Megabonk review: an absurd, charming, yet potent evolution of the Survivors-like formula

2025 has been excellent so far for roguelike fans, with so many unique and fun games coming out one after the other. From Hades 2 to Silksong, we've seen some heavyweights drop in 2025, but indies (which these two also are) have, too, dominated the scene.

One such game is Megabonk, the latest roguelike craze that takes inspiration from games that've defined the genre, but sprinkles in some of its own ideas, with the result being an absurd, meme-packed, chaotic title that truly stands out. It was made by a single person, but it plays as if a whole team of geniuses worked on it, refining recognizable mechanics into a new and refreshing experience.
