Can’t play Hades II yet? Need some roguelikes to keep you busy on Nintendo Switch? We’ve got you covered with some of the best on the system below. We’ve given this list a good spruce and added the sublime 30XX to the list. Enjoy!

What are the best roguelikes on Nintendo Switch? When it comes to modern video games, there are few more polarising genre terms. That divisive descriptor draws some players like moths to a flame, while others run a mile at the mere whisper of it.

These days, it often feels like ‘roguelike’ — which refers to dungeon crawler Rogue from 1980 — is attached to every other game released. The label has become so pervasive that it now stands alongside ‘Metroidvania‘ as an increasingly vague (though very handy) shorthand for games with specific mechanics; in this case, games with randomised elements that are approached in one ‘run’. You steadily acquire gear and abilities on the way until you either beat the game (yay!) or die before being sent back to the beginning, stripped of your booty, to try again.

Even if the word turns you off, the range of genres offering roguelike or lighter ‘roguelite’ mechanics has become so broad that it’s unlikely that you’ll hate every single one. Many games use a basic run-based structure but let you unlock certain equipment or abilities that persist in subsequent runs, resulting in a less brutal experience if you don’t have the time (or inclination) to simply git good.

So, below you’ll find our picks — in no particular order — of the best Switch roguelikes, roguelites, roguelike-likes, and all variations thereof. This sizeable list is subject to change and evolution in the future, so let us know your thoughts and suggestions in the usual place and we’ll continue to hone and tone it over time.
