I've been playing a lot of reverse bullet hell roguelites of late, such as #VampireSurvivors, #20MinutesTillDawn, and #Brotato. Does anyone have recommendations for new ones to try out?
Also, always on the hunt for new games to play on the #SteamDeck!
There have been many definitions of roguelikes and roguelites thrown around over the years, and Berlin Interpretation aside (it's too broad), a guy I was talking to the other day sent me a great, concise definition of both that I really liked (simplified, paraphrased and rewritten a bit):
Roguelike: (looking to "Rogue" for comparison): single character turn and tile based strategy rpg (i.e. NOT games like Rogue Legacy - they're just platformers!)
Roguelite: subgenre of roguelike built around metaprogress.
Rogue is a "Hack-like" (Hack is basically a proto-Nethack) and Nethack is a hack-like -- so Rogue, Nethack and Hack are all roguelikes.
Think of the game as Vampire Survivors, but instead of you having to move and all the skills are passively activated, now you just stay in one place, but you must actively use the skills. That makes sense because the game has tower defense theme, as the name suggested. There is another difference though, it’s how players...
Wciągająca rozgrywka w postaci karcianki, która co akt lekko zmienia mechaniki i stylistkę, intrygująca fabuła oraz ciekawa pikselowa oprawa. Horror, ale nie z gatunku strasznych, a części roglite'owej też nie ma co się obawiać.
This week in the podcast, we lock and load our AK-47s and hand them over to our amphibian friend to talk about the twin stick shooter roguelite AK-xolotl.
If you ever thought your runs of mowing down forest creatures needed more baby burping minigames, then you've come to the right place! 🔫🐸
Over the weekend, #ScreenshotSaturday had pics of a bunch of cool games being worked on, including:
• @Tearcell's dark fantasy horror adventure game.
• @OtterSpaceDev's low-poly fantasy roguelite.
• @aaronteefeylee's exploration-filled Irish adventure.
• our own squad tactics heist RPG (last week for the free demo!)
Support a #GameDev: boosting / following / wishlisting games that seem promising is super helpful!
Hey, I previously shared with you the videos of the game I'm spending my own time working on. Thank you for your feedback and suggestions! Here's the latest video which showcases 3 skills of the game that I'm implementing. Hope you like it, and any questions you have, I'm here to listen and answer....
New trailer for my personal project. I wish I could quit my job instead of spending nights and weekend days working on it. (www.youtube.com)

What was the last Roguelite you played and how would you rate it?
