It seems like every game is getting a Roguelike reimagining nowadays, and I’m all for it. Not even the old Windows classics are exempt from this trend, and Minesweeper lends itself super well to the formula.

That said, there’s one particular take on the ol’ sweeping of mines that has consumed my free time to levels I’m embarrassed to admit: Tacticsweeper by Moocowsgomoo, a free game that introduces turrets, cryomines, scanners, and a wide array of other tools and threats to spice up the classic formula in an intoxicating way.
