2025 has already been a great year for roguelikes. On the action side of things, we’ve got the likes of Sworn, Reignbreaker, and Heroes of Hammerwatch 2. If you prefer a bit more considered strategy, there’s options such as Grit and Valor 1949, Aotenjo, and Nubby’s Number Factory. But when it comes to deckbuilders – or dicebuilders, in this case – Die in the Dungeon has proven itself an early frontrunner for my top games of the year. Combining a delightful pixel-art style with some really clever strategy reminiscent of genre pioneers like Dicey Dungeons and Slay the Spire, it’s a surefire winner, and it just got even better.
