An excellent blend of Into the Breach and Slay the Spire. Lots of characters, each with their unique playstyles and an extensive card pool which enhances replayability. For newcomers, this is a great introduction to the genre as the game is more forgiving than some of its counterparts. For veterans of the genre, this is a must-buy. Beware though that the base difficulties are quite simple if you're used to the difficulty of similar games.
Astral Ascent is one of the best action roguelikes out there. The game is challenging, has a wide of variety of enemies and builds and it keeps getting better and better with each update. Here's a concise summary of what I like and dislike about the game: Pros: + Lots of variety in runs: 4 playable characters in the base game, each level has 3 different bosses, tons of spells and auras to make a build unique + Pixel art + Simple yet satisfying combat mechanics + Frequent gameplay updates Cons: - Lore is shallow - Past a certain point, there's a lot of grinding to do to unlock things
