What are the good ones? I've only played picrel but liked it.

Rogue

>>12629646
If it's Rogue, then it can't be a roguelike.
>>
>>12629646
No that's a roguelite. Different genre.
>>
>>12629618
Nethack
ADOM
angband

>>12629618
Baroque

Are the Mystery Dungeon games any good?
>>
>>12629728

Dragon Crystal - basically very simplified devamp od Fatal Labyrinth for SMS/GG. It's rather primitive and relatively easy, but I like it like that.
Still, I'm curious if there are some hacks removing leveling system. I feel like that would make it significantly more difficult and interesting.

>>12630017
This is probably the only Japanese Roguelike-like that I really liked.

I know I could probably like Dragon Crystal since I liked Fat Al Labyrinth so much but the difference in aesthetics is off putting. I wonder how hard it would be to hack the wall and floor graphics to match FL's.

if Flash counts as /vr/ platform then....
>>
So basically /vr/ doesn't know shit about roguelikes. Makes sense, because there's so many console focused players here.
>>
I thought roguelikes were THE neckbeard unc genre, but turns out it's a popular genre with zoomettes and alphettes? What happened?
>>
>>12631654
Just guessing, but they play mobile games and there are millions of roguelikes for mobile.
>>
>>12631667
As far as I can tell they play indie-style modern ones released on Switch or Steam

all the rogueheads moved to /vrpg/
>>
>>12631654
roguelike elements are used in a lot of games these days, causing roguelites or whatever to be big, which has caused some (SOME, NOT ALL) of the more knowledgeable youths to go searching and find the origin genre
>>
>>12629661
No one said rougelite until 10 years ago when binding of isaac clones flooded the market, zoomie.

Nice vagueposting.

I know that there was some decomp project for it but I'm not sure how far it went.

Figments of spin draw out your hopes, showing the vacuum within.
>>
>>12632360
This is the first one I played, still one of my favorites.
>>
>>12632360
I'd say its a roguelite but honestly its so close to rogue it might be an honorary roguelike.
>>
>>12632260
That was obviously just a shitpost, anon. No one actually thinks that Rogue, literally the game that defined the genre, is a roguelite.
>>
>>12631653
/vr/ only knows about Nintendo games made for children, that's about it.
>>
>>12632260
Believe it or not, roguelite also used to mean something and it's way older than BoI
>>
>>12632983
this nigga read a post that doesn't have a lick of meaning behind it and thought to himself "hmmm i agree"
>>
>>12631507
this and fatal labyrinth are the only roguelikes i've ever actually beaten. they're so fun, but these are are definitely baby mode for babies.

i just legitimately have ADHD that is too severe to handle a proper roguelike. that doesn't stop me or trying, though. ive been playing stone soup or two decades despite never having made it past the swamp.
>>
>>12632993
Every other game having "roguelike elements" in the tags now is probably to blame for that.
>>
>>12631653
Castle of the Winds>>12631507
, Tower of thee Archmage >>12631646 , this puke >>12630404 , Elona >>12630017 , all of this >>12629703 are PC games.

are you another AI chatbot?

What was the first roguelite that had an element of metaprogression anyway?
It's popular to hate on metaprogression nowadays but I know for a fact that shit is ancient.
>>
>>12633056
DooMRL was a roguelite before metaprogression even became part of the discussion, and was (one of) the first to implement it.
>>
>>12633018
The meaning is this thread sucks, anon. Did that really go over your head?
>>
>>12629703
Did you try the new nethack update?
>>
>>12633198
nethack is still getting updates? wild.

i'm >>12633029 and have only made it the dumbass sokoban puzzle in nethack once. i mostly just fuck around as a wizard or archeologist for fun. what's new? is any of it close to the beginning so my attention-deficit ass will actually see it ever?
