Rules are simple, keep off-topic garbage to a minimum and no NSFW images.
Roguelite (binding of isaac, risk of rain, etcetera) discussion is no longer welcome here. Head over to >>>/roguelite/ instead.
Before making a stupid thread asking if x qualifies as a roguelike, consult this handy guide provided by anonymous.
Roguelikes must posses all or most of the following traits and usually have their gameplay based solely around them:
-Permadeath or severe penalty for death
-Turn based actions that encourage chess-like strategy (risk vs reward)
-Equal amounts of luck and skill involved, the skill usually lies in how a player deals with random events or items
-Unidentified consumable items and equipment
-Procedurally generated terrain or events
-A race/class system which encourage different play styles
-Grid based diagonal and perpendicular movement
-Ascii or tiled graphics
While a roguelike often builds themself around these features, a roguelite isntead borrows one or more of them (usually permadeath) and integrates it into a different genre.
As an example:
Roguelike - DCSS as it features all of the above features and its gameplay revolves around said features
Roguelite - BoI as it borrows some features from roguelikes but does not have its gameplay centralised around these features

But the thing is, neither of those games have even 1/1000th of the chilling atmosphere, world building, or stylistic minimalist visuals.
I think it's on-par with a fucking Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn painting, in layman's terms.
I only consider one other game in the world an equivalent of a piece of classical art, so that's a really great achievement.

Now don't get me wrong, I realize on a gameplay level, it certainly has its faults and can be dull compared to something like IVAN or DC:SS.But the thing is, neither of those games have even 1/1000th of the chilling atmosphere, world building, or stylistic minimalist visuals.

This game desperately needs a skinwalker mod, where you can play as or try to fight against the skinwalker. Just imagine, you built your humble house and some poor hungry stranger comes by and you invite him in. Give him some food and a nice place to crash for the night so he can get to the next village in the morning.
AND THEN YOU RIP HIM APART EAT HIS INNARDS AND GO HOME TO HIS FAMILY PRETENDING TO BE HIM AND EAT THEM IN THEIR SLEEP TOO
Or the Opposite if you want a 2 spooky 4 u innawoods experience. It can't be that hard to make right?

It will take you many characters before you can survive a single season, and many more before you learn to survive your first full year.
After a long while you will be able to build your first cabin, store enough food to see you through winter and hunt bears with several dogs and skis.
You can also become a cannibal, lure unsuspecting villagers with you on a hunting trip and kill/butcher them for their meat. Your dog will like it but you won't.
Also NEVER EAT MUSHROOMS.
You have been warned.

POWDER: Port of a GBA homebrew. Really fun, with a few classes and a good deity system. Not that tough early on but hard to beat IMO.

imo, a Roguelike is a game that is LIKE ROGUE (thus the name) and has to have ALL of the following features:
>ASCII graphics
>randomly generated levels
>permadeath
>TURN BASED
Honestly, anything that doesn't have AT LEAST these four criteria can't ever be referred to as a roguelike. It'd be like calling Super Mario Sunshine a First Person Shooter. Yeah there are some similarities, but it's just too radically different to categorize it in that subgenre.

How does the idea of a /roguelike/ Steam group chat sound?
It'd be used for off-topic socialization and a platform for you to report shit to me personally or make inquiries about board evolution. I'm also in need of mods because none of my friends have any interest in taking up a position and I don't know any better way to get some than to evaluate users within an environment like that and throw them a mod password someday.
I personally think it has potential to be wonderful, albeit it's maybe a bit too early to do something like this with the low traffic we currently get. I don't really talk to video game enthusiasts much because it always ends up being about dota, smash bros, pokemon etcetera at some point and it'd be nice to hang with like-minded people for once.
I know there's going to be opposers, and I'd like to reassure you by stating that I'll have a zero tolerance policy for if and when the chat ends up degenerating into a tumblr wonderland like I've seen so many steam chats do. The steam group will be deleted the moment it starts giving the entirety of the board a bad rep and we will never speak of it again.

Ultima Ratio Regum
URR it's procedural generation on crack.Everything in the game is generated and has an impact on the world, from civilizations, cultures, religion, history and geography to the very leafs on the trees. The world lore (which is also procedurally generated) actually integrates with the gameplay and the game doesn't hold your hand.
The video explains it better than I could.

So what are some good ascii roguelikes? When ever I try and do research on the internet I always come to huge lists of 100+ games sorted by genre.
When I was a kid I found ADOM on gamehippo.com and downloaded it because the description sounded pretty cool. After my initial WTF i really got into it and sunk hours into it. The main quests were too hard for me so I used to just pay through the infinite dungeon until I died. This year I played Brogue a fair bit because all I had was an old computer. There's only so much Brogue you can play though, it's on the other end of the spectrum to ADOM, much too simple (not to mention the update that stopped leveling for killing monsters, killing speedy play throughs).
So what's a good ascii rogue like that doesn't throw you in a giant world but has a little more depth than in, out, nick the crystals.
A sci-fi theme would be nice but I'm cool with fantasy.
