There’s nothing better than finding a new roguelike to play and endlessly completing runs until your fingers go numb. 2024 has brought us some of the best in genre, with Hades 2 and Balatro leading the way alongside updates to Dead Cells, The Binding of Isaac, and Cult of the Lamb. But as the year draws to a close, another hidden gem deserves your attention. Available right now for a mere one dollar, make sure you check out Dreamscaper.
Despite being one of the best roguelike games available, Dreamscraper doesn’t get the recognition it deserves. Sitting at a score of 80 on Metacritic, and garnering a ‘Very Positive’ rating on Steam, this roguelite boasts a distinctive dreamlike aesthetic that helps to tell its looping narrative. Safe to say, you may be missing out on one of the best indie games if you pass on this one.
During the night, you enter combat, defeat bosses, and use powers to progress. During the day, however, you have the opportunity to build relationships with those around you, as well as upgrade the main character, Cassidy, so you can be stronger on the next playthrough.
It’s also an excellent game if you enjoy playing roguelites on the go (or in the comfort of your bed), as Dreamscaper was rated as Steam Deck Verified in an update last year, making it a great action game to enjoy on the best handheld gaming PC. It may even become one of your favorite Steam Deck games.
For just a short amount of time, you can purchase Dreamscaper for $1 / £1 on Fanatical, thanks to the new Plentiful Bundle. Instead of the usual $24.99 / £20.99, you can enjoy this mind-bending roguelite for less than a cup of coffee. You only have a few week to get it though, as the sale ends on Monday, December 30, 2024.
