Absolum masterfully blends classic beat 'em up action with roguelite progression and mature fantasy storytelling to create something truly special. Dotemu delivers crispy combat, meaningful worldbuilding, and enough content to keep you hooked for 25+ hours and beyond. Whether you're chasing nostalgia or craving innovation, this is an essential pickup.
Towa and the Guardians of the Sacred Tree isn’t going to dethrone Hades or Hades II, but it doesn’t need to. If you’re looking for “that style of game” with a kawaii anime twist, this is a fun way to scratch the itch. The story drags, and some design choices are love-it-or-hate-it, but the builds, combat, and cozy vibe carry the experience.
Hell Clock is an ARPG roguelike that draws from the tragic War of Canudos, blending Brazilian history with supernatural elements. Despite some pacing issues with its countdown mechanic and limited endgame content, the game offers tight combat, accessible systems, and a refreshingly unique setting. It's an easy recommendation on sale, especially for players seeking a more streamlined ARPG experience.
