HubertManne, 13 godzin temu do gaming w Why are there so many bloody roguelikes or roguelites, and what really makes a game roguish?

Its sorta funny hearing the term for me because I can’t away from thinking about ascii dungeon crawls when I hear roguelike.

What makes a game roguish?

• Random level design
• Death is permanent
• Turn based gameplay
• Grid based movement

Most modern roguelikes tend to only have the first two of these, tho. But those are the 4 main elements of the original game for which the genre derives its own, Rogue.

And Rogue-lites tend to make progression persist after death, at least partially. Such as with the unlockable weapons and things in Hades, while the boons and other abilities are pick ups you only have until death untill you pick them up again the next run.
