Bestest Best Roguelite: Hoplite Challenge Mode

Hoplite was one of the best games of 2014 and would have certainly been in the running for a place on our celebratory calendar if it had been released on PC. It’s a fiendishly clever puzzler/roguelite that uses a small set of skills and enemies to create a tense and tactical battle of wits. Originally developed as part of the 7 Day Roguelike Challenge (it came fourth), the final version is available on iOS and Android.

Now there’s a new version of the game in development, planned as an entrant in the next 7DRL. It’s a Challenge mode, providing players with a random (?) combination of skills to play with.
