This was recommended to my by a Steam friend and I have nothing but good things to say about it. I adore the lo-fi aspect of the game with the screenlines and adjustment waves that happen randomly as if it were being played on a CRT. The entirety of my time spent with the game was on a TV which amplified the lo-fi graphics even more. I'm most impressed with the strength scaling of the game as every playthrough I received, what I thought to be, an overpowered weapon that just tore through rooms for awhile until it didn't. Then I would find another weapon upgrade and rinse and repeat. I never felt like I had a stinker of a run and I like to think that has to do with the balancing and overall choices being fun to make and always feeling good.

My only complaint is that whenever I started to play this, I had no idea it is an Early Access title, so right when I was getting multiple wins, I was faced with two locked doors thanking me for playing and that this was the end of the current early access version 😭 Can't wait for the next update in September!

Tiny Rogues is excatly what its title emplies. It's a short and fast-paced action roguelike with visuals and simplicity borrowed from a long-gone era of retro gaming.

It keeps both its audiovisuals and gameplay simple while still delivering very satisfying and challenging runs. It might be simple but it offers a vast range of customization and accessibility to keep things interesting and replayable.

The game is still under development, however, it's in a very worthwhile state already. It's extremely cheap to boot so there's not much margin to complain.

Tiny Rogues combines pretty much the best elements of many other roguelikes. Of course, it has all of the bullet hell goodness you'd expect from your Binding of Enter the Nuclear Hades, but adds onto it with the insane amount of run variety. Almost every single run you'll have will feel different one way or another. One run you'll be cleaving through enemies with a greatsword bigger than you, and in the next you'll melt off the final boss' face with DoT effects like that one scene from Indiana Jones. Almost all of the classes you can play as have specific builds they encourage, but you can pretty much build any class however you'd like if you really wanted to.

I would have given this game a good review even before the massive update it had in December but now it's even easier for me to recommend it. The fact that this game still has several updates planned for the future is ABSURD, since there's already so much content in this game.
