Comment on Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing?
cod@lemmy.world 1 day agoThank you!
Fair enough. I haven’t played many roguelikes before, I suppose I’ll have to get into them. I know there were two you mentioned in your comment, are there any more you’d recommend? Specifically for someone without much experience in the genre

Eh, it is not a genre by itself, I was referring to roguelike as more of an archetype of short, repeating game loops that have progression by unlocking things and increasing difficulty.
As for the genre itself, you can have many different types of games. As I said, slay the spire is probably the best deck building game, monster train is similar in some ways but is more tower-defense like and more combo-y, slice and dice is tactical dice-based, Brotato is more arcade-y rpg-like combat. Hades is tactical arcade combat, but needs two hands. Balatro is poker-card-based combo-y puzzle. Dungeons of dredmor is a bit older but very fun actual Rogue-like game. Caves of Qud is similar but very complex and deep and harder. Inscription is another fun card-based game, but is more of an one-off mysterious experience rather than repeatable a lot.
You can certainly find something that interests you.
