To reply to the berlin interpretation part of the video, the reason people still care about the roguelike vs rogueLite discussion is because a lot of people still want to play the games inspired by rogue that are turn-based grid-based RPGs and not modern roguelites with all the action and stuff but because these two types of games are so different yet have the same name, finding new old school roguelikes can be a pain in the ass! These two types of games become more and more different as time advances but if theres no way of differentiating them it becomes a whole mess! And thats not even mentionning that while you did your research, a lot of roguelite enthusiasts never look into the origins or even try more old school roguelikes even recent ones like rift wizard, golden krone hotel, jupiter hell and path of achra.

to the argument made at 10:20: As someone studying games engineering at a university, I think the distinction is not unnecessary but confusing for sure. The key difference of metaprogression and softening up progress loss is a important one to make, since most players that enjoy rogue likes don't really enjoy rogue or actual games without metaprogression. That being said, the Berlin Interpretation is not really the reason for the term rogue-lite to exist, as it doesn't define when a game is a rogue-like, just what a game that would be much like rogue would have. They explicitly claim that none of the items in their list confirm or the lack of them discredit the game of being that genre. But rogue and early rogue-likes, in my opinion, are in fact quite different from the modern rogue-lites, that for simplicity we just group as rogue-likes. Just like not every game with souls and recovering them is a souls-like. Sorry for this long text, just wanted to share my 2 cents on this

I think there's a bit of a misunderstanding of the argument for the use of roguelite. It's not just some guys in Berlin came up with a thing (that wasn't even really that interesting or important tbh, it was more just writing down stuff people implicitly already believed), it's why they wanted to do that. The simple fact of the matter is that I wouldn't recommend Nethack, ToME, or ADOM to someone who likes Isaac, but I would recommend Hades, Dead Cells, and Risk of Rain 2. And there's enough games on either side of that divide that it's worth having two different terms. The very fact that the only traditional roguelikes that show up at all in this video are Rogue and the first Mystery Dungeon just to touch on the history of the genre is itself proof of that divide and how they appeal to different audiences.
@DiscoBrain

The reason people prefer to call them "roguelite" is because these games are completely different from traditional roguelikes. And the traditional, grid based turn based roguelikes are still being made, Hades, The binding of isaac and Spelunky are not a betterment of traditional roguelikes, they are a different branch of a genre that is still ongoing. The problem is not only semantics, but there is also the fact that traditional roguelikes are very niche these days, so it would be nice if it could at least keep it's name since they mostly can't even come close to roguelites in sales. Most fans of traditional roguelikes are very much into roguelites, so it's not a feud thing, just a recognition that they are two different genres, because they are. But by now most people just accepted that we'll just have to refer to traditional roguelikes as that instead of changing the newer genre name to roguelites, since most people seem to be unwilling to change a "k" to a "t".

I actually quite like the term rogue-lite because for me it defines whether or not the game has permanent upgrades or not, which is quite important for me personally. I don't enjoy rogue-likes because I never feel like I'm making progress as nothing carries over between runs, but I do enjoy rogue-lites because I feel like even if I die, I'm still making progress.

This is the reason why there needs to be a clear definition between roguelike and roguelite. There are people that don't want a game run to end and have nothing. It's the little baby brother of roguelikes and that's fine, games are chosen for how fun they are, and if you're not having fun, then that's a problem.

Yeah, I didn't agree with that take. The change may seem minor but the implications are pretty huge and the experience changes drastically depending on whether there is a permanent progression system or not. I guess that's because it seems exclusionary or gatekeep-y, but it's a "subgenre", really - just a way to further define a broad definition. Especially since such a systemic change isn't visually apparent, like, if the roguelike in question is an FPS or a hack&slash, it helps players understand what the experience might look like with more clarity if they're new.

Play some classic styled ones like Sil (Based on the Mines of Moria roguelike), Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup (really good fantasy based roguelike with a lot of races), Infra Arcana (Lovecraft fear meter based system), Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead (zombie apocalypse sim roguelike), Caves of Qud (a very good sci-fi roguelike with a deep system). There's learning curves of course but if you simply dedicate like a day to learning the controls of all the key inputs it becomes second nature and you're going to wish a lot of games had this amount of depth because what the key inputs allow to happen. The key inputs allow for having massive amounts of options that you can have access to at a simple press of a key. I actually recommend picking one of these classic styled games and making a video about the depth of the learning curve or how crazy deep the gameplay is with these games. They're amazing games to just relax to because of the turn based nature of it and offers chess like moments of over thinking your next move to survive your runs. Super awesome stuff.

I stand by the separation of Roguelike and Roguelite. There really is a different experience when you have literally 0 meta progression. With Roguelites, you can be bad at the game, but getting one lucky run can give you an unlock the makes the game somewhat or substantially easier in future, thus bypassing a large portion of the learning curve of the game. With true Roguelikes, all progression is purely in your knowledge of the game, gained through experience. Which, to me, is one of the purest forms of progression. That said, I wouldn't want a perfectly fun game to be stifled by adherence to an outdated set of rules for the genre. With the newly released Darkest Dungeon 2, while the combat is super fun (naturally), being able to come back to the Altar and unlock new items for future runs adds another layer of enjoyment that would be absent if all items were unlocked from the beginning. Also, on the subject of Roguelike(likes), one of my favourites is a classic called Dungeons of Dredmor. It's pretty close to a true roguelike (minus the ticking clock of a hunger bar), has a lot of witty charm, and lots of ways to customize your runs with being able to select skills that shape your character for each run. GIve it a shot if you're looking for something new.

I like to tell people who try to diffrentate roguelikes and lites (like you, I was one myself) that, it seriously doesn't matter because it doesn't create a new genre to be called as it was. There is seriously only one thing that is different and the rest is exactly the same. And your argument about knowledge is a bit bs, one of the perfect examples is mentioned by you - dd2 where even if you had all the upgrades you won't be able to beat the game if you're shit at the game, and that's where the knowledge goes. I think the real problem are those rogue-likes that won't allow you (or make it just impossibly hard) to beat the game. Moonlighter is an example of it but because it's an rpg and rogue like which makes it awful at being replayable.

@@duckers3240 I respect your opinion, but maintain mine. There is a very tangible difference between a game like Vampire Survivors, and a game like Tales of Maj'Eyal, and I see nothing wrong with differentiating them. Gunfire Reborn, for example, I would consider a Roguelike unequivocally, whereas I would tentatively categorize games like Nuclear Throne and Spelunky into Roguelike, largely due to a lack of meta progression (Throne has crowns, but alnost all of them are power neutral), which is my personal major dividing point between the two genres (though not the only one.) Also, I stand by the example of DD2, because having only the 4 starting heroes, wanderers only with no unlocks (skills + items + memories), while possible to win on knowledge alone (for denial, at least) is SUBSTABIALLY more difficult than having access to any of the unlockables, objectively.

Roguelite is an important term if you truly love roguelikes. Roguelites is basicly when you can buy sort of upgrades and comeback stronger in the game. Imagine if you had upgrades in Binding of isaac such as "starts with 2 more hearts at the begining" now the game will become easier, not because you got better but at each run you're getting so strong ennemies hit doesn't matter and you went from 3 hitting them to 1 hit anything The difference is simple and has an major impact on the gameplay, because now the balance team didn't make a balanced game but instead throws you an impossible game, gamebreaking upgrades and expect you to farm thoses upgrades to win
@MsHojat

One of the issue with the term Roguelike is that it really doesn't describe the game well at all. Dwarf Fortress is entirely different from Binding of Issac which is entirely different from FTL which is entirely different to Spelunky, which is entirely different to Project Zomboid, yet they all could be called Roguelike (although Project Zomboid doesn't have randomly generated maps yet, but that is coming soon; still could swap it out for Don't Starve) Because of this I'd say that it cannot/should not be considered a genre. Rather it's more of a supplementary descriptor. Aside from that I'd argue Vampire Survivors is not a Roguelike because it doesn't have random levels. In that sense it's no different from an old arcade game like Asteroids. One could also argue that Hades' multiple lives (which I know can be removed _later on)_ makes it not Roguelike either, or else the original Mario and Megaman games should be thrown in there as well. This is why I think the separate term "Roguelite" makes sense, as it could include common/otherwise-defining features that are not in Rogue such as randomized upgrade choices or persistent unlocks.

I don't agree with how people keep calling everything with permadeath and procedurally generated maps a roguelike, and it's specially difficult to find traditional roguelikes at the Steam store after everyone categorized their platformer with permadeath as a roguelike. It has nothing to do with elitism, I would even be at peace if there was a "traditional roguelike" tag to stop confusing both camps, since traditional roguelikes play nothing like modern roguelikes or "roguelites". You can even see how wildly different every modern roguelike is in this very video, where the only shared commonality is permadeath. I don't expect to change anyone' mind about the subject, I just wanted to express how I feel about the subject.

Most modern rogue-like's are just rogue-lites, the main difference being that there's minor continued progression between runs in rogue-lites (whether it be direct upgrades or even a wider pool of characters, skills or drops). Rogue-likes are much more hardcore, but rogue-lites are more rewarding as you feel that there's a sense of progression after each death. This is one of the cases where the less hardcore of the two usually feels a lot better, but elitests may lean towards disliking rogue-lites as the gradual progression typically makes the game easier the more times you progress through the game.
@cyclic_infinity
@cyclic_infinity Жыл бұрын
I don't think "more hardcore" is necessarily correct. I've found Dead Cells to be handily the hardest roguelike I've played, and it has unlocks and upgrades. "Pure" rogue-likes rely entirely on intrinsic skill and knowledge progression to keep you playing, but that can be extremely uneven and lead to accessibility issues. This is exactly what the Dark Souls/Sekiro difficulty and accessibility discussion ran into, as an out-of-genre comparison. Having rewards or upgrades provides additional extrinsic motivation when it feels like your skill progression is at a plateau, and may give you the motivation to get past it by losing another dozen runs. I would also say that increasing playstyle variety through unlocks should not necessarily be categorized the same as pure upgrades, except in those instances where the unlock is an objectively more powerful item or character withheld initially to scale player power on later runs with an extending boss roster (e.g. BoI). Specialization buff/debuff tradeoffs are a balanced extension of the skill and knowledge progression of a "pure" roguelike, and can provide a smoother learning curve and help break players out of a style rut. And also, people just like progression systems. Games are made for people to play, so that's an obvious iterative change to make. It's super basic gaming psychology, there's a reason they are everywhere, even where they especially don't belong.

My first roguelike was Dead Cells, and though many other roguelikes have stolen me away from it over the years, it's the one I always pick back up. I'm kinda surprised you didn't mention it in the video, considering it's 5 years old now. But if you haven't played it, you're in for a treat! What would you say to a side-scrolling action-platformer souls-esque metroidvania roguelike? You pilot "The Beheaded", a blob of sentient green goo that inhabits and reanimates corpses, through a series of procedurally-generated platform levels filled with enemies, using buttery-smooth platforming and combat controls, including the obligatory Dodge Roll™. Each level contains areas that aren't accessible until you find upgrades in later levels, die, and return in a new run, hence the "metroidvania". There are tons of weapons to unlock, and each has totally unique mechanics that feel significantly different from the others, leading to massive variety in how The Beheaded's attacks work each run. From long-ranged bows to fast-mashing swords, slow-swinging axes to parrying shields, deployable traps to stat-boosting spells, following pets to explosive grenades, and everything in between (plus plenty of stuff you'd never even think to expect), you're bound to find something that feels just right. Enemies are all unique as well, forcing you to learn the timing and patterns of every one. Same goes for the bosses. There are (almost) no palette-swaps or functionally identical mobs, and learning how to approach and take down each one is a pleasure. And I can't talk about Dead Cells without mentioning the difficulty. It's a punishing game, right from the start, and it only gets tougher as you progress. Even the lowest-tier enemies can chunk your health down in a heartbeat if you're not careful, and you will die _a lot_ while you slowly figure out how to not get hit. Once you _do_ "git gud" and win a run, you're awarded the next difficulty level, which gives access to more paths through the game, more unlocks to grind, higher-quality drops, and new/tougher enemies in each stage. It also takes away a bunch of the healing fountains you likely relied on to get that win, and by the time you reach the highest difficulty settings, you get no extra healing _at all._ It's definitely a hard game, but _oh man_ is it satisfying when you start to "git gud". No other roguelike I've played emphasizes skill over luck quite as much as Dead Cells does. It's fun to "break the game" with crazy synergies in titles like Isaac and Vampire Survivors, but for me, it's way more rewarding when a lucky or OP build is meaningless without the mechanical skill to use it. So yeah, that's my rant about Dead Cells. If you're a connoisseur of roguelikes, you've gotta add it to your list. P.S. - It also has tons of great DLC content and consistent updates from the developers, so more than any other roguelike I know of, Dead Cells never gets old.

You also collect gems to radiate bosses and gifts in order to not only know more, but to also unlock them in quick play mode. I only scratched the surface in all those mechanics it has and it’s getting close to being out of early access, planned to have an ultimate boss rush mode!

Not only that, Roguelite is actually better for the Roguelike genre, because it's the more "new player" friendly game. Yes it introduces grinding somewhat, but it's actually really good for new players to have something if their run fails. I mean, what's better for the new player mindset, to realise that you wasted 30 mins for a failed run and have nothing, or have a 30 mins failed run but you have 10k gold to use on the gameshop?

@@nestorjrlim3938 Yeah, it's definitely more rewarding for the average player to not feel that their time has been wasted by their death. However, as the original post mentions, roguelites tend to be more grindy as the later content is significantly harder to clear on your first run and difficulty becomes lowered the more you've played through (unlocking stat upgrades or access to new characters/drops). Both styles appeal to different groups of players, but rogue-lites are typically more accessible to a wider pool of players imo.

I am not done with this video yet, but I hope Skooch should talk about the difference between Roguelike and Roguelite. Roguelite is the baby brother of Roguelike, a much easier experience without the "I did all of that for nothing" that new players tend to have in the genre. Edit: I swear to god i stopped like 10 seconds before he talked about Roguelike vs Roguelites. But here's where Skooch might be wrong about, everything should fall under one banner of Roguelike, and not make a subgenre of rogue lite. Perma death is an important and key factor of all rogue like, meaning if you're done, then you're done. Roguelite game on the other hand has a New Game+ mechanic in that you have a permanent resource to upgrade a permanent buff to your new games. By definition permanent death should entail a new game without anything relating you to the last game, or any game you have had before. The presence of any permanent resource, gold, diamond, etc. that is earned in a run, just plainly breaks the Roguelike definition. How would permanent death be a permanent death, when the clean new run, isn't even clean, because of the presence of a permanent resource?

Like is XCOM a rouge-like because is has a perma-death mode? I'm definitely not the best person to answer that question (I don't really play the genre a ton), but I think it's a legitimately important question to answer. Gaming has gotten so rich over the last 10 years with the explosion of the indie-scene, I think it's awesome that we get to nerd out about these things :)

Ancient Dungeon - Fantasy dungeon crawler, fun synergies between the items. Voxel gfx. Early access so more to come. The Light Brigade - WW2 shooter with magic and lots of praying. Mothergunship: Forge - build a gun, any gun, with random parts found. stationary position but you can move around a little. Compound - Boomer shooter in vr, not much randomness besides which of the few guns you get and the layout of floors is different. highly addicting still H3VR (Take n Hold) - High quality gun sim. build a loadout guns based on the time period/character you chose. Defend the designated zone. highly moddable. Also Risk of Rain 2 and Gunfire Reborn have fantastic VR mods I highly recommend those as well.

I really like how the difficulty works in roguelikes, especially the ones with permanent upgrades. The fact that your character will be just slightly more powerful every run means that when you do end up beating the final boss you probably had the most challenging yet perfectly balanced experience for your specific skill level at the time. And you don't even need a difficulty option for that, it's just built into the game. I think the hard part about designing a roguelike (difficulty wise) is like, how do you make the game continue to be challenging once you've beaten it? Because once you've beaten a roguelike once, the permanent progression system will have the opposite effect as before. The game gets easier and easier every run while you get better and better at it, meaning you will stray further and further away from that optimal difficulty level you just experienced. The best roguelikes have creative ways of solving this problem I think.

And because you can infinitely stack most items some of those can get insane.

But with rogue likes it doesn’t matter who is able to play because you just jump in with whoever is on and you.

All I’m saying, we need a game that combines Enter the Gungeon & Dark Souls. Also your rant about ‘rogue lites’ reminds me how much I hate video game genres. Rather than describing the type of game the genre’s about (i.e. platformer, first-person shooter), people just say “yeah this game’s like this other game” long enough that these vague genres form that don’t really even describe the games they’re about anymore. Most “soulslikes” are pretty damn dissimilar to Dark a souls (hell, even Bloodborne and Sekiro, made by the same company, are vastly different), most “roguelikes” are nothing like the original Rogue, and neither the original Metroid nor the original Castlevania are a ‘metroidvania’ by the genre’s definition. These titles only ever necessitate more communication, too: most of the time, you’re just going to have to explain what the weird-sounding term you just spouted out actually means to whoever you’re talking about. Why not just… describe the game at that point? A description by comparison only works if a) the two things you’re comparing are actually alike, and b) the target you’re talking to has experienced at least one of the two things you’re comparing, and *neither of these are the case* with these ‘comparison-genres.’

I think a big part of the appeal of roguelikes for me is that they feel like low stakes arcade games. a quick generalized gaming experience that has nuance and secrets for the experienced player but is a overall fun and engaging challenge for the new player. There isnt too much of an investment because the average run for these kinds of games are like an hour (game depending obviously) and a rewarding gaming experience for those with the skill to get to the end whatever that may look like. I also think roguelikes have the advantage of generating relatable scenarios because everyone who plays the game has a general idea of how the things work. so you can describe a scenario that happened with your run and they can relate to how that would be despite never having directly experienced that in game. Its a great sense of community.

I mean I am favorable and follow the Berlin definition not because of elitism but because it's a clear way to differentiate between two different game experiences. One is more gentle while maintaing the allurring aspects you decribe while the other is just like Spelunky, you have no other way but to expierence the absolute loss of everything you gained in-game. It's a good practical distinction imo, despite the phenomenon of using roguelike for everything which is totally normal. Apart from that I can't agree more with all you say in the video. The roguelike elements are a way more ludic experience for me than most games. Triple A games that I thoroughly enjoyed were usually because the story I felt was alluring, it was the glue that connected everything else in a coherent and fun experience. Smaller games production-wise remind me of what a "game" usually means when we are children, those game IRL you play with others. Also I think the lite experience, or what you call the experience BoI made popular, goes better with the current more grindy style of games. It makes a better engagement imo than the examples you gave of many gacha games or games like MMO where you have to dedicate your life to it like it's work if you dont want to miss half of it.

Archer, Mage and like a soldier close range type of guy. It's not like a choice that you get in front of you, it's what armor you make, what tools you use, which special ability you choose to have that determine what you are. There are hella many unlockables and I'd really greatful if you could check this game out. You won't regret it I swear. Btw yes this game is made by the same developers who made Kindergarten 1 and 2
