Just found this, it looks really interesting but I haven't tried it yet, figured I'd show this.

"Whisker Squadron" why not "Forest Critter Battalion" or "Petting Zoo Brigade"

What you like sucks.

I mean Star Fox already proved you dont need to be a rogue like to have insane replayability. But if youre into that more power to you

Star Fox is a game that might actually work as a rougelike because it's just a rather simple arcade style campaign anyway. Rather than play Star Fox 64 three times to see the different paths, you can just always have a different experience.

No. I prefer well crafted levels.

Means if you die in the game, you die in real life

The Freespace 2 source has been such a wonderful gift to the space sim community.

That's pretty cool, never heard of Freespace 2. Guessing it's a source engine to make space games with?

Randomized level design, when you die it resets you back to the beginning. Roguelite is similar but you keep your upgrades when you die so you have a sense of progression, and there's usually an end goal in those kinds of games.

This game works similarly to Vampire Survivors, hence the name.

naw it's an old space shooter released in 1999 and made by Volition, the Saints Row people. The game itself is fantastic, one of my fav of all time. The devs released parts of the source code so people have been modding it and converting it for two decades now

got it. so Hades basically is the only game that comes to mind for me but that makes sense

i just see "rogue" and immediately think it's some stealth game but then "like" and think it's like, stealth with a twist or some shit

Rouge is the name of the game that started the genre, so like Metroidvania or Soulsborneikroringlike.

There's also the issue of games being described as roguelikes in their storefront descriptions, but are not rogue in any way, adding to the confusion.

Like how Moonlighter was described as a roguelike/lite. It's a really fun game, but it is not a rogue.

Basically none of the things called roguelike have anything to do with it beyond randomization. Hence why they are Tetrislikes.

This actually looks pretty cool. It's in early access right now though, so I'll keep an eye on it until it gets further along. Early Access games tend to change a lot before the final release
