Roguelike Games

I wouldn't have expected Balatro to pull me in as much as it did, but here I am. I wasn't sure which platform to get the game for since I do usually play quite a bit on my phone but thought the small screen would be annoying at times, so I got the game for my iPad - best decision I could have made. My hype for the game has "died down" a little in that I don't play the game for several hours on end, everyday like I used to when it released for mobile devices, but whenever I have some downtime and don't know what else to watch/listen to while cooking, for example, I'm watching Roffle. Really just such an amazing game.

And I'm all for it! Every month amazing new ones are coming out.

Finally, a new version of Golem has been published! You can find it here: https://surrealpartisan.itch.io/golem-a-self-made-person.

Hello roguelike Lemmy community. Was hoping somebody could convince me that TOME is possibly up my alley. I've tried playing it a bunch of times, but never really enjoy it, although it has raving reviews on steam. I feel like games like Caves of Qud and Brogue have spoiled me with amazing dungeons/caves to explore and TOME just feels....bland. I understand that it's a lot more combat focused, but even that feels like samey. Granted I haven't played too far into the game and probably need to get to later levels to really feel the strategy requirement. I guess I'm wondering... What merits does the game have OTHER than the combat? Do the dungeons feel unique at all or is it just random gen rooms with enemies littered everywhere?

So obviously I played Slay the spire and now I'm looking for more. Which game did you play in the genre that scratched that particular itch the best?
