The best roguelike and roguelite games on sale

No genre rewards "just one more run" like the roguelike, where dying is the point and every attempt makes you better. Here are the best on sale right now across the stores we track.

• Hades — the one to start with: incredible combat, gorgeous art, and a story you unlock by dying. Near-perfect.
• Dead Cells — razor-sharp action-platforming with endless build variety.
• Risk of Rain 2 — a third-person roguelike that snowballs into glorious chaos, especially in co-op.
• Grim Dawn — more action-RPG than roguelike, but a bottomless loot chase for a dollar or two.
• Last Epoch — a modern ARPG with deep, satisfying build-crafting.

Roguelikes are ideal budget buys — huge replay value for very little money. Compare Hades vs Dead Cells if you can only grab one, and check each game's all-time low on the deals page.
