>>724250653Classically, an old school dungeon crawler RPG, typically with an emphasis on survival and mechanical depth, where dungeon layouts were randomized.
>>724250653Roguelike is a game where you explore procedurally generated dungeons, the games feature grid based movement and turn-based mechanics. The key is that once you die it's over you gotta start again.
>>724251572That's like asking "what makes a game like Dark souls". You look at the game you have as the base comparison and compare it to others like it.Hence the "-like" part.

>>724250653Roguelikes are the left column. Games of an actual genre.Roguelites are the right side column. They're just games, of any genre, with elements of the former.
>>724257192>Rogue SurvivorFuck, I wish it wasn't dead.
>>724258219At least you can play the versions that still exist.
>>724251572turn-based. tile-based. procedurally generated. permadeath. no metaprogression outside of your own understanding of the game's mechanics.
>>724258691>turn-baseda very specific kind of turn based where time still exists and the game just pauses after the time that each action you take ends, allowing you to select another action.A far better solution than ap/mp or any other kind of turn based system if you ask me

>>724251960>classically>typically>probablyThe actual Rogue-likes are games like Rogue. Just like "Diablo clones", which can be called "Diablo-likes", are games like Diablo. And "DOOM clones", which can be called "DOOM-likes", are games like DOOM.Shit OP, shit thread.
>>724253339Marketing experiment worked due to "influencers", marketing doubled down to push revisionism which favoured their respective companies economically.
>>724251218This is the only correct answer
>>724261890I was trying to describe games that were "like Rogue" and what that meant. Naturally, there's variation in what constitutes a game that is "like Rogue," since they're not all exact copies.Where did I say "probably"?
>>724263443>Where did I say "probably"?Logical conclusion. I should've added more hemming and hawing but couldn't be bothered. It's just insecure flailing around.
>>724253339Because everyone's played a Metroid or Castlevania game, hardly anyone has actually played Rogue.
> OP being a faggot> OP posing as other posters also being faggotsstop being a fucking nigger from the third world and learn what the word "like" means in the english language.>"What is an orange?"Then Anon explains what an orange is.>"So it's like a genetically modified pig, then?"This is you and what you sound like.You're not as funny as you imagine yourself to be, kill yourself right fucking now.
