I like roguelikes and I'm sure some other imps do, so let's play them. What I was thinking was we'd pick a game and then give everyone a week to learn it and see who can put up the highest score. I'd like to do some older/obscure games that people haven't played before to keep the playing field even and get us all trying new stuff but that doesn't mean we can't do the classics as well. Only criteria is it needs to be an actual straight up roguelike, not a "[BLANK] with roguelike elements". Also there's a million free roguelikes so I'm not planning to pick any commercial games. (but I may reward winners with steam codes to lovely indie games!) Let me know if this sounds like fun or if you have suggestions for challenge format or games to play. Also let me know if you have really strong preferences regarding ASCII vs. tiles and that can guide game selection. Discuss below and let's have fun!

Absolutely. I suggest Big Busty Quest 2 on Vita. Anyone else have that?

Haven't played anything aside from DCSS and DoomRL recently but I'd be up to learn something else

To clarify I'm talking tile based RPG stuff, without making any judgments on whether or not randomized twinstick shooters count as roguelikes or not. doomRL is great cause if you played doom you know what all the weapons and enemies do right off the bat, so it would be good if we have roguelike noobs who want to get on board

DCSS or DoomRL first I think. Later on something like TOME 2 would be cool to see, or a selection from those "build a roguelike" competitions that are run every so often cus those can be fun and weird.

IVAN would be good because I think it's relatively short, or at least it was when I played it 8 years ago

I thought IVAN was the impossible one. maybe it's short cus you always die quickly?

IVAN just got a patch they're still working on it. Any game where you can magically transmute your arm into banana-flesh and then eat it is pretty good

The Orville posted:this just made me want to play this game lol I haven't played it in probably 10 years but it's got a really cool limb damage system where you can get reduced to a wriggling dismembered torso. It's also very short but brutally hard and (at least it used to be) making it past the second screen was an accomplishment . I need to check it out again

It's also got a weird material and trait-based system so any item can be made out of anything and characters and monsters can have traits like "masochistic" or whatevercode:

IVAN owns but it (or at least the version I played years ago) has an awful system where monster generation scales with your character strength, including equipment, so it basically punishes you for finding loot.

Sounds like there's some votes for DCSS, so I'll probably kick it off with that come Monday. I'm not too familiar with it personally so i'm looking forward to it. Any thoughts on reporting scores? Save it all until the end, or post em as you go to so you can try to one up your fellow gamer?

you should post them as you go imo

That explains why the easiest run I ever had was when I dual wielded books lol

Ive never played any of these but Ill give it a shot.

IVAN sounds awesome, I've never played that one. DCSS is probably the best option because it's so easy to get into and has the added benefit of webtiles. So people can just post what server they're playing on and their username and thread watchers can see them play.
