most-played roguelike/roguelite
hit action roguelike The Binding of Isaac
highly acclaimed roguelite and roguelike games, such as Hades, Vampire Survivors, and Balatro
i’ll accept that roguelite means fuck all except ‘has meta progression’ but none of the games mentioned in this article are roguelikes
Well its does not mean “fuck all”. It means the games are run based and randomised.
Also Rogue had zero meta progression.
of course you’re right that a core feature of roguelikes is that each new game starts from scratch. it’s roguelite that is vague
It’s a decent enough game, but I don’t really love it. The items are all so boring and the passives aren’t much better. Wish there was actual run-changing items like in Isaac.
From what ive seen the crazy stuff is quite a ways into the game, too much of a time commitment for me
I’ve played a bit now. My first broken build was probably around 30 hours in. Which, yeah, is a bit.
I enjoyed the game before I started seeing broken builds. It’s still a solid tactics game. But it’s a genre I like.
Hot damn, that’s actually wild considering his original game being so popular already, and also the first Hades AND Vampire Survivors existing.
Definitely gonna pick it up myself at some point soon.
Oh, after doing some research, it seems the person who wrote this article did not do theirs. I’m pretty sure Don’t Starve Together, Megabonk, and Elden Ring Nightreign (if you want to count that) all still beat out Mewgenics (especially Nightreign if we count it, by like such a large gap.)
I can’t even figure out what “rougelike” is supposed to mean anymore.
It means “similar to red”
