Roguelikes Vs Roguelites: What's The Difference?

Показать описание

Roguelikes are one of the top up and coming genres on the market at the moment, and for some it may feel like a new fad, but they've been around for forty years now. Roguelites on the other hand are the new fad, but apart from switching the K to a T, what's the difference between the two, and why does it matter?

"sci fi horror third person shooter" definitely rings the "dead space series" bell for me.

Well I can only assume that “fantasy sports visual novel” is Pyre

Really cool to see you branch out into different things and your coverage of this topic was in my eyes spot on.

This is such a wonderfully constructed video! You explained everything in great detail, but kept it clear and concise. I really appreciate the effort you put in for this video!

I'm actually really glad for this. I've never been able to figure out the difference between the two, so this has helped a lot. Also, I'm happy to see Wander branch out into different genres(?) and try new things.

I love this form. You've got a great voice for teaching and discussion.

Great video! Found your channel through this recommendation and subbed. I'm a huge fan of roguelikes, metroidvanias, and indie games in general.

Hey Wander!

Another good example from a big developer is Nifleheim? Svatlheim? I forget the name, but the roguelite world in God of War 2018 where you had to run through a procedurally generated labyrinth that had meta progression to make subsequent runs last longer until you could fully run through the labyrinth and reap the greatest rewards from the prize room.

Good luck on growing this channel, you've got my sub!
