These games present a substantial challenge, demanding players to master the rules in order to survive. Perfect for testing your skills during Tet festivities!
1. Legacy of Rogues
Legacy of Rogues ranks among the best in the roguelike genre. Players take on the role of a brave knight exploring a castle and defeating monstrous foes. With no respawns but permanent death, gamers must learn extensively to conquer each level.
One fascinating aspect of Legacy of Rogues is that each knight possesses unique traits and abilities, providing players with random advantages or disadvantages. Additionally, the game features complex mechanics and challenging adversaries, leading many to praise its captivating yet difficult nature.
2. Grim Shadows
Explore the mysterious underground chambers of an abandoned mansion amidst a dark, eerie setting. Control multiple characters to navigate through hordes of monsters and survive the dungeon. What sets Darkest Dungeon apart is the psychological stress meter each character possesses; the more stressed they become, the more bizarre intentions they may develop, sometimes veering into the sinister.
The challenge of management alongside the eerie, unsettling atmosphere the game offers adds a chilling, surreal sensation. And of course, the Permadeath feature is a perfect fit for a game like this, sometimes you'll find yourself eager to employ it on certain characters.
3. FTL: Faster Than Light
FTL: Faster Than Light is a simulation-action game set against the backdrop of an epic space battle. Players experience life aboard a spaceship on a mission to save the galaxy. It's a quintessential stealth classic with an extremely unforgiving feature: each time players perish, they must start anew in a randomly generated scenario.
In addition to negotiating or battling against enemies, plotting courses, and trading with outsiders, players must manage various complex ship components. Furthermore, players must pay attention to recruiting new crew members or upgrading the ship to be stronger and faster.
4. Don’t Starve
Launched in 2013 and developed by Klei Entertainment, Don't Starve has garnered widespread acclaim from gamers worldwide, even being voted the best indie game of 2013. Don't Starve falls into the survival genre, immersing players into a vast world where they experience a new life in a humorous yet challenging manner.
Every Don't Starve session revolves around a character enduring the harshness of nature while trying to survive alone in the wilderness. Players must hunt, gather, and potentially domesticate livestock for sustenance and other resources, allowing them to craft new equipment.
