Gold-Plated Games

Roguelikes seem to be the featured flavor in these Weeklong Deals, offering discounts on several titles we’ve covered over the last few Roguemases. There are a few platformers, puzzlers, and hidden object games mixed in there as well, so I’ll call this one a win for the forces of bargain hunters. As for reviews this week, look forward to coverage of new releases like Totally Accurate Battle Simulator and Islanders, because after last week’s streams I’m pretty well in love with both!

 

GO NUTS

Rabi-Ribi (Review) – Take away the boobs (or don’t) and this is a charming and creative metroidvania that’ll last you ages

Unexplored (Review) – A technically-deep roguelike that makes its complexity as accessible as possible

Happy Room (Review) – Lots of dumb fun blowing up dummies, but still being expanded with more content

Bunker Punks (Review) – Fast-paced 2.5D FPS with roguelike progression

Teleglitch (Review) – An all-time favorite survival horror sci-fi roguelike

Hexcells (Review) – Brilliant little Minesweeper-esque puzzler

Hexcells Plus (Review) – Picks up in difficulty right where Hexcells leaves off

9 Clues: The Secret of Serpent Creek (Review) – Nice and cheesy B-horror HOG

Haunted Past: Realm of Ghosts (review) – Dated but decent horror HOG

OK/NORMAL (Review) – Neat little game that feels like a haunted PS1 disc
