“River City”
Hell yeah brother
“Roguelike”
Eww
Roguelikes are just modern day arcade games. Except with the added benefit of not stealing your money.
I know! 😅
I got both previous games and liked them. But I’m so tired of roguelikes!I didn’t like them at first, and I missed a lot of the early ones, but I realized over the weekend, roguelikes(& lights) are pretty much all I play anymore.
I’ve played a few, and there’s stuff like Double Dragon Gaiden that I’ve enjoyed (but it’s pretty light on the roguelikeness). I got Absolum too, but I haven’t played more than a couple of hours yet. I feel like they’re designed to keep you playing over and over and being forever games. But the gameplay is just not there in most cases, at least for me. And I prefer the curated experience over a randomized experience every single run.
I think they just happen to fit into my schedule better then anything else. My favorite games of all time are the REAL immersive ones, Elder Scrolls and Fallout the like, but I don’t often feel like I have enough time to really dig into them. I don’t start playing them, if I don’t know for certain that I’ll have multiple uninterrupted hours. With the roguelikes, I can get a quick run or two in, and if there’s time for more, then I’ll keep going.
Looking at you Vampire Crawlers! It ate up most of this past weekend!
