My takeaway is that it’s only original Rogue fans that care about the delineation of the terms. Is there a modern (i.e. post 2000s game) that matches the definition of a roguelike as given in the article?

    Highly recommend FTL: Faster than light for PC. Shits addictive.

    For phone, try out PixelDungeon! It’s really fun, really hard, and it has an active community here on Lemmy at c/pixeldungeon

      Addictive indeed! FTL is not just my favorite roguelite but maybe my favorite game of all times!

        Have you played the Multiverse mod? It’s the only mod I’ve tipped my toes into, there’s just so much content! My current run I started a few weeks ago on a Ghost Cruiser, and I just picked it back up and somehow now have a crew of full Mantis and no ghosts on node 4.

          Yes I played it, the amount of content is impressive. However I only went deep enough to kill the standard Flagship a few times (on hard difficulty, which felt easier compared to AE) and did not find any of the secret endings.
