What is your roguelike of choice anons?
ADOM's pretty fun.
One Way Heroics if it counts
DCSS, though I haven't played it in years. I'm afraid to look up how much shit the devs have removed since then.
one way heroics is shit it keeps fucking scrolling you can't go backwards
Infra Arcana is pretty fun and tight.
>it keeps fucking scrolling you can't go backwards
Well yeah, that is the entire premise of the game
I think TOME with decent graphics would be GOAT. In fact im pretty sure most rougelikes would be
Cata DDA, if that counts
Otherwise probably TOME
fuck that i want to go back fastest fucking refund
BoI
Elona+.
But I don't play with permadeath so it doesn't count.
a ton of stuff was removed for the sake of streamlining, some of it good, some just kind of bleh. Removing the Djinn race pissed me off though, it was fun, although i get why they removed it, it was kind of OP sometimes.
Fucking.Same.Dungeons. Combine ToME with Stone soup and it is perfect
Fucking love Maj'Eyal, have several hundred hours in it.
A good number of some really old roguelikes with an update to graphics would make 10/10 games
Angband with art from something like dungeons of dredmor would be so good
I used to really like poschengband just for the novelty the massive character generation offered before it fucking died.
Kind of hard to get into it now though given it's forever unfinished and also deleted from existence.
They need the early level melee reworked though. Just bumping into stuff is so tedious. Take some cues from other games with melee combat.
I've never played one before. Should I?
>nice, found some decent artifacts after first round of dungeons
>damn this character is strong
>whew now that was a close Master fight, time for the Far East
>zzzzzzzzzzz
About half of my runs in ToME follow this sequence. Why does the Far East have to be such a slog?
Oh boy a roguelike thread, I'm sure this won''t be ruined by semanticfags.
What's a roguelike for someone who fucking hates roguelikes?
>You want the baby roguelite stuff user
What don't you like about them?
yes. i'd start with Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup, it's relatively beginner friendly with tutorials and has a tiles version so you don't have to put up with ascii graphics unless that's what you want.
Sure. They can be pretty fun.
the mystery dungeon games on DS
DoD has bad build synergy and horrible pacing. It was neat when there weren't so many roguelikes out there but now it's completely outclassed by better games. Even DC stone soup is more fun.
DoomRL
DoomRL
It's literally turn-based tactical doom, no grind, no tedium, all action
Vagante. Has cursed equipment, potion quaffing, build variety, but with interesting combat. Also has online co-op.
The next patch is apparently finally going to do something about especially early game tedium, but no more details on that yet.
Fair enough, I'll bookmark it for the weekend. Thanks for the recommendation.
DoD is more of a Roguelikelite than just a like. Very simple, clean, and if you're into Roguelikes already you're probably not gonna like it.
Good stepping stone for getting INTO these kinds of games, or at least getting to enjoy some of the idea behind the game if ASCII or basic tilesets really bug you.
Mainly CDDA but I'm sure I'm going to hate it if I try to go back to it because the dev is an autistic retard.
Brogue or Qud otherwise.
Lack of a sense of progression.
TOME has exploration mode without permadead, and adventure mode where you gain extra life every 10 levels.
Silly user, you ARE progressing, simply in a subtle and far more meaningful way. If you want to grind levels like a robot, then go play Maplestory.
there was a time back in the day that when i was stressed id load up nethack make a chaotic evil orc berserker and kill anything i saw and then eat their corpse
>500% resist all
Fucking tentacle monster bullshit this was so fun to try and fight.
Teleportation rune saved my ass so hard
>Game is titled "One way"
>"fuck you I wanna go the other way"
The best fucking roguelike there is of course
Just destroy the darkness
>Game is titled "One way"
>can go the other way
don't give a fuck, I love this game. the classes are fun like the steam knight
