    Roguelike

    Concept »

    Roguelike is a sub-genre of role-playing games characterized by the exploration of randomly-generated dungeons and permanent death. These characteristics were featured in the classic computer game Rogue, hence the term "Roguelike".

    Patrick wants to play more 'roguelikes', which should he play next?

    Doesn't Binding of Isaac: Rebirth come out soon? I'd say that.

    I vote Isaac: Rebirth or the FTL expansion, whichever comes out first. Rogue Legacy in the meantime.

    Nethack. Nethack. Nethack. Nethack. Nethack. Nethack. Nethack. Nethack. Nethack. Nethack. Nethack.

    I really think he should play nethack. that or SLASH'em

    As much as I love Nethack, we both know that it'd be pretty incomprehensible to follow on a livestream.

    Though, the idea of a Patrick reaction GIF when he puts a wand of cancellation into a bag of holding five hours in makes me tingle all over.

    I dunno, what if they do the sprite version and zoom that in? Personally always reeeeally liked the ASCII version and that one could also just be blown up! Oh, and I'd hope he'd go all out in the sokoban then get the amulet of reflection instead of a bag of holding (and he still doesn't have one).

    I've been saying if Trickles wants to play a roguelike he should sack up and play Rogue.

    @patrickklepek - I'm with these guys. You should play the original Rogue so people like me don't have to :P

    You know, that's not a terrible idea. Maybe not suitable for a multiple entry feature, but could be interesting given his viewpoints on the term roguelike. Not saying that the dead horse needs any more kicking, but there might be some value in looking at what influenced the recent turn in trends of game design.

    How about Rogue? No more -likes. Play the real thing.

    @falx said:

    He should play Rogue.

    @hatking said:

    He should definitely play Rogue.

    Binding of Isaac is awesome, and when they rerelease it it'd be a good opportunity to bust it out.
