Games like Pathogenic: cellular roguelikes and build-breakers
Pathogenic casts you as the disease - a twin-stick cellular roguelike where you graft organelles, fight the immune system, and carve soft-body paths through lungs, heart, and brain. The hook is modular builds inside a microscopic arms race, not open-world crafting. These follow-ups keep action-roguelike depth, buildcrafting, and hostile biomes without wandering into unrelated survival sandboxes.
How each game relates to Pathogenic
Prioritized action/roguelike/buildcraft overlap from our scored reviews; removed tag-noise misfits (e.g. open-world companions, unrelated wuxia sims).
