Steam Sale: 50 great roguelikes and roguelites on PC (Linux/SteamOS, Mac, and Windows)

Welcome, Dear Reader, to this new guide I’m trying out for the latest Steam Sale. My intention with this round-up is to bundle together a selection of games from each sub-category in the roguelike niche, with a mixture of heavily discounted classics and an assortment of new releases with smaller reductions.

Either way, I’ve tried to pick out the best that the genre has to offer – and I have only included games that I’ve played myself. That said, I know many of you will already have most of the biggest releases, so I’m going to include one or two wildcard suggestions. I will also focus on the percentages of the discounts, rather than regional prices, to keep things clean.

Finally, if you want to read about the games in this list, nearly all of them feature in my article on the best roguelikes and roguelites, so hit that link for more on them. Otherwise, stay with me for tons of discounted games, as they’re priced in the Steam Winter Sale 2025 (which runs until January 5th, 2026, 10 am PST).
