Oh also the proper term for games that are like roguelikes but are not roguelikes is now apparently "Procedural Death Labyrinths."

Like Tower Climb.
Tower Climb is a good Procedural Death Labyrinth

I've heard rogue"lite" like they're lovely beers

or roguelikelike, but I don't think these games eat your equipment (only Gamers will get this)

the 12,000th dual stick shooter + permadeath will only sell if you call it a successor to an ascii graphics turn based rpg from 25 years ago.

I hope the term Roguelikelike sticks. Its complete destitution of self-evidence is beautifully ironic considering how much people seem to disagree on what is a roguelike to begin with. Plus it sounds rad.

dungeons of dread more might, in particular, be a roguelike. But that won't save it from being a lovely game.

why the gently caress do they all still control like they're from the mid 90s. let me actually walk around with WSAD and poo poo.



actually just make one that plays like secret of mana but replace the anime storyline with endless dungeons and loot.

It is exactly, literally Secret of Mana meets Diablo and it's pretty good. You can even play with friends. And yes, it is crazy dumb that it never came here.

There is a fan translation for soma bringer it seems.

Untold legends on the PSP would be another diablo-like with pad controls but it's pretty mediocre.

It seems that the psp have other games like this now that I looked into google do you guys know if any of those are good: Zenonia, dungeon siege and neopets wand of wishing.

Where does it hurt?
i don't know how they'd aim AoE spells but i'd like controlling these like bastion

i don't like how arpgs control much so i don't play them. the last time i played much one of my friends hosed his save by being a huge rear end scrub in torchlight 2 and i ended up getting everyone to install a hundred mods at once and managing to accidentally gently caress out network up with the amount of packets one of my moves was trying to use

i should see if van helsing works well with a controller, i know it has settings for that and im pretty sure the game is light on aoes that dont originate from you
