AI-powered picks based on gameplay, mechanics & feel

Enter the Gungeon

Like Serious Sam: The Random Encounter, this game throws you into a bullet-hell frenzy, but with a rogue-lite twist. You'll die, learn, and come back stronger, constantly battling absurd enemies with an arsenal of bizarre weaponry.

Ziggurat

If you enjoyed the blend of shooting and RPG elements in Serious Sam: The Random Encounter, Ziggurat offers a similar first-person rogue-lite experience, trading sci-fi for a magical dungeon crawl where every run is a new challenge.

78% Match

Children of Morta

While shifting from a shooter to a hack-and-slash, Children of Morta offers a similar blend of challenging combat, RPG progression, and a surprisingly deep narrative, all wrapped in a beautiful pixel art style reminiscent of your source game's aesthetic.
