Gold-Plated Games

Roguelike fans, rejoice! This is the week of Weeklong Deals for you! I’ll always be first in line to recommend Downwell and Teleglitch, but now I can also put Jupiter Hell on that list of procedural death favorites. There are other singular titles to consider as well, like Apsulov and Dark Scavenger, each for their own unique reasons. But whatever gaming predilections you may have this week, there’ll be something for you to enjoy!
