Roguelikes are a goddamn blight on humanity.

I enjoy a really good one here and there

Ugh man i can’t stand them. Lazy game design. Them and those Subnautica survival type games.. and Soulsborne games and it’s clones are getting real close for me as well. I hated Balatro as well.

Remember folks if you don’t know what type of interesting game design and mechanics to put in the game you are making just make it a rougelike.
-The slogan that’s on the bulletin board in every indie studio.

Holy cow. Even Balatro? Have you actually played it? Some just stay stuck on the idea that they must keep everything on death or game over. It's literally no different from fighter games, super mario, and so mamy games where once you die you restart with unlockables rather than a set character with a gear of inventory. Except all a souls like does is restart you at a different point of the level without your souls, blood echoes, etcetera and maybe recover a soul form type of thing. If you find that lazy I don't know what to tell you. All it does is refresh pacing in a lot of cases to have mid and late game benefits but with the early game feel of progression mixed into every new play through.

This sounds like if I disliked racing games I should just tell everyone how bad they are like it's not a subjective opinion. If it was something actually controversial and with a point like cheap ad riddled mobile games or f2p crap then we'd get somewhere.

Why are you acting like someone is forcing you to buy/ play them?

[pwnmaster3000]

Because that’s how gamers are.

Yet here you are commenting on roguelike reviews like you think anyone cares lol

I’ve been playing this the past couple days and it is way more fun than it has any right to be. It’s the mystery and the challenge that has me hooked, I keep going back for one more run until it’s way too late or I’ve made myself late lol

I couldn't agree more. It's so much deeper than ' place the rooms to get to the end one' . I'm 26 hours in and it gets in your head. Gamers with the attention span of a bluebottle - it's not for you, just walk on past.

I started playing it earlier. Did two runs but I have to say it didn't drag me in at all. May give it another try, may delete it.

[monkey602]

I am absolutely loving this game

[Rainbowcookie]

It's really good
