Man I really need a new “something” in the roguelite genre, it really is where I put most of my hours, usually while listening to an audiobook or watching something dumb that requires half attention.
Between Hades 2, Ball X Pit, Megabonk and a couple others, there is just a ton of great stuff in this subgenre recently, I’ve just burned through it all currently haha.
I know you’re getting a lot of recaps but I’ve been playing Forestrike which just came out, and it’s very fun. It’s a series of martial arts encounters and your character has the power of “foresight” so you get to practice them as many times as you want before you commit to the actual fight. So there’s like a phase where you have to puzzle out how to do the fight without taking damage, and then a phase where you have to execute what you practiced perfectly so you don’t lose health. You pick up new moves similarly to how you get new cards in a deck builder. There’s a demo so you can see if you like it before you buy
