November 24, 2023 - Day 327 - NewPlay Review
Total NewPlays: 347
Game: Danger Scavenger
Platform: Steam
Release Date: Mar 26, 2021
Installation Date: Oct 21, 2023

Danger Scavenger is a cyberpunk-themed isometric twin-stick roguelite crawler set on top of a series of skyscrapers.
Pick from one of four archetypes, pick a start weapon, make your way across the rooftops, shooting objects for parts, killing robots, collecting cases, and weapons, and trying not to fall off the side of the skyscraper.
It's relatively easy to write about games I don't like, or games I do like, but after playing it last night, I've struggled all day to write anything about this game.

Working with games is hard due to A LOT of reasons. A minor but annoying one, is "player illiteracy". Every time I work or discuss a #roguelike or #roguelite title, there's an avalanche of complaints about things that are basically genre staples.
"It's too repetitive", "The game already starts too hard", "I've lost all my itens!", "Why are power ups so hard to get"... Like, this is LITERALLY what a roguelike/roguelite is. Don't buy a book by its cover.
FYI: Rack and Slay demo is coming tomorrow! 👀

We come to it at last: the great battle of our time. What is a Roguelike?
A contentious debate for any fandom, we take our longest episode yet to look at every aspect of what makes games roguey or not, rogue-like versus -lite, and everything in between.
Is Minecraft a rogue-style game? Is Solitaire? Come for the Berlin Interpretation, stay for the Elf Metal!
Rogue-style games tend to come in two major flavors: rogue-likes, and rogue-lites. But what's the difference?
@gmtk has a great video about how meta-progression and permeant unlocks factor into the equation!
Roguelike evolution has been on a blistering pace since @mossmouth released the revolutionary Spelunky in 2008.
This video by DesignDoc is a great dive into the components that make up rogue-style games, and how fusions of genres can bring new, unique experiences to a long-lived genre: https://youtu.be/uM588ci-sMQ
Most people these days think of roguelike games in terms Vampire Survivors, Binding of Isaac, or Risk of Rain 2. Others will contend with traditional roguelikes such as NetHack or Angband using the dreaded "Berlin Interpretation" from 15 years ago.
@slashie has an amazing blog post on how roguelikes were defined going back to the UseNet days. Worth a read!

For our 1 year anniversary special, our next podcast episode is tackling the question: "What Is A Roguelike?" I think we will have some ideas and debates planned to talk about, but we want to hear from you as well!
What do you think a rogue-type (like/lite) game is, and how do you think the genre is evolving?

Nothing fancy:
"jumpy", clear and defined rhythms and offbeats (I'd describe it as "electronic tribal dance music"), very easy to move to and that's what I'm looking for as it's perfect to fuel my "Dead Hook" session and keep up the #flow.
"Dead Hook" is a #roguelite #vr #fps best described as an union between Doom Eternal, Spider Man and Max Payne. It's quite physically demanding on room-scale so it'll be nice to have something to move along to.

September 14, 2023 - Day 257 - RePlay Review
Game: Aces & Adventures
Platform: Steam
Release Date: Feb 24, 2023
Library Date: Sep 13, 2023
Playtime: 52m (1h16m total)
Aces & Adventures is a fantasy RPG deckbuilding roguelite using poker mechanics.
Yeah, when I woke up this morning, I decided to give it another shot over coffee to see just how much of my ability to understand the game had been clouded by exhaustion.
Turns out, pretty much total.
When I played it this morning, it all made a hell of a lot more sense, both the way that the various kinds of cards work, and also the synergy between them.
In addition, I could actually remember a bunch of poker hands that evaded me last night.
Essentially, each round presents you with one or more cards with a bunch of hitpoints, health points, armor, etc etc. The cards also might have certain abilities.
You get one attack per round, but triggering abilities doesn't count as an attack, so if you can clear the board before your attack, you do that.
This morning's run had a card with first strike, and another set of three cards, that each time you kill one, the rest get stronger, so it helps if you have an ability card that synergises with your draw that enables you to hit all enemies for three damage at once.
Which I did, and required two spades to trigger.
During the attack round is when the poker hands come into play (pun intended); you play your hand and then the AI attempts to defend.
If you play a single Ace, for example, the best the AI can do is block that with an Ace. Play a King, and the AI can block it with a King, or trump it with an Ace, which means you take damage.
But a poker hand? Double or triple your damage, particularly if you've collected some upgrade cards that stay with you until the end of the round. Maybe you pick up a card that's +1 damage per spade played.
It's a nice damage addition when you drop a single spade, but when you drop a straight?
That won me the round against a boss mob.
So with some sleep under my belt, it's fair to bump Aces & Adventures up to:
4: Good

Aces & Adventures is a fantasy RPG deckbuilding roguelite using poker mechanics.
It's the fourth game in this month's Humble Bundle, and the first where, in spite of a tutorial, I had no idea what was happening half the time.
I don't know. I'm still not sure exactly what happened.
You play as one of several classes, each of which (other than the first) you unlock by playing. I completed playing "Spring" as a dwarf warrior and unlocked the rogue class.
It's turn-based combat, in which you have three decks in play simultaneously. The attack deck which is a standard 52 card deck, a second deck of ability cards, and a third deck of upgrade cards.
At least I think that's what was happening. Admittedly, I'm very tired right now, which might have stunted my understanding of how to play, but I muddled my way through to completing the first... section? Quest?
In any case, I think I need to give Aces & Adventures a pass this time, and blame it on myself, so for now it's:
3: OK

There have been many definitions of roguelikes and roguelites thrown around over the years, and Berlin Interpretation aside (it's too broad), a guy I was talking to the other day sent me a great, concise definition of both that I really liked (simplified, paraphrased and rewritten a bit):
Roguelike: (looking to "Rogue" for comparison): single character turn and tile based strategy rpg (i.e. NOT games like Rogue Legacy - they're just platformers!)
Roguelite: subgenre of roguelike built around metaprogress.
Rogue is a "Hack-like" (Hack is basically a proto-Nethack) and Nethack is a hack-like -- so Rogue, Nethack and Hack are all roguelikes.

Game: Banners of Ruin
Platform: Steam
Release Date: Jul 30, 2021
Library Date: Aug 9, 2023
Unplayed: 16d
Playtime: 19m
Banners of Ruin is a roguelite deckbuilder in which a mouse and a bear attempt to take back their city from the corrupt folks who stole it.
With two and a quarter hours sleep last night, I figured I'd get in early for a NewPlay and review, because I'm not even sure I'm going to make it through the morning.
Banners of Ruin came in the same bundle as Shred 2, and where Shred 2 felt like a "oh well, nothing lost", Banners of Ruin is a bit of a surprise.
Although it's quite different, it reminds me mostly of Slay the Spire, and while initially put off by the idea of trying to play a deckbuilder and remain conscious, it's actually fun.
The tutorial was well done, but a little bit too loquacious, and determined to hold my hand even after I'd grasped the basic mechanics, but once through the tutorial, I had a fun, if short run.
On the downside, it insisted on starting on a secondary monitor, and we had a fundamental disagreement about which monitor is which. It also supports a quite limited number of resolutions for a game that was released mid-2021, only running up to 1920x1080, but Fullscreen is an option, and the graphics don't suffer at all.
All in all, Banners of Ruin seems to be a fun way to kill 15 minutes here and there, and is:

Game: Going Under
Platform: Steam
Release Date: Sep 24, 2020
Library Date: Dec 25, 2022
Unplayed: 201d (6m19d)
Playtime: 82m
Going Under is a roguelite dungeon crawler set in a late-stage capitalist hellscape and I am absolutely here for it.
I got almost 4 hours sleep on Thursday night, and woke up feeling pretty ragged.
When I got home from work I was down to one cylinder, and went grocery shopping, then came home ready to crash.
I figured I could knock 15 minutes of a game out and then write the review today.
Almost an hour and a half later I dragged myself to bed.
Dungeon crawlers are traditionally darkly-lit demon-infested horror-crawls, not brightly-lit, cartoonish, horror-crawls. The horror in Going Under comes from the biting satire of late-stage tech-startup capitalism in a VC-funded world, with nods to anyone who's worked in a knowledge worker / IT-related role.
The game starts with your first day as an -unpaid- intern (because of course it does), watching an introductory video about your new workplace, a recently acquired subsidiary ("Fizzer") of a multi-national conglomerate ("Cubicle").
You've been assigned to Fizzer by the company's AI (of course), and just as the video gets to the explanation of why no Cubicle employee should never enter the dungeons underneath the Fizzer office, your Project Manager boss assigns you to enter the dungeons underneath the Fizzer office to kill the "monsters" that are invading.
The dungeons themselves, and the monsters, are previously acquired start-ups, with names like "Joblin" (a gig worker app), and "Winkydink" (a dating app).
Between the roguelite elements and the quests to build up rep with your "mentors", Going Under really nails that "just one more run" feel.
Going Under is:

Yay, had a successful run in #SlayTheSpire after a lot of failures. Getting the new character in The Watcher (who I have no idea how to play after doing a taster run) is a neat reward. Fairly sure I've beaten the spire before but I might have misremembered?
Stress testing RDZ map generation by putting it into an endless loop and seeing if it hangs, crashes or fails any internal asserts...
I've been playing a lot of reverse bullet hell roguelites of late, such as #VampireSurvivors, #20MinutesTillDawn, and #Brotato. Does anyone have recommendations for new ones to try out?
Also, always on the hunt for new games to play on the #SteamDeck!
These gorram spike traps were easy enough to implement but took FOREVER to get the position generation working acceptably 🙄
I hope you come to hate them 🤣

My son is over and we're playing a bunch of games. My current favorite (and also one of his) is the INCREDIBLE roguelike Death Road to Canada. And like it sounds, you're fighting pixelated digital zombies in the apocalypse, trying to make your way to the safety of Canada. This game is SO fun and replayable (but beatable, we've beaten it three times since he's been here) and I suspect it would make an EXCELLENT party game. Up to four players can jump in and out. Every game is random and you don't win every time, but it's so wild and really hilarious too. I won this game in a giveaway and was pretty psyched but had no idea it was such a great game. Just a blast. You can even make your own characters too (and you'll meet some familiar ones), as you grab buffs, upgrades, and all KINDS of weapons. There's some really cool decision making involved along the way, along with skill you learn and luck you hope to have. Onward to Canada!

May 16, 2023 - Day 136 - NewPlay Review
Total NewPlays: 152
Game: Bad North: Jotunn Edition
Platform: Steam
Release Date: Nov 17, 2018
Library Date: Dec 25, 2022
Unplayed: 145d (4m24d)
Playtime: 43m
Steam went down while I was writing this, which was a little disconcerting.
Bad North: Jotunn Edition is the "definitive edition" of Bad North, which I'd never played. It's a real-time cozy tactics strategy roguelite.
I threw "cozy" in there, because of all the games this reminds me, it's actually Townscaper that it comes closest to in terms of atmosphere.
It's somewhat minimalistic in design, but that gives it a unique character. You defend a series of islands against Viking invaders, so it's like the anti-Assassins Creed Valhalla.
I wish I had more to say about it, but I've come down with some kind of not-COVID (according to two tests so far), and couldn't stay awake last night to post the update.
I then went to bed and couldn't sleep, so it's a lose/lose.
I really must look up the difference between roguelike and roguelite, because all of these subcategories are doing my head in.
Bad North: Jotunn Edition is:
4: Good

Also if anyone has advice on places to meet up with programmers for a #GameJam other than Develteam it would be really appreciated.
I have been developing an idea for years that is a #roguelite style of #Gameplay that is influenced by an early game freak game on the SNES.
I have always wanted to make a #IndieGame I can do the music and art and have made some pen and paper games so have a foundational idea of how game design works. Just never been able to pick up programming.

This is it! Moment of truth. My #Roguelite #Shmup, #Gunlocked has exited Early Access!
It has been an incredible experience to develop this game with everyone in the community that gave such great feedback. It has been life changing, in a very tangible way (I'll talk more about that some day).
Check out the linked trailer below, and please boost and share and toot until your heart's content!
#Introduction
I'm Jamie, I do #gameDev/#indieGames and #pixelArt.
I made a #bulletHell #detective #visualNovel game called Star Apprentice: Magical Murder Mystery and a #roguelite #platformer called Vain Ascendance, both on steam.
I like creating an over-the-top #anime vibe in my games.
Also a fan of #GodotEngine.
Some of my favourite games include #AceAttorney #Persona #Touhou
Uhh... that's all I can think of to cram in here.
Looking forward to trying out mastodon!
Hey there! I'm doing my introduction again because I forgot hashtags ^^'
I'm Théotime, I'm a French computer science student from Auvergne.
I mostly play roguelikes, metroidvanias (Hollow Knight my beloved) and monster tamers (i.e. "Pokémon-likes", such as Nexomon, Coromon, Monster Sanctuary,...). These days, I play a lot of Breath of the Wild, Crypt of the Necrodancer, Dead Cells, and 30XX.
I watch pretty diverse series, my favourite shows at the moment are Doctor Who, The Owl House, Inside Job, The Good Place, Rick and Morty,... Feel free to recommend me shows, I don't really have anything to watch these days.

I already sunk a bunch of time into the 2022 game of the year on my Steam Deck. Am I eager to start all over on #Xbox?
Yes. Yes I am!
(#VampireSurvivors is responsible for pulling me into all kinds of similar #roguelite games. Most of which were recommended by the always awesome @gamingonlinux).
But seriously, play this game.
