Soulash

Soulash is a fantasy roguelike where you play as a forgotten god set on destroying the world. · By Artur Smiarowski

What other games like Soulash are you playing?

So for all our sanity's sake, I guess we should sometimes play other games. Trying to get into Tales of Maj'Eyal but it's not quite scratching some itch for some reason, I wanted to make this thread for bringing attention to games big or small that share even just an inkling of the same presentation or inspiration as what we've seen so far from Soulash. 

In interest of that, I'll go first. Below is a small one called "Chomp!" done for a 7DRL challenge which I've had in the back of my head but couldn't remember the damn name of until recently. I would call it a roguelike Rampage-clone if I had to tag it on the spot. You smash and burn the city, level up your kaiju monstrosity, evade cops and hide from increasingly dangerous responses to your actions by using the city environment to your advantage.

In a similar but more complex vein, anybody that likes Soulash that hasn't played Cogmind yet please grab it at some point, even the free 7DRL version to see if it's up your alley. The visual presentation alone is so strong for what it is.


Alright so whatchu folks got? Weird, obscure, difficult, or beautiful in it's own right and maybe hasn't been mentioned on /r/roguelikes recently? I wanna hear about it.

I like Dwarf Fortress in Adventure Mode because its necromancy is similar to that of Soulash's. Both games permit huge armies of unlimited undead. Aside of that, I also like ToME but you said you don't enjoy that. KeeperRL is cool and also has base building. Caves of Qud is nice.  Fear & Hunger is a really weird and disturbing Japanese roguelike with some necromancy.  Conquest of Elysium 4 is good. Rift Wizard might be good for you too.

Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead.  It's more of a zombie survival game, but boasts probably THE most detailed and robust crafting system amongst roguelikes; has mods that replicate magic and necromancy; and has plenty of medieval / fantasy weaponry to use if one wishes to go that route.  Includes things like trying to manage your own camp of survivors and jousting on bicyles, and building your own vehicular death fortress with sawblade guns or catapults on it.
