A little bit Darkest Dungeon, a little big Diablo, with a dash (okay more than a dash) of CCG for flavor. The Cook approves.

While this is definitely a rogue-like, it's not an annoyingly difficult one (unless you choose that difficulty you masochist). It's a fun game that doesn't demand all of your attention. Each time you delve into a new layer of the dungeons, you can choose (thanks to the 'Flexiscope) the size and a rough timeframe of how long it'll take. Only got twenty minutes? Well, good news! There's a dungeon for you. The game will even give you an estimate of how long a boss level will take before you dive in. How many games do that? Can't say I've encountered any before and it's pretty swell. (Mind, it does pause when the window is out of focus)

The card mechanic is easy to pick up and understand. The tutorial is unobtrusive. The story isn't stellar or ground breaking, but I can forgive it that for the sake of the rest. Especially when we consider the art. The art is great. It's a gorgeous game. The 'paper' style is done so well and it carries well. Play it if only for the cute folds, the little flames when things ae burning.

Or, you know, the coin in poop. Because you know you can't resist picking up coins in games, even when covered in poo.
