Re: Roguelike needs a bit of a stricter definition imo.

Like if your game has random loot but a consistent campaign map and no perma-death, you didn't make a Roguelike, you made an adventure game with random loot.

If you made a game that has perma-death but a consistent campaign map and loot, you didn't make a Roguelike, you made an adventure game with perma-death.

See what I'm saying here?


Of course, you get the other extreme:
A review you will see on every roguelike's store page is this:
"This game is not a proper Roguelike."

What they mean is:
"This game is not a Rogue game."
...Which everybody knows already. (Hence: RogueLIKE.)

A Roguelike does take elements from Rogue, but enough for it to be a Roguelike and not a X genre with Y genre elements.

. . .Hmm, guess reading a book entirely about writing paid off.
Inb4 people point out grammar errors anyway.

@Ferel,
Or Roguelike-like?
That logic is kinda flawed though...
Using that logic every game with a health bar is an RPG-like.
