Side-scrolling roguelike which can be played in real-time and turn-based mode. Notable features: you're not alone in your dungeon quest - you're accompanied by your faithful minion, who often does the dirty job for you. Also, there's quite complex magic system. You collect runes, which have various effects, depending on how you use them. If you eat the heal rune for example you get healed, but if you cast it on a piece of armour you get slowly healed while you wear it. You can also throw runes and if you accidentally or intentionally throw it at wall - something surprising may happen. There are of course regular spells to cast also, objects to pick up, even wall graffitis to read. Gloomy Diablo-like music does the rest.

Red Rogue
Developer's description:
"You are Red, the widow of the hero from the original game of Rogue. Your dead husband has broke his way out of the Underworld and has lead you to the Chaos Dungeon to restore him from his undead status. Find the Balrog who killed him and take back the amulet of Yendor - it is your only hope of restoring your husband back to life.
Red Rogue is an attempt at combining Rogue and the platformer game genre. It's design philosophy is to be playable with only 5 keys (more through customisable key bindings) and have simple gameplay, yet have the complexity of a standard roguelike that is revealed only through constant experimentation with the elements in the game (like NetHack).
The game has 20 races, 20 weapons, 20 armour and 20 spells across 4 zones and two unique areas: The Overworld and the Underworld. It also has other features such as sliding walls, traps, kicking decapitated heads at foes, secret areas, Death, the Grindstone and more."
Interesting game that seems to be quite simple at first, but when you play for a while, you will find out that it is hard to master.
