If you have been checking out my YouTube channel you'll see that I've been doing weekly guides for the PC game Marvel Heroes (http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLF0Z55ldDEtRT4vn1b1eJGBA8LSCDKcIj) but sadly haven't done much else in the way of video gaming. But, that all changes today! For my foray back into video games, I'm starting off with a genre run-down of some of my favorite Rogue-like games. For those unfamiliar, Rogue-like games share similarities with the 1980 classic Rogue, a dungeon crawl adventure game with several key features.
Today, permanent death (with little or no benefits from one "life" transferring to another) in games is often marked as Rogue-like, but there is certainly plenty of wiggle room with the exact definition. Here, I go over 3 of my personal favorites: Pixel Piracy, FTL: Faster Than Light, and Rogue Legacy. Enjoy, be awesome, and comment/discuss if you feel the need!
Hope you enjoyed the video! I will see you next time for my next video game genre run-down: RTS!!! And maybe a board game one in the middle..... who knows???
