Wayward Souls
Wayward Souls is a randomly generated action-RPG with a heavy focus on story. Play as seven different heroes, all with their own abilities and playstyles. Fight through steadily greater hordes of enemies, as you learn about each character and find out what happened in the cursed tower you find yourself in. Greatly inspired by 90's era action-RPG's, but with a faster pace and a focus on randomized replay value. Customize each character with their own upgrades and equipment sets that change their movesets and abilities. Over 100 different monster types. Over 300 hats (IMPORTANT) Unique story events for every playable character. Many different areas, room types, rare rooms, encounters, and secrets. Unlockable game modes, including Endless Mode. Heavy replay value due to randomly generated levels, multiple character types, and randomized enemy groups.

Warning: I booted this up again recently and got a weird visual glitch which made all the text disappear. Game hasn't been updated in a while, so if this is becoming a problem for other people, don't count on it getting fixed.
Good art, good music, story. This is technically a roguelike, but the focus is much more on getting to know the combat and learning enemy AI than it is on choosing the correct upgrades or on luck. Combat is slow and deliberate, about managing multiple enemies at a time and minimizing health loss. You will never end up feeling overpowered, this game doesn't let you ascend to godhood, even on the best possible run.
Good room variety but no branching paths. Great variety in playable characters, they have very different styles. Relatively low variety in upgrades and items.

I come here to say a few things about this game. It deserves more review to start. The lure of this game has always pulled me back from when I first got this on Android. The game is not too grindy once you learn the patterns. The Android version is no longer available. The pc port has extra features and improvements. This is one of my favorite modern roguelites. Not for everyone just like marmite. I won't post any spoilers but if you buy this game and love it,kudos to you. 8 5 for me. Deadcells I gave 8 binding I gave 9. I just love this games compelling nature. Simple 8 way movement four way combat 16bit style. Oh and great music.
