Shared: isometric

Proof that dying can be the best part of a story: Hades turns every failed escape attempt into a character beat, and the combat is sharp enough that you will want to fail a few more times just to try the shield next run.

Shared: Twin-Stick Shooter

Brutally fun bullet chaos with over 200 guns and a dodge roll that grants actual invincibility frames - the rare roguelike that hooks casual players AND breaks hardcore ones.

Shared: Isometric

Spend one night in Vardoran and you will understand why 90% of 134k Steam reviewers refused to log off. Vampire survival with real build depth and full-loot PvP that bites back.
