TLDR: Rogue Fable IV. Really impressed with its early version changes/upgrades from RFIII, which is my favorite roguelite by far. Just one person, passion project.
Highly reccomend.

Wrote this bottom part first and it started to ramble. Can't say enough good things. There's a roguelite called rogue fable 3 that ive hundreds of hours over the years before I finally was done with it. I thought it was just a great mix of challenge, variety, pace and enjoyment, while only taking 45-60 min to beat the game. There were days I binged but usually I just played the "daily challenge" and whether I won or lost it satisfied my "gaming itch".
Just a single developer doing all the work, with help from community feedback, he consistently updated the game to keep it feeling fresh, with no additional cost, for years.
Wasn't sure if I'd be interested in the new one, hard to recapture sparks, sequels often fell short, moved on with my life etc, but I started playing the prealpha version again and after lots of adjustments/testing/fiddling it just had its web release. I'm very impressed with the changes so far, new mechanics and solutions, more streamlined levels/encounters, more dynamic combat and skills.
It's free right now too so if you like games at all I'd give it a shot!
I'll save this link. Thank you!
Great! I cant reccomend it enough. A lot more content is already prepared for the steam early access release in a few weeks so that would be as good as any time to give it a shot.
I've played and enjoyed a lot of similarish games but for me personally they were ultimately either too long or too shallow for any sustained replayability. It doesn't play like slay the spire but to me it's right up there with it in terms of being completely satisfied with the 45-80 min playthrough one day while still wanting to come back to try it again the next.
Understood. It seems this is the best one then.
