Pixel Dungeon

Kicking off this week's theme of more RPG greatness is Pixel Dungeon. Recommended by DaHui623 in the forums, this is a roguelike RPG where staying alive is the name of the game. That means you'll get to explore randomly generated levels with an unrelenting level of difficulty punctuated by permanent death.

To start, you choose between three character classes — Warrior, Mage, and Rogue — which each have unique strengths and weaknesses. Find the one that works best with your play style and see how far you can make it! You unlock a fourth class, the Huntress, once you've defeated the third boss in a run.

Your character always remains in the center of the screen, and controls are simple — tap where you want to move in the dungeon and the whole screen shifts to that spot. when you come across an enemy, again you simply tap to attack — but be careful, because if you die you start over from scratch!

Pixel Dungeon is absolutely free and open source software. If you love it, there's an in-app option to send the developers a donation.

Mage Gauntlet

Last week's post was anchored by Wayward Souls, a fantastic game that I've really fallen in love with (in no small part thanks to finding a puppy sidekick in one of my playthroughs), but priced at $7.99, it might not be for everyone.

That's why ZoneofJhay recommended Wayward Soul's "little brother", Mage Gauntlet. Developed and published by the same companies as Wayward Souls, Mage Gauntlet is another classic-style action-RPG in the same vein as Legend of Zelda: Link To The Past. The developers describe it as a "fast-paced RPG that doesn't waste your time with fetch quests."

The game features 84 levels to play through split between the two difficulty modes, and is built around a quick levelling and stats system that lets you fully customize your characters. Like Wayward Souls, this game is all about skill and playing to your character's strengths and weaknesses. There are 110 different hats to unlock and collect, as well as 19 pets (YES!) that will follow you around and help you out along your way.

If you passed on Wayward Souls because of the steep price, check out Mage Gauntlet instead!

The Walking Dead No Man's Land

Keeping on the RPG-theme, 2Peks1Bird recommends The Walking Dead No Man's Land.

Based on the wildly popular AMC drama about zombies (like you didn't already know that), No Man's Land is an action-packed RPG where, just like in the show, the choices you make may lead to dire consequences. Combat is turn-based, as you strategically fight against hordes of walkers through the Terminus, The Prison, and other locations that fans will be familiar with.

Graphics look sharp and, despite the freemium mechanics at play here, you shouldn't have to spend much (or any) money to enjoy the strategic levels. The Walking Dead is wrapping up it's seventh season Sunday, April 2 so there's a bunch of new content — including new challenge maps, heroes, and weapons — being introduced in the coming weeks.
