IronArcturus: Is Subterrain a roguelite game?

JudasIscariot: Hmmm I don't recall it being one. Looks more like a top-down DOOM-ish game what with the base on Mars and people being all infected...
Judas, he said roguelite not roguelike. :P
Roguelite usually just refers to permadeath or procedural generation.

Well, they did promise a DRM-Free version after all. I wouldn't have backed them if they didn't.

They've partnered up with Nordic and they have several games here so it's looking good.

Honestly I wish "roguelike" and "roguelite" would just merge into "roguelike." :P

Nowadays, these types of games are not like the original 2D Rogue, but they just have procedural generation and perma-death. Plus when searching for "roguelite" it hardly returns any results. Even the GOG site uses the Genre term Roguelike.

GOG's genre list is pretty limited though. :P

I would vote for this wishlist item ;)

I do this already myself. The last time I even started to think about typing roguelite I said screw it, hit backspace and turned that t back into a k.

Not all of the roguelike games are marked properly for some reason, like Spelunky and Risk of Rain.

As long as it's not called rougelike or rougelite...

Because they aren't roguelikes.
