Games Like Bad North (2026)

Shared: Permadeath

Surviving alone was already brutal - surviving with friends who make catastrophic decisions is another beast entirely. A deep, unforgiving co-op survival game that rewards patience, preparation, and someone on the team who knows what a Science Machine actually does.

Shared: Permadeath, Roguelite

A top-down bullet-hell roguelike that has eaten more hours than any shooter I've touched this year, and it controls like a twin-stick arcade cab running at a locked 60fps.

Shared: Short Sessions

Grab three friends and loot haunted moons for a faceless corporation. Lethal Company is chaotic co-op horror that thrives on everything going catastrophically wrong.

Shared: Permadeath

Survival horror that treats your death as a foregone conclusion and dares you to postpone it as long as possible. The depth here will outlast most RPGs you own.

Shared: Procedural Generation

A punishing roguelike action-platformer where every run tries to kill you faster than the last. Survive long enough and you might just become unstoppable.
