Games Like Heartless Dark

About Heartless Dark

Heartless Dark is a top-down action-roguelike with survival horror elements. It plays like a familiar top-down-shooter but your flashlight is your only view into the darkness - oh and your 6th sense... Resources are scarce and even the furniture could be trying to kill you.

Note from Roarke (the developer): Heartless Dark was designed as a 'coffee-break roguelike' - easy to pick up and put down and not hugely demanding of your time. A run could be completed in around 20 minutes if you're good enough. While it may not contain thousands of item combinations, hundreds of enemies and complex meta-progression like other games in the genre, I've still put my passion into creating a unique, atmospheric and replay-able experience. Action-Roguelike: Shoot, dodge, stun, electrocute, throw bombs and other tools as you kill monsters in abandoned corporate offices. Expect procedural levels, stats, upgrades, synergies, multiple characters and perma-death.

Oppressive Darkness: Your flashlight is your only view into the darkness all around you. Oh and your 6th sense...

Survival Horror: Your survival relies on spatial awareness, managing your limited resources and learning to use hazards to your advantage.
