Right and Down

About

Right and Down is a roguelike that swaps complex controls for two simple directions. You pick a hero and navigate randomly generated card-based dungeons by moving right or down. Each choice reveals new hazards, loot, or enemies. Collect artifacts to unlock abilities and upgrade your character. Combat and exploration rely on strategic pathfinding rather than button mashing. The goal is to survive as far as possible, reaching level 100 is the ultimate challenge. The game’s stripped-down mechanics emphasize planning over reflexes. Every decision feels weighty with limited options. Players praise its tight loop of risk and reward, blending RPG progression with puzzle-like dungeon design. Released in 2022 by indie developer mc2games, it’s available on PC, PS5, and Switch. Its minimalist approach hides deep strategy, making it a standout in the roguelike genre.
