Have you tried Mystery Dungeon? I think there are four of them on Switch. There’s Shiren the Wanderer 5 & 6, Chocobo’s Mystery Dungeon Every Buddy, and Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX. If you’ve never tried the Mystery Dungeon format, then I’d recommend playing the demo for the Pokemon one to see if you like it first.
I’ve played several Shiren games (1 on DS, 3 on Wii, 5 and 6 on Switch) and I recommend Shiren 6 (Mystery Dungeons of Serpentcoil Island).
5 kinda went too far from its roguelike roots and feels too grindy, with too many ways to escape safely, especially easy ways to undo your death indefinitely.
6 is a lot more fun to me and makes good runs and crazy builds more special again.
For a very good introduction to the series, if you can play it, the port of Shiren 1 on DS is great and already has a lot of what makes those games fun. There is also a rom hack translation for the original on Super Famicom (that one only existed in Japanese), but I’ve not played that one much.
If you enjoyed Hades, you might like the new Ninja Turtles game, Splintered Fate. It’s definitely a bit more than “inspired by” Hades. Doesn’t quite hit the same, but it’s still a good time.
As much as I want to love rogue light games, I just can’t get into most because I do not enjoy repeating the same thing over and over. It’s especially exhausting when you start doing 30-40 minutes runs and I am just like, nah, there’s no way I’m doing another run once I die. With that said, my favorite by far is also Slay the Spire because a run doesn’t take very long and is lighthearted, so it works perfectly. The other games I enjoyed were Dead Cells, and Children of Morta. Hades was great as well, but you mentioned that.
For folks browsing the thread, not OP who already is done with Hades, I came to this thread to plug Hades because I hate roguelikes but enjoyed Hades. Story suckered me in, and it turns out the gameplay was fun too.
Hades 2 is in early access, but it’s already very polished. They’re releasing more areas with each patch, but it honestly already feels like a complete game.
Dead Cells is fun. It has an end tho, but it’s difficult getting there on the higher difficulties. I also liked children of morta, has a story mode and roguelite mode
Have you tried the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Splintered Fate game? I have not played it much at this point, but what little I piddled with it seemed enjoyable. For what it’s worth, I’ve played Hades and Cult of the Lamb and really enjoyed them both. I have not played Slay the Spire, though.
Highly recommended Roguelikes from personal experience or friend recommendations:
Binding of Isaac, FTL, Risk of Rain 2, Enter the Gungeon, Darkest Dungeon (my favorite)[not the second one], Monster Train, Crypt of the Necrodancer (another favorite).
It’s worth noting that Risk of Rain 1 and 2 are very different games (3rd person 3D vs. 2D side scroller), and both are good - so if 2 didn’t grab you, maybe check out 1 and see if that’s more your thing. (The remastered version has a lot of nice QOL stuff and some new game modes and items.)
While I also strongly recommend Dead Cells like others, I think it’s best if you first play Rogue Legacy. Let’s put it this way, if Rogue Legacy is like a good cup of coffee, dead cells is cocaine, or maybe crack.
Nie, bo ogólnie nie trafia do mnie idea mediów społecznościowych.
Czasem wrzucam zajomym jakieś link z agregatorow, np. szmer.info albo tildes.net, czasem linki z zarssowanych źródeł i tyle. Jedynie przeklejam na konto na fedi treści zaprzyjaźnionej stronki facebookowej azylu dla zwierzaków.
I can vouch for nearly all of the suggestions in this thread, and suggest one I haven’t seen: Vampire Survivors. I’m not one much for anything to do with vampires, but the mechanics with this one are really pretty good.
If you’ve ever seen bullet hell games like Touhou, it’s kind of like that, but you are the bullet hell. You also only have one real control during the action part of the game and that is to move your character around the non-stop enemy swarms that come at you.
Your character has a weapon and automatically uses that weapon without any input from you, and as you kill enemies, you collect gems that allow you to upgrade that weapon that constantly fires. You also get chances for other item and weapons upgrades with the intent to learn their “unions” (a la The Binding of Isaac) where items work together to create fantastical “bullet heaven” screen-clearing destruction.
There’s probably a wiki about it, but it’s really pretty damn good.
