IronArcturus: Is Subterrain a roguelite game?
avatar
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.

Because they aren't roguelikes.
