I've sunk probably a thousand hours into Slay the Spire, have beaten Hades, and just finished Cult of the Lamb. Looking for something else to scratch that itch- preferably on switch. Any suggestions?

Update: Y'all convinced me. I bought Binding of Isaac and am excited to start. I also tried out Dead Cells via Netflix, but feel like I'd prefer it with a controller compared to mobile. Gonna start with Isaac, and wait for a sale on Dead Cells. Thank you for all the recommendations! I'm saving this thread for future reference.

The Dead Cells devs have been putting in work on their multiplayer rogue lite Windblown, which is super fun. Hades 2 is in a great spot and will keep getting better Risk of Rain (1+2) both fantastic

But for really obscure and interesting mechanics and a true rogue like experience: Noita. It's pixel graphics but every foreground pixel is simulated and there are a craft huge number of interactions between substances and spells. There's deep lore that you have to be very dedicated to decipher. There's an actual alchemy system that changes depending on map seed. Oh, and it's really hard.
