Each month brings a few generic titles, but some really stand out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not every roguelite needs fully realized mechanics; sometimes the art, writing, and pacing are enough to make me stick around. 2025 shows no signs of slowing, even in November, and a few releases from this month have already caught my attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">DOG WITCH<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re disappointed by the lack of dog games this year or witch games, for that matter, DOG WITCH has you covered. It\u2019s a roguelike deckbuilder that mixes Slay the Spire and Dicey Dungeons, offering bite-sized runs packed with fun spells, hundreds of artifacts, and quirky enemies to fight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"DOG WITCH - Launch Trailer\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/-yPK3fy6ZDU?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>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I love the charming art and quirky writing, and appreciate the DOG WITCH customization available. Beyond the surface, it\u2019s actually quite engaging, and I\u2019ve already had several runs where I used completely different strategies and synergies thanks to the dice system. You can also summon stuff! Point is, for the low cost of $10, <a href=\"https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/app\/3548520\/DOG_WITCH\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">DOG WITCH<\/a> has a lot of value!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Vivid World<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Until last week, I had no experience with auto-battlers and wasn\u2019t familiar with Vivid Knight at all. Vivid World, a follow-up to that game, recently launched as 1.0 on Steam, and based on everything I\u2019ve seen so far, it\u2019s an improvement in every way. After playing for several hours, it\u2019s safe to say there\u2019s a lot of depth here despite its largely simple premise and cutesy art style.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"357234\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/primagames.com\/featured\/roguelites-worth-playing-so-far-november-2025\/attachment\/vivid-world\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/primagames.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Vivid-World.jpg?fit=1200%2C675\" data-orig-size=\"1200,675\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Vivid World\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Image via Asobism&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/primagames.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Vivid-World.jpg?fit=300%2C169\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/primagames.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Vivid-World.jpg?fit=640%2C360\" height=\"360\" width=\"640\" data-id=\"357234\" src=\"https:\/\/primagames.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Vivid-World.jpg?resize=640%2C360\" alt=\"Vivid World\" class=\"wp-image-357234\" srcset=\"https:\/\/primagames.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Vivid-World.jpg?w=1200 1200w, https:\/\/primagames.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Vivid-World.jpg?w=300 300w, https:\/\/primagames.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Vivid-World.jpg?w=768 768w, https:\/\/primagames.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Vivid-World.jpg?w=1024 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Image via Asobism<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>You need to be conscious of your party\u2019s composition, gems to support the units, and resources to manage, and it\u2019s really about optimizing your encounters if you want to get the most out of your team. There\u2019s a lot of variety in units, so you\u2019re always collecting new ones without things feeling stale. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Vivid World - Official Version 1.0 Launch Trailer\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/xc-xw1MuhP4?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>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I also like the meta-progression, since you\u2019re always improving even after a bad run. If, like me, you\u2019re unsure what the genre has to offer, <a href=\"https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/app\/2468550\/Vivid_World\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Vivid World<\/a> does a great job of introducing it. It&#8217;s approachable, but pretty deep at the same time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Into the Grid<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, something completely different in tone from the two above: Into the Grid is also a deckbuilder, but instead of a charming fantasy world, it dives into a cyberpunk dystopia. The game packs in tons of clever ideas, blending deckbuilding with resource management and tabletop-style mechanics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"357236\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/primagames.com\/featured\/roguelites-worth-playing-so-far-november-2025\/attachment\/into-the-grid\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/primagames.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Into-the-Grid.jpg?fit=1200%2C675\" data-orig-size=\"1200,675\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Into the Grid\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Image via Flatline Studios&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/primagames.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Into-the-Grid.jpg?fit=300%2C169\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/primagames.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Into-the-Grid.jpg?fit=640%2C360\" height=\"360\" width=\"640\" data-id=\"357236\" src=\"https:\/\/primagames.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Into-the-Grid.jpg?resize=640%2C360\" alt=\"Into the Grid Screenshot\" class=\"wp-image-357236\" srcset=\"https:\/\/primagames.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Into-the-Grid.jpg?w=1200 1200w, https:\/\/primagames.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Into-the-Grid.jpg?w=300 300w, https:\/\/primagames.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Into-the-Grid.jpg?w=768 768w, https:\/\/primagames.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Into-the-Grid.jpg?w=1024 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Image via Flatline Studios<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>So, what\u2019s the biggest problem with deckbuilders? Bad hands. Into the Grid tackles this with the VIM system. Even a weak hand contributes to the VIM meter, granting access to different commands during battles. It\u2019s a refreshing change that removes the frustration of RNG and makes every turn feel meaningful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Into the Grid - Trailer\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/73vstahukWQ?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>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The art is another highlight, full of fun character designs reminiscent of cyberpunk manga like Blame! or Ghost in the Shell. <a href=\"https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/app\/2576200\/Into_The_Grid\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Into the Grid<\/a> has launched into early access, but there&#8217;s a lot of content even now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Upcoming November Roguelites!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>That&#8217;s not all!

Each month brings a few generic titles, but some really stand out. Not every roguelite needs fully realized mechanics; sometimes the art, writing, and pacing are enough to make me stick around. 2025 shows no signs of slowing, even in November, and a few releases from this month have already caught my attention. DOG WITCH If you\u2019re disappointed by the lack of dog games this year or witch games, for that matter, DOG WITCH has you covered. It\u2019s a roguelike deckbuilder that mixes Slay the Spire and Dicey Dungeons, offering bite-sized runs packed with fun spells, hundreds of artifacts, and quirky enemies to fight. I love the charming art and quirky writing, and appreciate the DOG WITCH customization available. Beyond the surface, it\u2019s actually quite engaging, and I\u2019ve already had several runs where I used completely different strategies and synergies thanks to the dice system. You can also summon stuff! Point is, for the low cost of $10, DOG WITCH has a lot of value! Vivid World Until last week, I had no experience with auto-battlers and wasn\u2019t familiar with Vivid Knight at all. Vivid World, a follow-up to that game, recently launched as 1.0 on Steam, and based on everything I\u2019ve seen so far, it\u2019s an improvement in every way. After playing for several hours, it\u2019s safe to say there\u2019s a lot of depth here despite its largely simple premise and cutesy art style. You need to be conscious of your party\u2019s composition, gems to support the units, and resources to manage, and it\u2019s really about optimizing your encounters if you want to get the most out of your team. There\u2019s a lot of variety in units, so you\u2019re always collecting new ones without things feeling stale. I also like the meta-progression, since you\u2019re always improving even after a bad run. If, like me, you\u2019re unsure what the genre has to offer, Vivid World does a great job of introducing it. It's approachable, but pretty deep at the same time. Into the Grid Finally, something completely different in tone from the two above: Into the Grid is also a deckbuilder, but instead of a charming fantasy world, it dives into a cyberpunk dystopia. The game packs in tons of clever ideas, blending deckbuilding with resource management and tabletop-style mechanics. So, what\u2019s the biggest problem with deckbuilders? Bad hands. Into the Grid tackles this with the VIM system. Even a weak hand contributes to the VIM meter, granting access to different commands during battles. It\u2019s a refreshing change that removes the frustration of RNG and makes every turn feel meaningful. The art is another highlight, full of fun character designs reminiscent of cyberpunk manga like Blame! or Ghost in the Shell. Into the Grid has launched into early access, but there's a lot of content even now. Upcoming November Roguelites! That's not all! There are plenty of neat-looking rogue-lites still to come out in November, and I thought I'd list them: Forestrike: Tactical Kung-Fu! Cross Blitz: Deckbuilder RPG! Morsels: Creating-collecting rogue-lite!
