Comment on Roguelite atrategy
Kruulos@sopuli.xyz 6 months agoWait what? Slay the Spire was on your list? Care to elaborate on that a little bit more?
All my Slay the Spire runs start with the exact same starter deck and I do not have extra health, damage, or other bonuses from my prior runs. I don’t get your point.
FTL? What the heck. If I beat the flagship I don’t get any bonuses for beating it for my next run.
I don’t know if we understand ‘roguelite where we get permanent bonuses for next round’ in the same way. In Hades and Rogue Legacy your run will most likely be more stronger than your last run because of permanent upgrades. In FTL, Slay the Spire or Into the Breach you don’t get those - you just expand the available starting gear / setups.
STS has unlockable cards, characters, and relics by earning XP on each character. This is easy to forget if you’ve been playing a long time because you probably unlocked all of that stuff within the first 10-20 hours of play.
Additionally, you could consider the progression of ascension levels up to A20 as a form of metaprogression.
When you first start out you unlock new cards for all the characters as well as the ascensions going up to 20. In my perspective I believe this would qualify as progression. But to each their own.

In FTL you unlock new ships and variations. In Into the Breach you unlock new mech classes and get to keep a pilot and all the experience they gained.
