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.

I’ve just started playing this game and I can already tell it’s gonna be one of my favorite roguelikes. The RPG mechanics are very fun and the item variety is fantastic. Each of the characters offer their own twist, but I’d like to see more characters that fundamentally alter the gameplay in some way (maybe I just haven’t unlocked them yet). The meta progression is a nice touch and I like how you can disable them at any time if you want to increase your difficulty.
While it begins to tap into that improvisational flow of the best action roguelikes, it falls apart at this point after the very short progression path is completed and after familiarity with the game betrays how unbalanced it is in its current state. I will absolutely check back in on it at release, but wouldn't play it again in 0.1.6.
A rogue like that takes "it's like dark souls" to heart. It's not really like dark souls but definitely souls inspired. Not nearly as frustratingly hard but with a similar stat and weapon progression system. The weapon variety is not as plentiful as it seems initially but the variety in bosses really make this game shine.
