With addictive yet satisfying gameplay and a unique progression system not seen in past titles Rouge Legacy is a joy to be had. Upgrading your keep acquiring new gear and abilities. Its a game that will be played on for generations.
A quick-play roguelike puzzle game that gives you roughly 10 minutes of dungeon-crawling action per serving. It straddles the casual and hardcore boundary in that, while you might die frequently because the game is tricky and unforgiving, it’s so approachable and quick to get into that you keep wanting just one more round.
Monaco is a heist game, like the movie Ocean’s 11. Play by yourself or with up to 4 people on the same screen or online. Each player must take advantage of their own unique character class – the Hacker can shut down the security systems while the Muscle blows a hole through the wall.

Rouge Legacy checks every box for a fun fast paced indie experience like no other. Not only is it a game you would never see coming out of a mainstream developer. A title where death isn’t the end and a meta game that surprised us with its fun unique way of progression it had our staff playing for months after release and fully deserves the title of Number one indie title for 2013.
