What are your favorite “mobile first” roguelites?
I’m looking for a new game to play on iOS but wanted to try something different than “the classics”. Something designed firstly for mobile, or at least with mobile in mind from the outset.
I’ve played all the classics and love pretty much every genre of rogue. The only exception would be twin sticks on mobile (I have >1k hrs in Isaac, 500 in Gungeon, 100+ in Nuclear Throne, etc, but all with a controller; touch controls are no fun IMO), though I am open to action/survivor/bullet heaven/whatever.
Recently I’ve played Roguejack, another run through StS, another run through Balatro, Dream Quest, Krumits’ Tale…others I’m forgetting. I also have Apple Arcade if there’s anything cool beyond the big ones there that I might be overlooking.
Love this community btw. Cheers!
