margin-bottom: 0px;\" class=\"sharethis-inline-share-buttons\" ><\/div><p>Another month, another great Humble Mobile Bundle to add to the gaming backlog.\u00a0 This time around, it&#8217;s a simple theme: Roguelikes, the super hard genre of dungeon exploring and item management based on the classic game Rogue.\u00a0 Given it&#8217;s a genre more about thinking through moves and strategy than twitch reactions, it&#8217;s a great genre for the less precise controls of a smartphone.\u00a0 Let&#8217;s see what the bundle has to offer:<\/p>\n<h3>$1 Tier<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Desktop Dungeons<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Desktop Dungeons: Adventuring 101\" width=\"620\" height=\"349\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/aZS1wNXtvTo?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer;

autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>bit Dungeon is a real-time roguelike, so the enemies aren&#8217;t going to wait for you to come to them before attacking.\u00a0 However, bit Dungeon is a very simplistic game, as there are not special skills or anything of the like you have to activate on the fly.\u00a0 Just get in there and start slashing!<\/p>\n<p><strong>bit Dungeon II<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"bit Dungeon II Gameplay Trailer\" width=\"620\" height=\"349\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/XFliOzeWYR0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Being a sequel, bit Dungeon II offers a bunch of improvements over the original game, including nicer graphics and more varied looking locales.\u00a0 Judging by this PC trailer, it&#8217;s clearly made for mobile controls, too!<\/p>\n<h3>$5 Tier<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Pixel Heroes: Byte &amp; Magic<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The Making of Pixel Heroes\" width=\"620\" height=\"349\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/MywzEfHUjOQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Pixel Heroes is a very content heavy roguelike that&#8217;ll give you a lot of bang for your buck.\u00a0 There are three campaigns to work through, 30 classes to unlock, and just a whole bunch of stuff to work through.\u00a0 This is definitely the game of the bundle that will keep you entertained for hours.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Road Not Taken<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Road Not Taken Launch Trailer\" width=\"620\" height=\"349\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/tg7XSGNKySg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Road Not Taken is a beautiful roguelike puzzle game, in which you&#8217;re trying to save children that have gotten lost in the woods.\u00a0 Each area is randomly generated, and it&#8217;s of utmost importance to try and save as many kids as possible, as it affects the world around you.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dungelot: Shattered Lands<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Dungelot: Shattered Lands Launch Trailer\" width=\"620\" height=\"349\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/MlCBJOGA8zM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Dungelot is pretty similar to Desktop Dungeons at its core, with a different coat of paint.\u00a0 Like Desktop Dungeons, you tackle single rooms, but Dungelot is a bit more connected with its world, and the rooms are a bit smaller so they&#8217;re quite a bit easier to clear&#8230; not that Dungelot is easy, of course.<\/p>\n<h3>Beat the Average Tier<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Heroes of Loot 2<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Heroes of Loot 2 - procedural dungeon crawling action adventure\" width=\"620\" height=\"349\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/AqQUOFtUfK8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer;

but with a civilization on the line, it&#8217;s up to you how you want to handle your path to freedom.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Star Chindy: SciFi Roguelike<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Star Chindy: SciFi Roguelike - Gameplay Trailer\" width=\"620\" height=\"349\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/tTOOPWOU-1I?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer;
