| Jul 29, 2019 at 19:50 | comment | added | Dallium | @mechmk1 cases like this is why I think a distinction between roguelike and roguelite is important. To me, Roguelikes have no metaprogression beyond player knowledge and tend to be significantly longer (not unlike Rogue), while roguelites have unlocks and/or a meta currency and individual runs play are an hour at most | |

I prefer my "basebuilding" games to be a steady stream of progress, rather than one hour of me collecting stuff, then dying and repeating. | |
| Jul 23, 2019 at 2:52 | comment | added | Nelson | This style of game is very, very hard. Rogue-likes can feel very depressing if a player have never had a game that does this. Some games will even, literally, cheat FOR you (latest is Mario Galaxy 2 with Rosaline/Bronze Star). Your permanent gain will be understanding the game and knowing what doesn't work. | |
