The success of these “clone” games is highly dependent on walking that line between the new mechanics and keeping the formula close enough to what works.īreach Wanderers is in development from Baronnerie Games and is available as a free download on Android and iOS, currently listed at $14.99 on Steam early access.

Largely, these games will copy the majority of the mechanics and try to introduce something that makes them unique. Whenever a game is successful, other games will always try to piggy back off the success. I am a huge fan of this type of game the combination of replayability, randomness, and finding that amazing synergy to finish a run makes for short bursts of amazing gameplay. While Slay the Spire wasn’t the first game of it’s type, it’s certainly been the most popular and has spawned a lot of new games following the same formula. The Roguelite Deckbuilder: it’s a trendy genre of games that has exploded in popularity since the release of Slay the Spire in 2017.
