Roguelike for beginners: 5 games to start with

Hades, Dead Cells, Slay the Spire and a couple more titles to ease into the genre.

Roguelikes scare newcomers with permadeath, but modern hits make the genre accessible. Start with Hades — great story and clear progression.

Slay the Spire teaches planning and risk assessment. Dead Cells if you want fast-paced action.

Don't fear losing: in roguelikes defeat is part of learning, not punishment.
