Looking for a traditional roguelike (turn based, procedurally generated map, permadeath) for the Switch, checked out 100+ suggestions, only 2 matched. I now understand why some people are very fussy about the term.

Many of my favorite games are inspired by Rogue in some way but this time I wanted to check something closer to the source and the language around it is so muddy. It's "doom clone" all over again.

Turns out that most of the popular roguelikes are "roguelites" because they only borrow some of the aspects of what defines a roguelike but the terms are so similar, no wonder people get confused.

Yōdanji (Switch) Simple charming game where you are a yōkai. The hook for me is unlocking the other playable characters. Might look underwhelming but I'm glad I gave this a shot.pic.twitter.com/2qOOEoMH96

Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX Demo (Switch) I had a great time with this one. Lovely presentation and music, I'd like to play more of it. This looks like an easy-going introduction to the mystery dungeon series. I'm just worried that it might be too easy for me.pic.twitter.com/SMdXWf0eZN

Dungeons of Dredmor (PC) Another nice introduction to roguelikes, it's easy to get into and has a goofy sense of humor. Unfortunately it's not well suited for a 4k monitor, everything looks either tiny or blurry.pic.twitter.com/x3jR4PB3l4

Pixel Dungeon (Android) Streamlined gameplay, nice interface, plays quickly. Has multiple characters and achievements to go after. I'm sure I'll play this the next time I have to go on a long trip.pic.twitter.com/88B3suKDnn
