 Latest update: Deathstate WHAT IS HAPPENING!? In this thread, supposedly bi-weekly, a roguelite game will be chosen by popular vote and I, roguelite professional Party Bug, 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. WHAT IS A ROGUELITE? 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. HOW IT WORKS 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. Wow! Generally I'm going to stick to released games of at least middling quality. I might showcase bad games in some fashion, but I'd rather actually play things I don't hate. HONOR THE ANCESTORS The previous roguelite threads can be found here: - Roguelite Thread - Roguelite Thread: 2nd Run - Roguelite Thread: One More Run That's probably over 100 roguelites, think of the value! SHILLING MY BULLSHIT If you like me and what I do you can support me by doing the following cool things: - Posting in this thread. - Visiting my stream at twitch.tv/pbug (Tuesday / Saturday are my usual streaming days). If you subscribe to me Jeff Bezos will give me 4 dollars.

Top gun sucks anyway. (My external drive I have all my stuff on is failing and causing a bunch of issues, so I'll have to re-do the video someday. Going to work on not loving up the Black Future one for now.)
