HyperRogue
HyperRogue certainly fits in the "unique" category. This roguelike has a very special premise: it is set in a non-euclidian world; specifically it takes place on a hyperbolic plane. But if that sounds like techno-babble to you, just think of it as a game set in a world where the normal notions 2 or 3 dimensions work a bit differently and everything is very trippy. HyperRogue is not only a mathematical experiment, it's also a full roguelike consisting of 44 worlds with various gameplay mechanics and an adaptive difficulty and scoring system.

If you shell out the 5 euros (or regional equivalent) on steam (or the lower price on itch.io and ask the dev for a steam key to go with your purchase), you'll not only get more lands, but also an improved 3d look and animations for enemy movement.
ReplyDeleteI recently started playing this and I've already sunk 16 hours into it.
The free & open-source version usually gets the latest updates delayed by a couple hundred days, so you're free to wait, too.
Oh, and I almost forgot: the game has a whole bunch of special game modes, including a real-time mode and also local multi-player (for both turn-based and real-time play)
