Minato

Minato – Minesweeper Roguelike

Minato is a fresh twist on the classic minesweeper, blending strategic roguelike elements with challenging mechanics. Instead of solving one board at a time, players progress through increasingly difficult stages, unlocking artifacts and facing bosses that completely reshape how the game is played.

Introduction

Unlike traditional minesweeper, Minato adds depth through artifacts, consumables, and modifiers. Bosses bring dangerous twists like limited visibility, random numbers, time limits, or chain-reaction mines, forcing you to adapt your strategy each run. Every playthrough feels unique, combining classic logic puzzles with roguelike unpredictability.
