Best roguelike Games

NXTO's catalog has 368 roguelike games. These 30 rank highest once player ratings, Metacritic scores and Steam reviews are combined. The top three: Hades, Inscryption and Into the Breach.

How it's ranked: a blend of RAWG player ratings, Metacritic and Steam reviews, adjusted so games with very few ratings can't outrank well-proven ones. Times are average player-reported playtime, so treat them as rough guides.
