What is this list?
Randomizers are game modifications and utilities that randomly arranges original game data in a way that significantly increase their replayability. Their randomization are applied before or when starting a new game in order to effectively generate many different games to experience based off the originals. They are also designed to prevent new unwinnable states to the game, or at the very least make such issues extremely unlikely or have easily-applicable non-destructive workarounds.
Randomizers may feature major gameplay tweaks to accomodate possible randomized changes, or other additional minor improvements. However, a game modification or utility that may change any other gameplay element and which cannot be disabled would not be considered a randomizer, as the modified game would become closer to a custom game instead of a randomized one.
This list shows all video game randomizers known to me that are not bundled with the game they randomize, regardless of their fun factor. They are listed by the games they randomize and grouped by game series, along with the randomizer's name in parentheses and additional documentation whenever necessary. I update the list frequently and try to keep it up-to-date to the best of my abilities.
In order to prevent the list from being polluted with randomizers that do not conform to the above, the following is not considered sufficient for inclusion:
- Official games and tools.
- Not playable by the general public.
- Incomplete coverage of a randomized data type.
- Chaotic effects.
- Reliance on pre-randomized data.
- No significant gameplay changes beyond superficial ones.
- Can easily be performed without game modifications.
- Inconsistent randomization outcomes within the same playthrough.
- Random object injection within original game areas.
- Recurrent object swapping during gameplay.
- Guaranteed to be beatable only by using expert techniques that trivializes the randomization.
- Custom data required to be mixed in the pool of game data to be randomized.
The following rules are used to determine the game name showed in the list:
- For games with different versions, the list refers to the base game name only, unless an alternate version has significantly different gameplay content in which case it is considered a separate game.
- For games with official expansions or downloadable content, only the base game name is listed, even if said expansions or DLCs are required for the associated randomizer to work.
- If at least one official English name exists, the most current one is used, with American English prioritized over European English.
- Official Japanese names with no official English equivalent are romanized in international Kunrei-shiki, with the exception of katakana which is directly translated.
- Whenever different games have identical names, the list refers to the one originally released, unless explicitely specified.
- Legal characters are omitted.
- Uppercase used for emphasis only are changed to title case.
If you ever notice a video game randomizer valid for inclusion that is not already listed, please contact me so I can add it! Special thanks to the numerous contributors so far that have made this list what it is today!
I want more!
You can chat with other randomizer enthusiasts on the Randomizer Central Discord server community.
You can look for the Randomizer tag on Twitch to easily find channels streaming live randomizer video content.
Many popular randomizers have progression trackers available. EmoTracker is a popular tool that hosts a large collection of them.
For those interested in creating randomizers, you can listen to the Making a Randomizer panel from Awesome Games Done Quick 2019 explaining the process in detail, or read The Philosophy of Randomizers by Niamek. ROMHacking.net is also a great resource with plenty of technical information and tools for hacking video games in general.
For those that perfer an original game experience but still want to experience a randomized challenge, Retro Bravery, Scenario Generator and Hitman Roulette can generate interesting rulesets with randomized goals for many classic video games.
While this list is focused on third-party video game randomizers, there are also many official video game randomizers out there. Most notably, the unlockable item randomizer included in the Nintendo 64 version of Resident Evil 2 is believed to be the very first item randomizer ever.
Note that randomizer variants also exist for tabletop games as well, such as Fischer Random Chess and Monopoly Randomizer.
