Kaz, a new Steam roguelike that's like Balatro combined with a Flash game from the Newgrounds era of the internet, is Steam's coolest new roguelike.

The short version

  • It’s not often that I feel like I need to begin a video game recommendation with a health warning, but Kaz earns one.
  • The ultra-fast indie game I’m about to tell you about can wreak havoc on your wrists if you play it for too long at once.
  • I couldn’t pry myself away from it during my first session, and I learned this lesson the hard way.

What happened

I’m confident that you’ll understand why I got myself into that position once you try it for yourself. Developed by Kalinarm, Kaz is a new roguelike that’s available on Steam for $7 .

Why it matters

Its price tag matches its small scope; the elegant arcade game doubles down on a straightforward premise that you’ll feel compelled to dive into over and over again.
