot of work moving this information onto various wikis and hubs for the game. There are also many comprehensive community guides that cumulatively cover the entire game and all DLC, which is part of the reason that the game is still alive years later.

  • @LucyTheBox
    @LucyTheBox 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

    For the few games in this list that I have played personally:
    1:01 - 20 Minutes Till Down is indeed a middle-of-the-road game. Very enjoyable to play for a bit, but doesn't have much to set it apart. It's just your average solid roguelike.
    2:13 - I'm surprised Across The Obelisk managed to reach A tier, especially since this is judged from a singleplayer perspective. I'm definitely not complaining that it's so high, I really love the game myself, but while playing it alone, I always wished I had more people to play it with, because managing 4 decks of cards on my own felt pretty overwhelming
    7:51 - Backpack Hero has a pretty neat concept, but I noticed myself getting bored with the game pretty quickly and I didn't even know there were different characters in the game until I watched this video. So yeah, C-tier does reflect my own experience with the game
    36:03 - I'm surprised Darkest Dungeon is on this list, but the second game isn't. The second game is structured like a roguelike, meanwhile the first game is more of a campaign, the closest thing it has to the roguelike genre is the random levels and enemies. But yeah, the RNG during fights really holds this game back, and the cycle of playing for a few hours, leaving for a year and then coming back is very recognizable. I'd probably have put it in A-tier, but I do think B tier is perfectly reasonable.
    58:55 - FTL is really good, I agree that mods shouldn't be taken into account when ranking the game, but it's really hard not to take the multiverse mod into account as it feels really vanilla, and manages to expand on it a bunch. I'm tempted to put the base game in S as well, but it probably does belong in A tier, but if you can take the multiverse mod into account, it's an easy S-tier.
    1:09:30 - Hades is S-tier no question. Voice acting, Visuals, Gameplay, Story and Characters, this game manages to excel in all of them. This is a "Jack of all traits, Master of ALL".
    1:18:08 - I don't think I can really say much more about Inscryption than you've already said, because I really shouldn't spoil this game. Kaycee's Mod is worth mentioning tho, which, despite having "mod" in the name, is made by the devs, and allows you to enjoy the roguelike aspect of the game, without progressing the story. Inscryption as a whole does deserve S-tier, but not because it's a good roguelike, just because it's a good game.
    1:20:28 - Loop hero gains extra points in my eyes for having very unique mechanics and executing them really well. I also love the music of the game. For me, it's definitely A-tier, and it's the first game where I do disagree with the placement on this list (but I do understand why it's placed in B-tier).
    1:36:41 - I'm surprised Noita didn't make it to S-tier, it just has so much going for it. Secrets, depth, replay value, interesting concept. Noita has it all.
    1:42:40 - Whenever I see One Step From Eden, I get a warm, fuzzy feeling inside. Thinking about the game just always makes me happy, yet, there is no way I'd ever put it higher than the B-tier. It's weird how connected I feel to the game despite having played it way less than most other roguelikes, and me generally not being a fan of fast-paced games. The game has very good music, which is probably why Violet is one of my favorite bosses in all of gaming. Her moves follow the beat of the music, and her boss theme sounds amazing.
    1:48:12 - Wow, I'm really surprised to see Peglin in S-tier. To be fair, I've played a lot of Peglin myself as well and I have to admit that the concept just works. But still, S-tier?! Saying it's a random S-tier is very accurate. I really can't justify putting it higher than A tier for myself, because, unlike the other S-tiers, I really can't say this one is a masterpiece. But I can respect it, the game is quite addicting.
    2:03:52 - My thoughts on Rogue Tower are exactly the same. I love tower defense, I love roguelike, this game combines the 2 and has so much potential, but the tower upgrades don't feel very special. Also, small correction: you said it's a roguelike rather than a roguelite, but it has a bunch of permantent upgrades you can spend your money on in-between runs, so it definitely is a roguelite and I doubt it's beatable on your first run.
    2:21:15 - Shotgun King has an interesting concept, and it was fun for 1 run, but I got bored of the game extremely quickly and this is the only roguelike I've ever ended up refunding. D-tier for me. If you want a chess-based roguelike, I'd recommend The Ouroboros King. It more closely follows the rules of chess and has more variety than shotgun king does.
    2:29:01 - Ah yes, the classic, Slay The Spire. While I wouldn't put it above Hades personally, it's just a really solid, well-balanced, deckbuilding roguelike and the game that most new deckbuilding roguelikes base themselves on.
    2:58:02 - Vampire Survivors has no right being this good, just unlocking everything in the game gives you hours of content, and that's not even taking into account all the secrets. It has popularized the genre that's currently known as "bullet heaven" where instead of the enemies sending so many bullets at you that it's a hell to dodge, instead you're the one who is sending a bunch of bullets everywhere to keep yourself safe from the enemy. This honestly deserves an S-tier in my eyes.
    3:07:12 - I'm surprised to see Wildermyth on the list, as it can barely be considered a roguelike. I personally really like the game and would put it in A-tier, but not because it's a good roguelike, rather because it's just a good game. It'd be S-tier if it had more than just 3 very basic classes. To be fair, these classes can be pushed in different directions that play quite differently from each other, but whenever you get a new character, they always feel same-ey and you need to invest in them before they get their own unique playstyle.

    -Tiny Rogues is receiving a HUGE update on december, that will TRIPLE the content that is already in the game. The dev said yesterday that the amount of items in the game will go from 150 to 500; he's also adding alternative levels for each existing level, and a new set of secret levels that you can go after you beat the final boss, all new levels with their new respective bosses and enemies. If that was not enough, he said this update would be 0.2v or so, so if you trust in this dev's commitment (he's certainly hard-working), this would only be about 20-25% of the full game, which is an insane perspective.
    -Revita's dev recently announced on Twitter the update is no longer happening, apparently because of lack of support from its publisher or something related with hard-to-meet deadlines and so.
    -Another simple game with a ton of content (and it's about 70% completed in early access) is The Void Rains Upon Her Heart, a bullet hell shmup roguelite with an insane amount of achivements. Def one of my faves
    -Monolith is another recomendation, that I've seen commented already. Def one of the bests if you, again, like bullet hell/shumps. It has an update in the works for quite some time now, and maybe even a future DLC planned.

      Fantastic game, I still call it monolith! Though I think @PepperHeadGaming will agree, the upgrades don't change your play style, at all, it's hetic and you're constantly on the move with the dash bullet hell style, but the upgrades you're kinda chosing the one that fires the fastest with the most damage. REGARDLESS as a bullet hell game, one of my fave.

    I mostly agree with you, slay the spire being my lost played roguelike.
    But i think you should revisit and play Soulstone Survivor.
    The game is incredible and i feel like it did a lot of things better than Vampire Survivor gameplaywise.
    The skill having a lot of tag you can scale and build very different games.
    And since a few weeks/month they added a unique mechanics to every class and a skilltree to each character, so the meta progression is great.
    You also have the new rune system which add a lot of starting specializations with a lot of build defining runes.
    And you can combine all of this to have a great replayability !
    It's done by a small team and they deserve some visibility, so go play it !

    Lolz you kept referencing your previous video "What Makes A Good Roguelike/Roguelite?" but it's cool you did because I saw that video first then this one so that helped in understanding where you were coming from in your rankings. I haven't played many rough-lite games and recently started astral ascent which I really enjoyed. Where you placed that game, I can agree with and that made the other games ranked more trustworthy and I agree with the list. I intend to try out the other games also on A-tier, so great job and I hope you continue the great content!

  • @ganescus
    @ganescus ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Thanks for the long video and the roguelike recommendations! I generally agree with a lot of the tierlist - I would put some games a few tiers higher or lower (especialy crypt of the necrodancer, vault of the void and rogue legacy 2), but it's all pretty sensible.
    For vault of the void it might be kind of hard to get into, but I think it does a lot to minimize the feeling of losing a run because you drew a bad hand or because you were not given the right stuff, and it's in my top 3 favorites of the genrea. The threat system is basically that enemies do damage to you 1 turn later than normal, giving you another hand to draw and plan. You are also able to discard cards in hand for energy, which makes planning a turn pretty fun while also meaning that if you had a bad hand you can just stock up energy for next turn. It also feels pretty unique that at any time before a fight you can change your deck to fit the fight, as it is always 20 cards but also always customizable. It is also the kind of game that can get really nuts with the damage and synergies if you know what you are doing.
    As for some games that weren't mentioned - I was surprised you haven't played nova drift yet, since even though it's still in early access it has a ton of content. It has some of the best build creation out of any roguelike imo (20 minutes til dawn took some inspiration from it). The void rains upon her heart is also one of the best roguelike shmup games currently out there (still 100% positive on steam right now!). Monolith is amazing in the same genrea too. Also, into the breach is a really well designed game and got a major update recently from the makers of FTL. Ziggurat 2 is also one of the best FPS roguelikes, it improved a lot on the first game. Slice and dice is a really amazing roguelike strategy game. On a personal note, Synthetik 1 is my favorite action roguelike of all time, it just feels amazing when you get into it. Lastly, OTXO is basically roguelike hotline miami.

    great vid. skul the hero slayer is my favorite rogue-lite and i completely agree with what you said. ive played this game for such a long time and for so many hours and im still having fun with it. i think that the best thing about skul is that its starts as a rogue-lite but as you sink more time into the game and start to understand the ins and outs of it, it slowly becomes more of a sandbox rogue-lite. instead of trying to win you try to test new potential builds and get the strongest run possible. instead of just wanting to win you also want to win quickly and with style. and i believe that that is what makes the game so fun for such a long time

    A bit late here but One Step From Eden is my favorite rougelike of all time! Honestly I'm not a super big fan of the genre and only a few really stick out to me, though something about the gameplay is incredibly smooth and the sfx (and soundtrack) are a complete eargasm. It's a lot of trial and error like you said but learning the spells and figuring out which ones you enjoy using or not and building your ideal deck through a run is super fun!

  • @FiscalFiasco
    @FiscalFiasco ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Great video and list! Most games that I have played from it I would rank more or less the same - in fact, the highest tiered out of these games that I've played (StS, Hades, Dead Cells, Inscryption) I have in my top 10 of all time AND in the same order...
    I have two extra recommendations for fans of roguelike deckbuilders that are not on this list: Cobalt Core and Griftlands.
    Cobalt Core takes a LOT from StS but with very different playstyles and the addition of 2D navigation. This is an easy high A-tier for me, probably just above Roguebook.
    GL is a heavily story-based deckbuilder where you can resolve conflict with either your combat or your negotiation deck. The one detail that makes this not A but B-tier for me: a run takes a bit too long, often 3+ hours, which stifles the replayability.

    Just a heads up, you called Tangledeep a "top-down strategy board roguelike". That's actually what roguelikes were back in the day and what us old gamers now have to call traditional roguelikes since everyone else hijacked the genre term. Tile-based, turn based RPGs. I highly recommend checking out some more like Caves of Qud or Tales of Maj'eyal, especially if you're working on a video about the definition of a roguelike.

    • @happyboargaming

    Into the breach is also a very fun game that could be considered to be a kind of rougelike

      Agreed, I’ve had this game recommended to me many times throughout the years and I’ve been eager to try it out, just haven’t found the time yet. Going to be trying it out on my steam deck in just a few weeks ;)

    Was hoping to see brutal orchestra, it somewhat a really polished strategy roguelike. Great tier list so far ! I'll keep returning to this video to hear bit by bit your reviews !

    Another fun FPS Rogue would be Roboquest!!! Version 1.0 is coming super soon, been playing with a friend since Beta and EA, and we both joined the play test, love the game

    I do love Noita, and fully agree,
    What I think is my favorite moment is when I created a wand so powerful it could oneshot nearly anything, it did multiple damage types while casting a powerful spell every frame it collided with an enemy, and I could throw them out quite quickly.
    That on itself is not that special, however just as I beat one of the more annoying bosses, my wand ran out of mana, since some of the components where quite intensive, it does that a lot. However this time, it had just enough mana to cast all the relevant spells (about 500 or so mana) then however it lacked enough to cast the wand refresh (20 mana), so it dipped into the rest of the spells that where thrown on there randomly, mostly as storage. Turns out that the first castable spell (2 mana) is one that enables friendly fire in trade for damage. Of course this late game wand has 3 different ways to lock on targets, so I destroy the boss, with this wand I have been using for a good half hour now, and spontaneously explode.
    It took me a good 10 rewatches of the death replay and an hour of thinking before coming up with the idea that this is what happened.
    Noita 9/10, would not recommend to most people.
    the 40 min 2 hours or 2000 is a lie, I am at a comfortable 300 ish.
    Also shoutout to the very classic roguelike: Shattered pixel dungeon.

    Really good ranking list, not just for the ranking but as a nice overview of what's out there too!

    bro i love deadcells, but noita dificulty isn't ever close to enter the gungeon, noita is a WALK IN A PARK when you have one thing: KNOWLEDGE, i actly put noita above any game, but i totaly agree, when you don't know the tricks/tech you is just a litle insect, but learning will turn you into a ivunerable god, i love the game, but i was not able to see how this game is the pinacle of gaming is future... a physics roguelike, cud become a sandbox like minecraft, if one day someone create a sandbox survival with this physic quality but in 3D this game will MURDER all other games, will be a complete monopoly in the game industry, this isn't possible now with the tecnology of to day... but trust me, tecnology can change from water to wine in 5 years, if someone discover a super conductor we will have smartphones with quantun computers on it, there is also research of a new semiconductor that was areadly ben dicovered that can add 1000% more computing power to chips, they're seeking for cheaper substitute materials for this semiconductor, since the materials/elements of it to day cost a fortune

    Good list, I shall definitely need to check out a few of these games. I played the demo of peglin before its release and enjoyed it but then forgot about it, I think I''ll need to pick it up. I am also wishlisting Inscryption based on your recommendation. The biggest difference for me was your rating of Crypt of the Necrodancer and Heroes of Hammerwatch. For various reasons these are both High A tier games on my list
