2025 has been a great year for gaming, but indie games and Roguelikes have been popping off espechally this year. In light of this, let’s look back on some of the top-rated Roguelikes of 2025.
Top-Rated Roguelikes of 2025
When ranking the top Roguelikes of 2025, we’re basing our list primarily on Steam ratings, as compiled from SteamDB. If your favorite game doesn’t appear here, it simply didn’t make the top 10 according to this data. With that in mind, here are the top-rated Roguelikes of 2025:
Omelet You Cook
Omelet You Cook is a cozy, chaotic cooking roguelike where your job is to make omelets under pressure. You pick ingredients off a conveyor belt and combine them to satisfy quirky, demanding customers — all while navigating hazards, weird restrictions, and ever-increasing score goals.
White Knuckle
In White Knuckle, you are a climber in SUB-STRUCTURE 17, a massive underground concrete labyrinth. To survive, you must scale walls, manage your gear, and climb fast — all while a creeping horror rises behind you. With every run, you unlock new abilities and learn more about the structure — but one mistake, and you fall. It’s a tense blend of speedrunning, roguelite progression, and atmospheric horror.
StarVaders
In StarVaders, pilot a powerful mech to fight off the alien invasion in this ultimate fusion of deckbuilding and grid-based tactics. Discover game-breaking combos, rewind time to alter your fate, and protect the future of humanity in this endlessly replayable roguelike.
Nubby’s Number Factory
Nubby’s Number Factory is a plinko-style roguelike where you work at a number factory. Launch your spherical friend, Nubby, down a pegboard to make bigger and bigger numbers. But beware, if you fail to meet your number quota, the sun will explode. It also sports a very bizarre art style like Cruelty Squad.
Stick It to the Stickman
In Stick It to the Stickman, you’re a blue stickman fighting your way up a brutal corporate tower. In this physics-based roguelike brawler, punch, kick, and blast through hordes of red stickmen using wild weapons and crazy power-ups.

Demonic Mahjong
In Demonic Mahjong, you journey through the underworld in a roguelike, deck‑building twist on classic mahjong. Use your tiles to form powerful combos, recruit spirit allies, and grow your strategy as you climb toward an otherworldly showdown. Along the way, you gather relics and offerings, shape your hand with tile variants, and face off against demonic bosses in a series of unique, event-driven battles.

In Monster Train 2, you command a monster-filled train, using a deck of cards to recruit units, cast spells, and defend your Pyre across three vertical battlegrounds. With five new clans to choose from, plus new card types like Room and Equipment cards, you’ll experiment with fresh strategies as you battle across Hell, Heaven, and the Abyss. Between runs, you’ll customize your train, unlock unique “Pyre Hearts” with special abilities, and take on handcrafted Dimensional Challenges, Endless Mode, or Daily Runs.
