So sprawling has the roguelike genre now become, we at Gaming Deals thought it’d be useful to run you through what we deem to be the 10 best roguelike games you can play right now (yes we're including roguelikes and roguelites). It may sound punishing, but in practice it can be highly exhilarating when handled well. Roguelike games are different to traditional games in that most don’t have a defined beginning, middle, and end you’re intended to experience once, you see, instead challenging you to start from point zero all over again each time you fail. However, in more recent years, there’s one genre in particular – known as the roguelike – where encouraging players to repeat runs in this way is built into their very core.

Great video games are often predicated on having you play them over and over again.
