Coin Crypt

The mechanics involved are pretty unique and will confuse many players, but I thought it was fun to figure them out anyway.

Runs can be a little too same-y, working in more randomized elements would definitely be to the game's benefit, but it offers fun gameplay and a large cast of playable characters, each of whom adds their own spin to the game's formula.

The combat system is fast-paced but strategic, and there's a huge variety of classes and unique coins with unique effects.

The simplicity of its visuals and controls allows the core mechanics to take the spotlight, and it’s that mechanical creativity that makes the game memorable.

I don't normally go for those given that they're tough as nails generally, but coin crypt has just the right amount of challenge (the default difficulty is normal, I keep it on normal even though I usually play games on easy).

I like games that not only have full controller support but also games with quick >10 minute runs with lots of unlockables + procedurally generated maps.
