Anyone else play way too much flatspace when it first came out?Parallax Scroll posted:normally i use numpad for movement so how the gently caress do you play these on a laptop Numlock or usb numpad for old games, new games like crawl are optimized (you basically just hit O until you auto-wander towards something and then use the mouse from there)

Even if we leave aside some of the questionable design decisions, the problem with ToME4 as roguelike is that it's an extremely long game where the vast majority of fights are completely trivial but then you run into one tough enemy (usually just a randomly generated 'elite' or whatever they're called) that absolutely annihilates you and blocks you from using all your healing and escape options.

Most (all?) of the Mystery Dungeon games post-Shiren II make you basically beat the game before you get to the actual roguelike section. Shiren II is good though.
