Rogue Legacy

Teleglitch
Hack Slash Loot

Fatal Labyrinth

Red Rogue is a fun one.
And it's free to play, too!

Project Zomboid. . I'm loving it. . .

Spelunky man, Spelunky. I can guarantee it is harder than FTL and BOI, but you'll keep coming back for more anyway.

Rogue Legacy is also great, I'd def recommend it. Don't Starve has some randomization and you'll probably die a lot, but its a stretch to even call it a roguelike-lite, which is what most of these are.

Dungeons of Dredmor is fantastic too, a true roguelike, but accessible for newbies. If you want to delve in though, you can always play the webtiles version of the seminal roguelike, Dungeon Crawl: Stone Soup.

Good ol' dwarf fortress!
Or maybe it's younger brother, gnomoria :)

DoomRL. It's the famous grand-daddy of the FPS, turned into a rogue-like. Different character classes, careful management of inventory and armor, all the powerups you remember from the original, most of the same sounds... it's great. Best of all, it's free to download. Just google for it. I had a lot of fun with it.

Desktop Dungeons

Nobody said RogueWarrior?

Shame on you guys.

Nuclear Throne.

I can't believe I'm the first to say this here. You won't be disappointed. The best roguelike to date, and it's in early access on Steam right now, still under development. It's a solid game as is, and will be getting much better with time.

Plus it has controller support, that's a huge bonus for me. It has different characters to choose from, each with their own special abilities. Different world types, with their own boss types. Can't stress enough how much you won't be disappointed. I've already put 30 hours into it, I play it every day. This game always has me saying, "one more round" and then I play ten more instead. No regrets, best purchase I've made on Steam in a long time.

Also a fan of Binding of Isaac, FTL and Spelunky. They don't compare to the likes of Nuclear Throne though. 10/10 solid game.

EDIT to add Binding of Isaac to favs list. Nuclear Throne is a lot like BOI. But better. :)

Doing a blanket +1 to everyone else who inevitably posted Dungeons of Dredmor

also afaik FTL isn't considered a roguelike, and BoI definitely isn't a roguelike :hee:

The Pit. It's so obnoxiously luck based that it's kind of funny.

rogue, the original

There aren't many roguelikes on Steam, most are roguelike-like (such as FTL and BOI and most of the titles mentioned in this thread).

I will recommend Dungeons of Dredmor.

And just to broaden the list, everyone forgot to mention the roguelike Weird Worlds: Return to Infinite Space and the roguelike-like Eldritch.

PS: Gnomoria, Unepic and Project Zomboid are not roguelike or even roguelike-like

Don't Starve is the only thing that really comes to mind.

theres plenty and alot good ones but Sword of the Stars: The Pit is one of my favourites and they recently added alot of new content too.

I strongly recommend Dungeons of Dredmor, I love that one. Wish it had mobile version, I'd no life it 24/7

Nethack!
