Best Roguelike games on PC
Games built around repeatable runs in which layouts, encounters, or rewards change through random generation. Defeat usually ends the current run and removes much of its progress, so players begin again under different circumstances.
- Randomized runs and encounters
- Run-ending defeat and restarts
