What is a Roguelike Game ?

Roguelikes are a type of video game that takes direct influence from the tabletop role-playing games, such as Dungeons and Dragons. Because of that, they mostly feature dungeon crawling in procedurally generated levels, and often permadeath.

The term roguelike often refers to the mechanics that have transferred over from tabletop to the video game world, such as the ability to pick your class, race, gender, skills, attribute points, and the opportunity to loot weapons, items, and armor from defeated enemies.

Due to the challenging nature, roguelikes will often employ a fog of war mechanic, forcing players to fully explore an area or level and hide treasures or enemies in those unexplored areas.

Several other mechanics that have transferred from the tabletop games include leveling up characters, turn-based battles, and the ability to make your own choices that affect the outcome of an event and story.

Many games in the genre, such as the award-winning Divinity: Original Sin, allow players to choose how to progress. For instance, if a door blocks the way the player can choose whether to find the key or break it down.

Although choices are not infinite, roguelike games have endless playability due to their procedural levels, with one of the most influential games in the genre being Diablo. Playing through a dungeon may offer the same weapon, but it will have one or two stats slightly changed for better or worse, giving a sense of infinite possibilities.

Permadeath is not a must-have feature of a roguelike, but some games have seen great success by using it, such as FTL: Faster Than Light, Rogue Legacy, and even Diablo 3 with its Hardcore Mode.

Roguelike is a broad term, and there is something in them for everyone, whether its a deck-building game, a dungeon crawler or a rhythm game. There is a good chance that everyone has played a roguelike game, and their future looks ever bright in a video game world where different is much-sought-after.

This is where Tags come in.

Why Are We Doing a Top 15 Roguelike List?

In the world of Roguelike Games, fantastic games can be found at incredible prices but you can also be at a greater risk of being left disappointed.

Not all games reach their potential and get a release, unfortunately many games are left abandoned by their developers or are even released in a poor state and are yet still available to purchase on Steam.

Steam is in the business of selling games and sometimes that can mean a drop in quality in order to get more titles onto the Steam Store and available for purchase.

At Allkeyshop, we believe in quality over quantity and because of that we use every bit of data that Steam offers and we use that to provide the most detailed analysis of a game’s ranking.

How Do We Get Our Rankings?

Our rankings will take all available pieces of data into account, in particular we focus on the real ratings, real opinions and recommendations of those that play the game.

As a part of our ranking, we ensure that only those that own the game, have it currently available in their library and are logged into their account can vote for their favourite games. This, along with our other data, ensures we have the most accurate ranking system possible.

We only show the top 15 games so that you are not overwhelmed with hundreds of games and swamped in too much data. We plan on refreshing our top 15 each week, but we may change this plan if we find it has a real demand from you, our users.

Allkeyshop is a price comparator site with the intention of giving players the best price possible for the best games available. We remain fully impartial on prices and sellers, displaying both online sites and platforms such Steam, Origin and Epic, and we remain completely impartial on the rating of those games that we highlight in our rankings.

Our rankings are based on our users with no influence from us and we will remain impartial on the ratings and the rankings of all games.
