Roguelikes: A Lock-in at the Crate and Crowbar
Graham, Jamie and Alex delight in being terrible at traditional roguelikes. Recklessly quaff an unidentified potion, dodge the snapping maw of an ASCII eel, and join us as we plunge into the unknown, die horribly, and rise again.
This is a pod about the more closely related descendents of Rogue! E.g…
Brogue! The Community Edition is found here and is necessary for playing the same seed that Jamie and Alex have been dying in: 27052022. Enjoy!
Shiren the Wanderer
Jupiter Hell
Angband and its offshoots, like Zangband
Nethack
But this is NOT a pod about roguelite or distantly related games, even though they may carry on concepts of repetition or permadeath, e.g. Slay the Spire, Into the Breach, Hoplite or Michael Brough’s games like Cinco Paus. Sorry, those games.
Spelunky was Jamie’s way into the genre.
Kieron Gillen, the inventor of games journalism and an inspiration to us all.
Diablo is just realtime Angband! Get over yourselves, Blizzard!
Dwarf Fortress‘s Adventure Mode is more or less a trad roguelike.
Tales of Maj’Eyal
NEO Scavenger
Stoneshard has very granular wounding, Graham’s favourite thing!
Z.H.P. Unlosing Ranger VS Darkdeath Evilman
Caves of Qud
John Harris, aka RodneyLives on Twitter, wrote a book called @Play and it is good
Roguelike Celebration
Tonehack, a Nethack streamer
BlindIRL, a Dwarf Fortress streamer
