A distinctive visual style goes a long way. With so many videogames coming out all the time, the lush artwork of something like Hades and the Saturday morning cartoon aesthetic of a game like Cult of the Lamb help make a new roguelike stand out in its genre. This is definitely the case with Vellum, a fantasy roguelike that sets itself apart with a unique look, and which has just launched in Early Access on Steam.
