I was immediately interested in Convoy when I originally heard about it, but was sad when there was no Linux support. The good news is they now have a Linux test build available to the public.

Curious Expedition has been available in a web alpha since November last year, has already built a large following and has now been put on Steam to gather more player feedback.

Crypt of the NecroDancer was a bloody good idea for a game, and it is executed well. The game has now left Early Access.

Crypt of the NecroDancer is really awesome, and it's going to exit early access this month. If you love your music it's a fantastic game.

Captain Forever Remix is a little favourite of mine, and it's now even better with a bunch of extra content. If you haven't picked it up yet you really should.

Caravan is the upcoming game from developer it Matters Games, and is a trade and exploration game combining strategy, RPG and roguelike elements. The game will be published by Daedalic Entertainment and will be released later this year.

Roguelites seem to be pretty abundant these days. If you check Steam, Desura or pretty much any online game store, you will find tons and tons of games that advertise themselves as roguelites. Delver is one too but, unlike many others, it's actually surprisingly close to the original Rogue.

KeeperRL is an interesting, and open source roguelike with RPG elements that is now on Steam. The code is open source, but the graphical version is not.

Tales of Maj'Eyal is a roguelike RPG, featuring tactical turn-based combat and advanced character building.

Pixel Heroes is one of the more interesting indie titles released recently, and I had a chance to take a look at the game and give you some thoughts on it.

The unique action RPG with card deck building mechanics, Hand of Fate, is finally fully released after a year of being in Early Access. The game has a spiffy new trailer to show off the game.

RogueSweeper is a mashup between a roguelike and a minesweeper game. Tap to reveal tiles, monsters, traps or items. Tap (or click) your way to the bottom of the infinite dungeon. How far can you go?

Out There is a popular mobile game that is being ported to the desktop with some great enhancements, and luckily for us the Linux version will be out soon too.

The full game will be available as an offline DRM free version next summer, but the developer, Maschinen-Mensch, has released an alpha to gather player feedback to help balance procedural aspects of the game.

In TinyKeep players will embrace the role of a hopeless prisoner held deep in a forgotten dungeon who one day wakes up to find themselves mysteriously released.

Sproggiwood was released for Linux recently, and we decided to give it a go to see how it performs, and to let you know if it's worth you throwing your money at the screen for.

The remake of the massively popular roguelike The Binding of Isaac makes its début on Steam for Linux today. As previously reported the remake comes with a vast amount of improvements and additions, and a new engine, which should be a major improvement to Linux users.

Bring civilization to Sproggiwood, a story-driven, turn-based roguelike set in a humorous world inspired by Finnish mythology.

Steam Marines arrived on Linux originally in June, and hot on that release is the full release. If you held off before due to early access it's now time to take a look.

Those of you who passed on The Binding of Isaac due to it being a flash game are in luck! The popular rogue-lite title is being remade from the ground up, with plenty of new content for new and old players alike this November. The most significant change from a gameplay standpoint will probably be the addition of an interesting local co-op mechanic.
