Roundguard

Roundguard

It would be easy to dismiss Roundguard as a Peggle clone, but this is far from the case. While it uses the same addictive formula as Popcap’s title, the developers have wrapped it up in a full-fledged dungeon crawler complete with health, enemies, bosses, and loot. Roundguard is also not a game you’ll complete once and be done with, as the roguelike elements, character classes, relics, and randomized elements boost its replay value. The game has a surprising amount of depth but is simple enough to understand that even casual players will have a blast.

Gameplay: The game is easy to pick up and play but addictive enough to keep you hooked.

Graphics: Roundguard features charming characters, and even the enemies look great.

Sound: The audio consists of catchy music and upbeat sound effects
