Find your kind of run
Choose how you want to play.
A shared run structure can feel very different in your hands. Hades centers on direct combat; Slay the Spire builds battles around cards; Balatro turns poker hands into scoring combinations. Explore those differences without losing the wider collection.
What resets? A failed run usually resets much of the current attempt. Generated layouts, changing rewards, or new combinations make the next attempt different.
What persists? Some games carry upgrades, unlocks, or story progress between attempts. Others emphasize learning and mastery. A roguelike label alone does not tell you which.
Groups can overlap. Slower play does not necessarily mean lower difficulty. Explore roguelikes and roguelites together →

Best reviewed blends the source score with rating volume. Release order is oldest first, and A–Z is title order. Unusually high scores with very small samples are treated as uncorroborated outliers until more players weigh in.

Why these games appear
How entries qualify
Run-based play with procedural variation and substantial reset on failure.
Include when
Runs use procedural or variable content and substantial failure reset, with the run itself—not only persistent upgrades—as the main progression unit.
Leave out when
Do not use Roguelike for every randomized game; persistent-progression-first games belong under Roguelite when that is the dominant structure.
