The only number I want going up between runs is the difficulty.

Doomsday Hunters is now out. I got this game three years ago because I liked the pixel art. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1175360/Doomsday_Hunters/

unattended spaghetti posted:I too have dreamed of a regression roguelike. Honestly I think you could do it in a way that doesn’t feel punitive. I had the idea of it being something like FTL, where you're on a ship that's on some kind of expedition. Your crew can gain experience, but you're out in the unknown so your supplies are for the most part only going to go down, equipment will only ever degrade, etc. Might be infuriating to actually play, but it was the most straightforward way of doing it that came to mind.

Metaprogresser? I hardly know her. Got Breach Wanderers on a whim and found it fun, but a bit easy so far. I assume the difficulty ramps up a bit later? Either way it's fun to knock a run out in 20 minutes and theorycraft a better engine than last time.

FTL still has shops, even in the red sectors, and the game has random events that just hand you new guns. There's even a couple of 'quests' that are specifically about getting new guns. And mechanically speaking, the point of the game is to gear up, which IMO is a number go up mechanic, to face the flagship, which has some fairly easily definable parameters even if the means of approaching those are quite varied. The 8 sectors are the dungeon, and the ship and its crew and gear are the dude in Rogue, it's a game about progression (within the run), IMO. Of course the RNG aspect of it is that the game can give you a run where you don't get any of the really good stuff, and you have to try and improvise. Or you run into seven missile enemies in a row (  ) and you just loving die because gently caress you that's why, but that's roguelikes!

I went to try it on my phone, because I would mind a card game for my phone, but it runs at what looks like 15 fps, which feels really bad.

Farabel did the start as a hero and get weaker as you progress thing, but I don't know if it does anything particularly rogue-y. Still, might be worth a glance for those of you who've been playing with the idea.

Are there any good roguelikes for mobile around these days? Going on a trip in a few days, and would be nice to have something for the train ride. Coincidentally, I actually did mess around with making a mobile dungeoncrawler using swiping and clicking as movement/interaction some years back, but it fizzled out after getting the basic movement working, like most of my projects. Edit: Already have Slice and Dice.

Going on a trip in a few days, and would be nice to have something for the train ride. edit: nuts! um, how about Card Quest? Low numbers hand builder is the quick pitch. Decks consist of two default cards plus some from your style/weapon/(defence/quiver). Surprisingly fancy descriptions for using the Dragon Whistle to hit areas. It might help if you say what type of mobile you have.

Cheers, I'll definitely check those out. Though I guess none of the more traditional/complex roguelikes have been ported to mobile so far? Oh, and I'm on Android

There are a handful of mobile ports of traditional roguelikes but a lot of them just use an on-screen keyboard and end up pretty terrible. You could always try Pathos! It's effectively a Nethack fork that was designed entirely for mobile.

Sproggiwood is a goon-made mobile roguelike, and is very good. Seconding the suggestion for Hoplite. You might also look at MicRogue.

slammed out another 15-rune in dcss with an extremely busted octopode shapeshifter. my highest score yet! http://crawl.akrasiac.org/rawdata/Tommu/morgue-Tommu-20230722-185651.txt the shapeshifter changes in trunk are a lot of fun but they might be a little too easy to use? it's been moved from a spell school to something more like an evocable, so you don't have to pump your intelligence or train magic skills on top of your fighting skills. unless you want to. do what you like. it's a free country anyway if you haven't gotten a win in dcss yet, do it with a shapeshifter, you'll fly right through it

Transmuter was always my favorite class, but yeah the spread on skill points was always brutal. Having to get unarmed fighting, spellcasting, transmutations and a smattering of secondary magic schools to support the shapeshifts was really rough. This sounds much easier. Still in the ToME waiting room.
