Survivor games which are very similar to roguelites can also be an option. Vampire Survivors being the big one. Runs are up to 30 minutes long with permanent unlocks in the form of characters and new power ups or boosts.
It's interesting that this has now become its own genre! I haven't actually played any - what games are there besides Vampire Survivors and Brotato?
Halls of Torment is probably my favorite "clone". Feels like "Vampire Survivors, but Diablo".
Soulstone Survivors is also pretty good.
Thanks - I wasn't aware of either of those before! Is VS still the best of the lot?
Army of Ruin is the best VS game imo, and surpasses it. After playing it, going back to VS is bleeeh :)
I think it's still considered the baseline gold standard, but there are an absolute ton of games in that genre that have followed it.
Soulstone Survivors is probably the 2nd most popular from what I hear when people mention them.
20 Minutes Till Dawn is another I hear mentioned a fair bit.
