Can’t decide on which game to buy during the “Going Rogue” event? Here are our picks

As we’ve reported yesterday, the “Going Rogue” event is currently ongoing, featuring a wide variety of roguelite games, as well as games from the roguelike, souls-like, and metroidvania genres, all of which are on sale.

With all of these amazing games on a discount at the same time, it’s understandable that picking the right game or games could be hard, especially if you’re on a tight budget. Luckily, we’re here to help you out!

To help you decide which game you should pick, Puppeht, Kinix, and yours truly, have listed 5 of our picks on which games you should pick up. We’ve also added a tiny description of each game so you’ll have a little bit of an idea about the game.

My Picks

Can't decide on which game to buy during the "Going Rogue" event? Here are Cerebro's picks
  • Dead Cells – This is a no-brainer. It’s one of the best roguelite games of all time, and if you have an opportunity to get it on sale, you should grab it!
  • FTL – I feel like this game has been overlooked with the influx of great roguelite games, including Into the Breach from the same developer. But make no mistake, FTL is a masterpiece of a game and one of the first highly-rated roguelite games out there, and for $2.49, that is a big steal!
  • Battle Bands – This game has only been released a little over a month ago, but it has become one of my favorite roguelite deckbuilders out there. It’s a surprisingly deep game that can be played solo or multiplayer.
  • Cavity Busters – Another game that’s recently released, but looks incredibly promising. Don’t let the wacky exterior fool you because this game is deep!
  • The Last Spell – One of the more unique roguelites out there, your mission is to defend your town from a MASSIVE horde of monsters in this TBT game.

Puppeht’s Picks

Can't decide on which game to buy during the "Going Rogue" event? Here are Puppeht's picks
  • Slay the Spire – Arguably one of the most influential roguelites available. Set off a revolution in deck-building roguelites. If you don’t already have this, you need to buy it.
  • Enter the Gungeon – Another bread and butter roguelite. Beautiful pixel art, stellar gameplay, and lots of bullets.
  • Guild of Dungeoneering – Incredible deck-builder roguelite with great music. $12 is a great price.
  • Moonlighter – Moonlighter is a steal for $5. A great mix-up between a dungeon-crawler roguelite and shop simulator.
  • Pawnbarian – Chill puzzle roguelite about chess. Still gets updates and has lots of difficulty scaling.

Kinix’s Picks

Can't decide on which game to buy during the "Going Rogue" event? Here are Kinix's picks
  • Crypt of the Necrodancer – This one-of-a-kind roguelite where all your actions are tied to the beat is one of my favorite games ever made.
  • Starward Rogue – A true combination of shmup bullet hell and roguelike elements, a hidden gem well worth checking out.
  • City of Brass – Ever wondered what Spelunky would be like in first-person? Find out in this Arabian FPS roguelite.
  • TumbleSeed – Control a ball-shaped seed with nothing but a balance beam and try to cleanse the mountain in this unique roguelite.
  • Hyperspace Dogfights – Pilot a ship using only thrusters and rockets and take out hundreds of enemy ships with satisfying combat and tons of run variety.
