Hello friends! Is there a lemmy community for roguelikes? I am, in this case, looking for a place focused on more traditional roguelikes (DCSS, CCDDA, BROGUE, etc)

If there isn’t one, no worries, send me you’re favorite unknown traditional roguelikes. I’ll tell you mine. It’s called “Empires of Eradia” it’s a more open combat focused RL with a unique twist on permadeath. It’s got great crafting and a strong focus on risk reward.

    Rogue Fable is excellent! Definitely a good intro to the Genre for more casual play.

    Speaking of, if you like more casual RLs, check out The Ground Gives Way or Path of Achra.

    TGGW is a coffee break RL. Meant to be played in small 15-20 min bites. Simple, yet effective.

    PoA is a RL almost entirely built on character theory crafting. The actual RL play can be done with 1-2 buttons most of the time. The character and build creation is… a lot lol. But if you’re into theory crafting and build variety its a great time.

      Thanks, I’ve downloaded TGGW (https://www.thegroundgivesway.com/download/ for those curious) and will try it soon.

      It would be nice to have another background game. Currently, it’s basically Rogue Fable III or Slay the Spire and very rarely something else.

      Added PoA to my wishlist for later.

        StS is glorious. It’s one of the few games I’ve 100% on Steam. Definitely on my top 10 list.

          Same. I usually don’t play to win (casual player, as I said), but I did put in the effort to get all achievements and beat the heart at ascension 20 at some point.

          The mods in particular give it staying power (and usually make it a bit easier/more absurd for casual play).
