Summary
June 15-22 Steam Next Fest prompted Rogueliker to pick 15 standout roguelike and roguelite demos, led by climbing survival game Ascenders: Beyond the Peak and dual-deck dungeon crawler Shroom and Gloom.
Several selections hinge on distinctive hooks: GunCrypt builds weapons from more than 60 rounds, Star Trek: Warp turns the franchise into a deck battler, and Feed the Scorchpot frames runs around serving a dragon for 20 years.
The roundup also spotlights broader subgenres, from survivors-likes such as Warhammer Survivors and Hand of Fate: Hordes to co-op action games including MineGeon: Renegades and Chained Beasts.
A few demos arrive with notable release context, including MineGeon: Renegades ahead of its July 14, 2026 launch and Mexican Ninja as one of the rare featured titles confirmed for PC, PlayStation and Xbox.
The list underscores how strong June's Next Fest is for roguelike fans, spanning deckbuilders, traditional roguelikes and action roguelites after Steam Bullet Fest earlier this month.
