Now we’ve Dicero, a casual roguelite adventure title from the creator of the Archero series, HABBY. And if you’ve tried their games before, you’ll instantly feel that familiar charm here, but with a fun twist, of course, as every battle begins with a dice roll. With this, you can build powerful skills just by rolling and defeating the enemies.

The gameplay is very easy to get into, so you don’t have to waste time on long tutorials. As you progress, you unlock a variety of gear and talents to gradually build your character. I’ve tried the game, and I can honestly say that no two runs feel the same, and beating unique Bosses is quite satisfying. If interested, you can try it via the Google Play Store or App Store.

4. DRAGON QUEST Smash/Grow

Release Date: April 21, 2026

Fans of the DRAGON QUEST series are in for a treat with DRAGON QUEST Smash/Grow, a new roguelite RPG from SQUARE ENIX.

You can even unleash powerful Coup de Grâce attacks to clear waves of enemies, while random Blessings help you adapt and grow stronger as you progress. If you like the classic vocations, you can now build your own team and enhance their abilities with upgrade nodes.

So, whether you want to team up with others in co-op quests or enjoy solo challenges like the Shrines, there’s a lot to keep you engaged. Try it via the Google Play Store or App Store.
