  In this thread, supposedly bi-weekly, a roguelite game will be chosen by popular vote and I will (probably) make as informative a playthrough of it as I can, given the time allowed. Generally one video per game, but possibly more if the game is worth showing off.  Whatever I say it is! In general games that fall into the roguelite genre can (generally) be boiled down to a set of four criteria: - Composed of procedurally generated content - Features perma-death - Focus on non-tile / turn based gameplay. - Is not the game Rogue Obviously this leaves a lot of room for different genres and types of games, so it's sort of a wide umbrella. Spelunky, Binding of Isaac, and Rogue Legacy are three popular examples of the roguelite genre that everyone is probably aware of. There's some contention on whether these games should be called roguelikes or not, or if some are roguelikes and some are roguelites, or other dumb minutia, but I'm calling everything in here a roguelite.  Once I've finished the currently game I'll be selecting 3 roguelites from the big list I've compiled. The thread will get to vote on which one is picked. Once a roguelite is selected the following will happen: - I will make one (or more) videos going as in-depth as I can about that game. - I will try and stream the game as I learn it, so those interested can watch me be bad in realtime. In the previous roguelite thread I burned out both because it turns out a lot of games are bad. This time I'll be updating a bit slower, with hopefully more of a focus on design and quality picks. I'll also only be playing games that are fully released unless they're in a really, really good. I still want to showcase terrible games in some fashion but probably with shorter bonus videos.

   I love space junk oh boy!!!  Ok for real though what's the different between Roguelites and Roguelikes? Well, one time some people got together at the International Roguelike Development Conference in Berlin and had a discussion about what a roguelike is. They identified 'high value' and 'low value' factors that can help us determine what a roguelike is. Missing some of these criteria doesn't mean the game isn't a roguelike, but it should have most of them: HIGH VALUE FACTORS - Random environment generation: The game world is randomly generated in a way that increases replayability. Appearance and placement of items is random. Appearance of monsters is fixed, their placement is random. Fixed content (plots or puzzles or vaults) removes randomness. - Permadeath You are not expected to win the game with your first character. You start over from the first level when you die. (It is possible to save games but the savefile is deleted upon loading.) The random environment makes this enjoyable rather than punishing. - Turn-based: Each command corresponds to a single action/movement. The game is not sensitive to time, you can take your time to choose your action. - Grid-based The world is represented by a uniform grid of tiles. Monsters (and the player) take up one tile, regardless of size. - Non-modal Movement, battle and other actions take place in the same mode. Every action should be available at any point of the game. Violations to this are ADOM's overworld or Angband's and Crawl's shops. - Complexity The game has enough complexity to allow several solutions to common goals. This is obtained by providing enough item/monster and item/item interactions and is strongly connected to having just one mode. - Resource management: You have to manage your limited resources (e.g. food, healing potions) and find uses for the resources you receive. - Hack'n'slash Even though there can be much more to the game, killing lots of monsters is a very important part of a roguelike. The game is player-vs-world: there are no monster/monster relations (like enmities, or diplomacy). - Exploration and discovery The game requires careful exploration of the dungeon levels and discovery of the usage of unidentified items. This has to be done anew every time the player starts a new game. LOW VALUE FACTORS - Single player character: The player controls a single character. The game is player-centric, the world is viewed through that one character and that character's death is the end of the game. - Monsters are similar to players: Rules that apply to the player apply to monsters as well. They have inventories, equipment, use items, cast spells etc. Tactical challenge You have to learn about the tactics before you can make any significant progress. This process repeats itself, i.e. early game knowledge is not enough to beat the late game. (Due to random environments and permanent death, roguelikes are challenging to new players.) The game's focus is on providing tactical challenges (as opposed to strategically working on the big picture, or solving puzzles). - ASCII display: The traditional display for roguelikes is to represent the tiled world by ASCII characters. - Dungeons: Roguelikes contain dungeons, such as levels composed of rooms and corridors. Numbers The numbers used to describe the character (hit points, attributes etc.) are deliberately shown.  This list was made in 2008. That's over 10 years ago! It's pretty old and I can't speak for everyone but I imagine a lot of people think it's dumb bullshit and terminology should evolve as games evolve. Some people also consider some Roguelites to be Roguelikes if they fall into certain critera. For example, Nuclear Throne and Spelunky have almost nothing in the way of character progression and depend almost entirely on luck and player skill, so those might be considered more Roguelike than, say, Rogue Legacy or Everspace.  I can get behind the arguement that we should just say that Roguelites are Roguelikes and start refering to things as 'Roguelike Platformer' or 'Roguelike FPS'. Or maybe just 'FPS with Roguelike elements'. I guess Rogue would become a RPG with Roguelike Elements in that case. However I think the distinction is still worthwhile to me personally. It can get pretty blurry, but I think grids are stupid and Rogue sucks so the Berlin interpretation helps filter out stuff I don't like. For now the thread continues to go by Roguelite to avoid any of that nonsense.

 Click this thing! ^ Thanks for the warm reception, hopefully we'll get another year out of this thread before I'm once again crushed under the weight of the RNG. The updates aren't usually going to be this fast but I've already been playing Void Bastards for a while so I don't really need time to dig into it. I'll also be making a bonus post about roguelite progression systems later. For now...  It's time to choose the next game! Voting will close on Saturday the 12th, midnight PST. Our three randomly generated options are:  Riptale is a challenging 2D roguelike action game aiming to make sword combat be as bloody and impactful as possible. The player collects gems that allow them to execute different attacks in the order of their choosing. All this results in a symphony of combos that fill the screen with blood and guts.  A challenging action RPG with deep souls-like combat and rogue-like elements. Explore a dreadful dungeon and fight smart enemies that will plan and collaborate between themselves to defeat you.  Phantom Rose is a roguelike deckbuilding card game where your cards are not permanent. Build a deck of spells to defeat the phantoms and make careful decisions while you explore as each death is permanent. Slay the Spire but an anime. Tenebrais posted:Core to a roguelike, to me, means you do a series of runs of randomly-generated challenges where if you die (or fail in whatever way is analogous to dying) you can't restore a previous state. Anything that doesn't have those things isn't a roguelike (or a roguelite if that's your preferred nomenclature), I think that's pretty definite. Anything that does have those things is at least arguable. The electronic old men in Berlin thought they knew BUT ONLY I KNOW.

Explore 6 x 6 x 6 = 216 rooms of randomly generated hazards and enemies while collecting the necessary artefacts. Hundreds of monsters are roaming inside, guarding the sword shards — the last known thing to be capable of defeating the demonic castle owner.  Aura of Worlds is a creative tactics roguelite platformer. Explore multiple dangerous worlds where you must utilize your creative abilities and wits to twist the environment to your advantage.

Tenebrais posted:Not sure how to feel about the mechanic of cards being single-use. It would trigger my instincts of hoarding every item in an RPG so badly. But that kind of resource use is great for a roguelike, where you're constantly at risk of losing everything when you die. Personally I would not have the basic cards returning to your deck, and balance your draws around that - make every card a resource spent, rather than giving you a choice between spending resources and playing boring weak cards. The card destruction mechanic definitely encourages conservative (and boring) play. I felt like I could only really cut loose and do all my card combos during boss fights or if I ran into a really strong enemy. In theory you could play fast and loose and live on whatever the last one or two dudes you fought dropped, but some of the bosses (one seen later) will annihilate you unless you've got a specific builds prepared for them. I learned pretty quick to just stockpile resources for each of them.

  Two updates for the price of one! The third one is pretty long, sorry about that.  Despite their one-and-done nature roguelites all tend to have some sort of permanent progression system that carries over between every run. Some have heavier systems than others while others are the most barebones possible, but it’s pretty rare to find one without some sort of progression mechanic. Arguably some would say progression is what makes roguelites ‘lite’. In an attempt to classify permanent progression I’ve separated it into four categories: - CHARACTER PROGRESSION Character progression represents the progression of abilities, health, items, or any other thing that belongs to character that you are playing. It doesn’t mean unlocking new characters or classes (that would be Pool Progression), but refers always to the character being controlled during the current run. For example, in Void Bastards the player will cycle through dozens of characters with minor ability differences throughout their playthrough. The character’s loadout of weapons, however, will always remain the same. All characters have access to the same pool of weapons and upgrades, meaning any character you play will benefit from a shared progression. Mark Brown of Game Maker's Toolkit did a nice video on roguelikes and progression. He noted that this kind of progression can turn the game into a grind where the answer is always getting more abilities instead of improving player skill. The game actually gets easier as it goes on instead of maintaining a constant difficulty. Other examples of games in this category include Rogue Legacy and Everspace. - POOL PROGRESSION This type of progression represents items, characters, and other things that are put into a shared ‘pool’. These items have a temporary nature, either because they’re found at random or because their benefit is removed at the end of the run. The best example are random item pools such as those found in Enter the Gungeon, Isaac, or Wizard of Legend. The player finds items from their pool during the run, enjoys their benefit (or drawback), and the item is stripped from them upon their death/run restart. Players can also have pools of character classes or to pick from for their singular run or pools of starting benefits to pick from for that run. The aforementioned video notes that this type of progression allows the game to retain a more standard difficulty throughout the length of the game. This is mostly true but it should be noted that adding more powerful items or characters to the players available pool will still end up making the game easier in the long run. - WORLD PROGRESSION This is a weird one. A select few roguelites have worlds that progress during play. One example would be Heat Signature, where even if the character dies the levels they’ve liberated still remain liberated. This could also apply to shortcuts and unlockable areas. In Spelunky or Gungeon the player can access shortcuts to further levels, while in Heat Signature previously liberated portions of the map will remain liberated despite character death. - PLAYER PROGRESSION This category represents ‘skill’. How familiar the player is with the systems, the levels, enemies, and other challenges. The more you play a game, the more you progress as a player. Though rare there are occasional roguelites that heavily favor player progression and almost nothing else. The Swindle and Spelunky are notable examples of games that have (almost) no other type of permanent progression. MORE? LESS? This is a pretty rough list so far. I feel like World Progression is a bit iffy, and Player Progression exists outside of the game itself. Maybe it’s only worth separating and refining the first two categories. I’m also not super happy with the name ‘Character Progression’, as I feel that can get too easily confused with literal characters. Anyway, that’s the end of my 500 page essay.

 They can't all be winners. Here's the instruction manual for the game. I like it. Time to vote on the next game!  Deck Hunter is a roguelike card game. The World of Klanojh has been cursed by Glatta, the Goddess of Anger. Build your deck, make combos, defeat fantasy creatures and help Avery to face the evil and restore the balance!  BABY BABY BABY BABY BABY BABY BABY BABY BABY BABY  Control powerful mechs from the future to defeat an alien threat. Each attempt to save the world presents a new randomly generated challenge in this turn-based strategy game. No I've never played Into the Breach.

 There's no such thing as a bad twin-stick shooter (don't prove me wrong). It's time to pick a game!  Claim and defend the Tomb of Tyrants against greedy adventurers by matching tiles to build a deadly dungeon full of traps, minions, and more! Whens puyo puyo.  Airheart is a dieselpunk airplane action rogue like game, where every colorful level is built on top of the previous one, all the way up to the stratosphere. Welcome to Granaria, a flying city in the clouds. Meet Amelia - a young pilot and fisherwoman wishing to reach the abundant worlds edge.  Tower of Guns is a fast paced first-person-shooter for the twitch gamer... with a few randomized elements to keep it fresh with each playthrough. It's a short burst "Lunch Break FPS"... not unlike Binding of Isaac mixed with Doom 2

 Sir Jenkins attempts to kill again in the thrilling conclusion to Curious Expedition. In other news Sublevel Zero is the winner, as decided by me. Reigns is one of my favorite games but I have no idea how I'd talk about it even for the 5 minutes it lasts. I also might do a StS video at some point where I just download a bunch of custom characters from the workshop and run them through the game. That's the only way I can think of to make a video on that game interesting at this point.

 As far as games that play themselves go, Wrack is okay. I had more fun with it than I might have implied, but it still suffers from being a tower defense game at its heart. Here's some new games!  Exit the Gungeon is a small, spin-off 'dungeon climber' immediately following the adventures of the misfit Gungeoneers.  An action roguelike digger. Dig to discover treasure, adventure and bones! Jump, dash, stomp and dig your way through a strange world inhabited by stranger creatures.  Death Skid Marks is a rogue-like car combat game about what so many of us have experienced: a road trip to a music gig... only in this game, things get violent. The game uniquely blends top down arcade action and RPG mechanics. Weird how the game I've been playing obsessively for the past week got on that list, wonder how that could have happened??? Anyway I'm pretty nice at Exit the Gungeon. Party Bug fucked around with this message at 17:17 on Mar 27, 2020 |

 To be honest, this one ain't it.   You are the hero inside the storybook of an obsessed author pondering with his life’s work. Explore repeating worlds, befriend a talking scarecrow and swing your sword really fast, while uncovering the true, overarching adventure within.  Neoverse is a beautiful, fantastic game consisting of adventures with thrilling challenges. It is a strategic, action, rogue-lite, deck building game that will test the player’s skill. Start an adventure with unique heroes to save the world along various timelines.  Fighting against fortune would be a lot easier if you weren't a walking dice. Possibly good games this time? Voting closes on Saturday at midnight MST.

placid saviour posted:I thought you were kinda hard on Roguemance, actually... I’m not entirely happy with how the video came out, so I’ll say this: Roguemance is fine. It’s not really worth more than an hour of your time, though. Which, incidentally, is about how long it takes for a successful run. As noted, it’s just too simple as it is now. The combat system is interesting, but as noted I think it really needs to be spiced up, either with more party members or...something???

Hi friends. Done! Didn't get to show as much as I wanted, but we at least got to see the newest boss addition. Party Bug fucked around with this message at 19:22 on Jun 14, 2020 |

Sadly (not really) Dicey Dungeons was the winner. So expect that video this Weds. The robot sucks and is stupid. Badger of Basra posted:Do we suggest stuff in here? I was gonna suggest Hades, I’ve played it a lot and really like it.

 Probably not much here for Dicey Dungeons connoisseurs, but come this Sunday I'll be doing a stream, testing out some item/character mods and generally getting weird with it. This game is good.  Deep Dark Dungeon is a rogue-lite action game in which the player dives into the deep, dark depths of various dungeons filled with bad-tempered monsters that will attack them on sight.  A challenging action RPG with deep souls-like combat and rogue-like elements. Explore a dreadful dungeon and fight smart enemies that will plan and collaborate between themselves to defeat you.  Flamebreak is a roguelite action RPG featuring a unique blend of twinstick meets MOBA arena combat. Each procedurally generated run presents new challenges while your randomized hero's race, weapon, and skills inspire new playstyles and character builds. Voting ends Saturday at midnight MST!
