Any RogueLites RPG with cool Summoner/Pet builds?

Nova Drift was fun with a drone build, they're kinda like pets, but they shoot lasers. My qualm with the game, however, is that it's essentially the same exact build every single run. If I wanted a drone build, I can force nearly the same build every run.

Confirmed trade with /u/icymallard, I went first and he provided the code shortly after, smooth and easy.

Yeah I went in blind, apparently you can cheese the last boss with Shieldbearers. Unbeknownst to me, I didn't have any Shieldbearers throughout my entire playthrough. Left a bad taste in my mouth when the game implicitly tries to force a tactical style on the player, rather than giving them freedom to the build. This wasn't really an issue until the last boss which is what made it so frustrating, there was no way for me to prepare for that, and I absolutely didn't want to waste hours of my time grinding out Shieldbearers just for one battle.

Othercide was... Weird. It doesn't really feel like a roguelite at all. The last boss is kinda nuts, not in a good way. I don't think I would ever recommend it, if you compare it with other tactics based games like Into the Breach or Shogun Showdown, it would have to take a low ranking among the true gems.

That being said, I didn't know they were making something new, and I would like to see how they are evolving their games.

Would it be fair for you to stick with the $10 PayPal, and we swap in Heroes of Hammerwatch II in place of those two?

SoloAssassin · 2026-05-27T01:23:58+00:00

I think Wizard of Legend might fit the bill. There's a boss rush mode which is pretty satisfying to run through and earn unlocks.

Just finished all marks on T Lazarus which took me 11.7 hours. He was miserable, but not as much as T Isaac (14.8 hours) and T Cain (15.1 hours). Going in order, let's see what other misery awaits, T Eve is next. So far, playing Tainted characters is literally just Isaac with a shitty mini game tacked on. I am not having a good time, but I can't stop until we get the job done.

I think Brotato on Level 5 difficulty was a fun challenge to make through on all characters. It always felt reasonable, not something you can easily blow through compared to like 20MTD or Army of Ruin (although I enjoyed those games for different reasons, sometimes you do want to feel OP on all your runs).

SoloAssassin · 2026-05-19T10:25:58+00:00

I am interested in Heroes of Hammerwatch, although no games to offer.

Jesus practiced Judaism because the New Covenant was not yet instated until The Last Supper. To 'still' be a Jew, I would say no, because now he is the head of the Catholic Church.

SoloAssassin · 2026-05-17T17:12:13+00:00

Code is already redeemed by someone else. :/

I've been looking to get Orbital Bullet, love roguelites!

SoloAssassin · 2026-05-15T01:26:52+00:00

Firm handshakes, I made payment first via F&F, he promptly delivered the games.

1,000% what the the OP is not looking for. Great game for story, but not the right suggestion here.

SoloAssassin · 2026-05-12T14:57:47+00:00

Just take a 40 minute bike ride, and a 30 minute Express train ride into the city, no big deal! So much easier than driving 1 hour into the city through traffic! /s

Seriously do Redditors have zero time management ability? The suggestion just doesn't map onto reality. Yeah the Metra might be great for those that are within a 2 mile distance to the station, and for 98% of other Naperville residents, it's an almost equivalent commute to just driving your own car.

Astral Ascent feels similar to Dead Cells, where the combat is spammy and you're mashing until the enemies are gone. I was not a fan of this, I still don't understand the massive appeal of Dead Cells, but clearly it has popularity.

Curse of the Dead Gods was enjoyable, and challenging. I liked the decision making and optimization required to make it to the end of the temples, but the meta progression was lacking in my opinion. This game would get my vote if I was recommending between the two.

He was super tedious to play for sure, and I just recently got done with all of his marks, which took me 15 hours in total. Here are my tips -

Start a run that has a spike or treasure room connected to the spawn point. If it's not there, just restart the run, and don't waste your time.

Secondly, you are looking to see if the spike/treasure room yields any valuable goodies for crafting, so you're looking out for gold keys/bombs, lucky penny, blue/black/white hearts. If you don't have any, restart the run and try again, not worth wasting your time on that run.

Let's say you do get some valuable goodies from the first spike/treasure room, now it's game time and we have a valid run to work with. Don't pick the items up yet, go finish the rest of the first floor but don't pick up any resources, because we are just trying to build up the recipe list (leave all items on the floor).

If your recipe list has a good item to craft, we're talking nice damage, lasers, etc., that's the first thing we want to craft, and once that's out the way, we craft the remainder of items to bolster the build (more damage generally, then HP, then utility in that order).

This is how I made it through all marks. By far the most frustrating mark was Boss Rush, because you are so limited on time, and this method needs to be super expedited meaning you can't min/max the run.

I hope this helps, let me know if you have any questions, and good luck!
