Upsidads posted:No this is in fact a good one, not great on a plane but still super solid I do not have a chromebook but it looks like it is just built on linux? You have to enable support in some dev menu, there are instructions on this page, and then you should be able install any roguelike with linux support (which is almost every open-source one, including the offline build of DCSS. Open source devs love linux!) Give Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead or the fork Cataclysm: Bright Nights a shot too. It's an open world zombie survival roguelike. And DoomRL for short and sweet dungeon dives full of blasting demons in the face with a shotgun. ToME4 too. If you are into games with ascii (no tiles) give FrogComPosBand a try, it's a fun kitchen-sink fork-of-a-fork-of-a-fork-of-a-fork of angband.

The latter is the dev of Caverns of Xaskazien, a roguelike that gets mentioned here sometimes, and he seems to like to do very traditional stuff like Moria and Angband. edit: got the name William Henry Hairytaint fucked around with this message at 17:11 on Oct 22, 2022 |

There are also two video LPs of Nethack, one of them seems to be gone because a lot of these older video hosting sites no longer exist, but this one is archived on Archived.org still.

He mostly plays ADOM, but he does from time to time play other games too. He really does know his poo poo when it comes to ADOM though; he found so many bugs in it down the years that the Wand of Grond is named for him (Grond being his ADOM forum handle).

crossposting since y'all seemed interested, i've implemented a targeting system and an inspect mode now and the next step is using the targeting tech for throwable sub-weapons and activated abilities

sorry for doubleposting here but i recently came to the realization that i think i prefer "coffee break" roguelikes that are small and self-contained without a million systems - infra arcana is still my absolute favorite, i think it's really tightly designed and fun even if i die on the first level. anyone got any recommendations for similar ones?

I played it a bit at EA launch but it was a bit of a rocky start, a lot of required metaprogression to even see a win, not a lot of variety. I waited until the most recent patch and the progress wipe to try it again and so far the experience is a lot smoother and I am going to put quite a bit more time in I think.

I made a build where my wolves kill things and those things spawn fire ghosts when they die and then every time someone burns more ghosts happen. It's one of those games, where messed up synergies are the point. Like Siralim.

Rift Wizard also does the super important thing where the numbers are quite small and understandable, and all the upgrades are absolutely enormous

Probably making a joke about the opposite, about how most builds are built around a ton of passives with only a few spells thrown in to get the ball rolling. edit: Someone has won with every terrible gimmick you can imagine, but in general the idea of "just keep buying bigger spells to nuke bigger enemies" is gonna run into a wall very fast. Spawners filling the screen with chaff quickly outpace your action economy of one spell a turn, so you need a lot of "free" stuff that triggers off of each other to do the heavy lifting. A good example is the classic ice build: it's mostly just a heavily upgraded Icicle with snowball as backup, but there's two mid tier ice passives freeze extra enemies per ice spell cast, then damage everyone when dudes unfreeze, which leads to a lot of passive murder.
