If you appreciate the easy-to-learn mechanics of roguelikes but prefer them to be shorter and less punishing, this subgenre might be right up your alley.

They're less prone to harsh permadeaths and often allow you to save upgrades on your next try. Whether or not you see the fine line between roguelite and roguelike, these titles offer fun and addictive gameplay with a bit of a challenge.
