      yeah man caves of qud is pretty cool.

      Does Ganker actually play these or are you latching onto the "roguelike != roguelite" meme?

        caves of qud is unironically a nice game, but people seriously need to stop equating 2 completely different games and putting them in the same genre, no homosexual is gonna go yeah man can i have a game like binding of isaac and want to be recommended rogue and vice versa. they are 2 completely different types of games.

      Yeah CoQ is good shit. Unfortunately once you've played it a lot and gotten good at it, it isn't that long of a game to breeze through the main storyline, then all that's really left to do is frick around deep underground looking for artifacts.

        Even after 200h I still die a lot in the deep underground tbh, mostly because I discover an enemy that I've never seen before or I'm just unlucky.

      False, Valve set the precedent. Roguelites no longer exist, they're just roguelikes now.

          You're just factually incorrect in regards to the genre supposedly being dead.

          • 2 years ago

            You're right, Valve saved the genre from dying by merging all of the autistic "subgenres" into one

              >subgenres
              Roguelites aren't a subgenre of roguelikes. Roguelites aren't even remotely similar to roguelikes.

    Isaac and Gungeon. Slay the Spire if you like card games. Hades if you want a good story but not so much gameplay. Gunfire Reborn if you want a good FPS rogue lite.

      Gunfire Reborn movement is far too slow for me to enjoy. I put a number of hours into it but i really hate the snail pace.

      why would anyone care about garbage turn based rpgs in this day and age? strange to pick these over games like dead cells or noita or slay the spire

    tales of maj'eyal aka Tome4 and dungeon crawl stone soup are the only good roguelikes, if you're VERY new dungeons of dredmore is a good starter roguelikes.

    anything that gives you power ups between runs isnt a roguelike its a timewasting game that makes you grind buffs to win instead of rewarding skill/smart play

      TOME has the same issue, but the Diablo-like loot keeps the dopamine going
