Another top pick.ĮDIT: If you want more, check out Rogue Basin, pretty much roguelike catalogue wiki. Basically what Shin Megami Tensei and Pokemon (if you don't count the Mystery Dungeon series) would look like as a more traditional, dungeon crawling roguelike. Like Elona, the game revels in absurd and offensive humor, including sex, talking animals/monsters, flagrant swearing, and cruelty to children. Then, add extreme violence, brainwashing via torture/music, bad puns, and, of course, a twisted take on American politics and public influence to the mix, among other things. Gameplay based loosely on the classic 1983 RPG. Another roguelike from the makers of Dwarf Fortress along with the Bay12 community. The player forms and assigns teams of activists (terrorists) to go to various sites to cause trouble. Liberal Crime Squad v.rc A satirical console-based political role-playing/strategy game in which you recruit a team of Elite Liberal radicals and try to save the United States from a descent into Arch-Conservatism. ASCII only, and still missing a few features (such as allies). This game likewise has a story quest and numerous side-quests. An open world roguelike with plenty of traditional dungeon crawling. Objectives and allegiance changes depending on starting factions and options set before each game. ASCII only, and still a bit glitchy, but defnitely worth a try. You take control of an individual within a faction, participating in a battle between angels and demons, all set in a town during the early 20th century.

Newer versions are monetized, but you can try out some older free releases before you buy. A more focused take on Dwarf Fortress Adventurer and Fortress Mode combined. Still in early developement, and as such, kinda glitchy and a bit bare bones. There's also crafting and randomized quests.


There's more focus on resource and crew management. Another ship-based roguelike, this time set in a steampunk setting. Like Elona, there's also an overarching plot, along with sidequests, though they're mostly hidden if the player's not actively looking. Features include trading, space combat, lite ship/crew management, and exploration of planets for resources and alien lifeforms.

Decker. Basically Shadowrun Hacking: The Roguelike with a random quest system. Gets a bit repetitive, but its worth a look. In addition, I can also recommend the following: Used to play Cataclysm as well, though I'm not fond of certain changes and the direction the game seems to be headed. Can vouch for Nethack, Dungeon Crawl -Stone Soup, Shiren the Wanderer, and Dwarf Fortress. TOME4, Infra Arcana, Brogue, and Sil (a variant of Angband, another old-school roguelike) look solid, though I never got the flow of those games.
