Ever since the original Zelda games, I have been a fan of rogue-like games. Crypt of the Necrodancer reminds me of the old Zelda with an awesome soundtrack. This game is so unique and innovative. There are some slight flaws in the game, however for the price (which is $2.99) you really can't complain. I highly recommend giving this game a try. More

So I look at FTL as a poor man's roguelike game, without much going on for it. I can't see myself taking the time to try and learn the gameplay style and I am board by the look of it. More

This is not a good solution. This doesn't address the problem and appears to be nothing more than an ad/spam for a game. A game that has nothing to do with helping this user solve his problem. More

I've spent a lot of time in Dungeons of Dredmor, and it runs like a dream on my old laptop. I really like the class-less skill based style of game play. If you like turn based rouge-likes with a semi-old school vibe, and a sense of humor, then this game is for you! More
by Linda Holmes
I'm a huge fan of dungeons, that's why I am so addicted to this new roguelike game called Dungeons of Dredmor. You start on the top floor and as you descend lower and lower the levels get harder and harder. So cool! More
by Kyle Murray
This game is challenging without taking the fun away. It has a good dose of humor, and is easy to get into. The fact that the levels are randomly generated gives it good replay value. I've put a considerable amount of time into it. More

Gonner is a scrolling game on PC. I would not consider this to be a roguelike game. I would say something like Thief, or even an MMO well before a scroller like this. More
by Kevin Yi
GoNNER has an old school feel to it with its 2D elements. It was very challenging but interesting.
by Jeremy Howell
GoNNER is a great rouge game for the pc! It's got a great story and the game is fun to play and makes me want to not stop!

I think Spelunky looks like a great choice for roguelike's on PC. It has a fun Billy and Mandy to animation to it, which is a show that I really liked. I may just try this out later in the day. More
by Andrés Carrillo
A great game with excellent graphics, provides hours and hours of enjoyment.

Spelunky is one of the best roguelites available. Easy to play, hard to master and developed for years with love and dedication by its creator, there are very few roguelites that match it. More

This is a good solution because it's an example of roguelikes, which is what was requested, and the solution goes into a good amount of detail which is really helpful. Again, though, it only gives one solution when the problem is requesting multiple examples of roguelikes. More
by Ashley Curtis
Crawl is a really great new game that you can play with your friends. You have to battle through dungeons and try to take on the big boss. The multiplayer aspect is really unique for a PC game! More

by Linda Meyer
I wanted to like this game so bad when I saw it because it is a rougellike game. However I don't care for Dugeon of the Endless cheap graphics. I do like that I can explore space and pick single or multiplayer though. More
by Pamela Alexander
Dungeons of the Endless isn't a good roguelike/roguelites on PC. I had choppy game play.

As an avid video gamer who loves all types of games. The rouge like genre holds a special place in my heart. Sadly not many companies today still make rouge like games. Desktop Dungeons is an awesome entry into the genre with an old school retro look yet has some modern twists. This will be a great game to add to a roguelikes fan's collection. More
by Adrián Zamudio
My favorite games to play are games with rogues in them but I have had trouble finding the best ones for the PC. Recently, an excellent one that I was able to find with a lot of searching was Desktop Dungeons. More

This is ok but I do not see Don't Starve as one of the top roguelikes/roguelites games on PC. Some of the bigger choices might have been Caves of Qud , Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup , Cataclysm Dark Days Ahead, Nethack, The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth, FTL: Faster Than Light More
by Brenda Reyes
Aside from the lack of actual dungeons, Don't starve does a rather good job of solving this problem. IT's a survival game, there're resources, and crafting. More

This is a very, very old school type of game. If you're into the ASCII days of Roguelike, then I'd say try it out. It's free, so why not?

According to the website's 'About' page, "Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead is a roguelike set in a post-apocalyptic world. Surviving is difficult: you have been thrown, ill-equipped, into a landscape now riddled with monstrosities of which flesh eating zombies are neither the strangest nor the deadliest." So, yes, it does solve the problem. It also sounds a little bit interesting. More

I like playing roguelike RPG games and this looks to be one, although reading through the description and watching the gameplay I'm not really that interested in it. More
by Norma Parra
This solutions gives me the feels and vibes of games from the late 90s and early 2000s. Other than that I don't think I would continue using. It also reminds me way too much of other games of the same category rather than differentiating itself from the rest. More
