Why Roguelike vs Roguelite Shouldn't Exist!! A New Name for the Genre!

In this video, I tackle one of the silliest debates in gaming: the difference between Roguelike and Roguelite games. I break down what makes each of these categories tick, from their origins in the classic 1980 game Rogue, to modern titles like Hades 2, Returnal, and Dead Cells. But here's the kicker: I believe it's time we retired these outdated labels and gave the genre a more accurate name t...

    The difference is that people that look for rogue likes on steam expect turn based perma death grid games, whereas rogue lites look for any combination of genres with random generation and perma death. Neither fan is satisfied when they get a ton of each others games when browsing steam, which is the reason for most of the discourse around the topic. For historical reasons rogue likes should not change, since they provide a very specific experience

    • @AutarchTFT
      @AutarchTFT 26 днів тому

      The whole turn based thing has always been silly to me, since Rogue was only turn based b/c of programming limitations at the time. The essence of Rogue, which was not the first game of its type, was a dungeon crawler with a randomly generated map, random upgrades (items in the case of rogue) and permadeath, so each try is unique. Turn based/grid.. that is just a quirk of how you had to program in 1980.

      @AutarchTFT 26 днів тому

      I hear what you are saying and retro elements have appeal, but there is strong disagreement among gamers about whether "turn based" and "grids" are required for roguelike.. some say 100% yes and some say 100% no. Given the simple fact that there was no other way to do it at the time.. I query what the developers WOULD have done if they had the tools. In the interviews I read they talked most about the random map and perma death. (quote from an interview with the developer, "We talked it over and decided it was possible, but also decided that we would have to make one where "the computer creates the dungeon", so we could be challenged by our own creation, and so we could come back and play it over and over, getting a new adventure every time we played." They also talk about how limited they were by technology. (Another quote, "It is funny how, in retrospect, it feels like we were struggling with technical limitations.") So what really makes Rogue (which again, was NOT the first game of its type) the thing? It's the random map generation and replay-ability, as far as I can tell, the turn based/grid part is just part of the technical limitations they were dealing with.

  • @torgo_

    The name of the genre doesn't matter, it's just a label like all language, intended for utility, for communication. Like how role-playing games rarely involve roles. Or like how dungeon crawlers rarely have dungeons or crawling. But the label is still useful for the purpose of communicating a broad category of gameplay elements. For roguelikes the core feature is that the game is short, brief rounds, with high replayability usually due to RNG. Like most casino card games. The term roguelike is simple and functional and that's what matters. "Roguelite" is a bit silly, it's a small subgenre that doesn't really need to be separated, it's basically just a roguelike with a few modern gameplay conventions.

    • @AutarchTFT
      @AutarchTFT 26 днів тому

      R.U.B could be equally as functional... language is what we decide it to be. This all started b/c I, at first, completely misunderstood what "roguelike" meant and found it funny that despite me having played video games my whole life, I had no clue about this. Second, this was the only major genre I could find in the epic store that was named after a game, instead of some type of description of how the game plays. The fact that my kid's head nearly exploded when I suggested R.U.B and instead of going on a run, rubbing one out.. well, I couldn't pass on that.

      Rogue-Lites don't always have perma death, Hades 2 certainly doesn't and is considered Rogue-Lite. And I commented this on another comment, but the "turn based" concept wasn't a concept, it was how the programming worked in 1980.

    the difference between rougelike and rougelite is not what you said. Rougelite is basically a game that seems to be a rougelike, but it breaks at least one of those fundamental rules of roguelikes. For example, there is a game called Secrets of Grindea, that, outside of the "main" story mode, has an arcade mode. The arcade mode feels like a rougelike version of the game, even though you don't have random abilities. You choose your skills personally. But it still is totally random and feels like a rougelike, so we, people of the community call it a rougelite.

      The funny thing I found while researching this.. was so many people disagreed about the differences and what made one and the other. The one thing I found nearly universal agreement on was once you dealt with meta changes, it became "lite" over "like".. so many other things wound up in arguments. The most argued one was "turn based" (and I discussed that in another comment). Ultimately, I chose the meta changes as the big distinguisher b/c that is where I found the most agreement.

      I was kinda waiting for this comment, b/c I found so much dissent about this particular "feature" when I was researching this. Many claimed to be a rouglike it HAD TO be turn based and many claimed that was not a requirement. Here's my .02, which is only worth .01 due to the fact that I didn't know Roguelike referred to a game until a couple years ago. The original Rogue was written in C. Turn based wasn't a feature.. it was the only way it could be done. There was no viable way in C to write it so it could be dynamic. So, again.. my .02... the original developers didn't plan to make a turn based game, they just planned to make a game and due to the tools available to them, it was turn based by definition. In my mind, saying a Roguelike has to be turned based is like saying a phone has to have a rotary dial to be a phone. Or go back earlier and say it has to connect directly to an operator to be a phone. They worked with the technology available to them and then improved upon it as they went, but a phone was still a phone.

Once I thought of battler... and my kid yelled "YOU CAN'T CALL THEM RUB GAMES", I stopped even trying to think of anything else, b/c I was sold. I like Random Upgrade Adventure, except that I don't think some would classify as "adventures"... Balatro comes to mind b/c it isn't as much of an adventure as a card game.. but you are "battling" in some sense. The permadeath is only really a concept in the Roguelikes.. in Roguelites, death is kinda part of the adventure.. In Valhalla and Hades, Hades 2 and many more, losing is written into the story and while you lose the upgrades from the previous try, you gain something as well.

    One new term is not enough. For example, two "Roguelikes." - Caves of Qud, and Brotato. I don't think that those can be argued in good faith to be the same genre, unless you're arguing that genre is meaningless. Which, admittedly, video games are becoming quite a bit like music in that genre is becoming more and more meaningless. But, while we do have some meaning left in video game genres, we can't just recreate the primary problem of the term with a single, new, equally insufficient term. The more you break down either term, into what actually is what, the more clear it becomes that just one will never be enough. Well, unless you're cool with having a genre that is effectively defined the same way the term "video game" is. What counts as an upgrade? In FTL, you buy upgrades deliberately and knowingly. But wait, do we count buying a new weapon in a shop as an "upgrade?" It's not permanent, and not always an upgrade. Are equippable items upgrades? Are temporary "blessings" upgrades? Can something be called "random upgrade" if it contains large parts of purely non-random upgrades? What proportion needs to be random? In Tiny Rogues, frequently you're given a selection of items that's pulled from a specifically curated list of possibilities. Sometimes, the drops are "random" as one thinks of the word, but other times, it's a random "Legendary Melee Weapon" of which there are only a small handful in the game. Other times, it's "Dragonslayer Equipment," or etc. Beyond the items, the statistical upgrades are random, most of the time. You can also buy them in shops, and not infrequently. In FTL, even if you count items as upgrades, most of what you're buying, excluding fuel and missiles, is upgrades to your ship. You never roll the dice on those. You buy one level of engine upgrade, you get one level of engine upgrade. The price is always the same, the button is always in the same spot and everything, and you can do it at any point during the game except in the middle of a battle. Most of the game's upgrades are not random. So is it, too, a random-upgrade battler, lumped in as a refugee from the now-dead term Roguelike? I'd say no, and it's not unique in that way. I don't have a solution that anyone likes but me, and it boils down to "eradicate genres, use a 'tagging system' instead. But if we're gonna stick with genres, we need at least two new ones to replace "Roguelike/Roguelite," and more than likely, closer to four new genres.

    • @AutarchTFT
      @AutarchTFT 26 днів тому

      I agree with a ton of what you wrote here, especially that in some ways I am arguing that genres have become a little meaningless, at least at the highest level. Consider God of War and Final Fantasy.. both considered RPGs, but played very VERY differently. (They got closer lately with XVI having a combat system closer to real time.. but I digress). When you browse a shop (I used Epic Games as my general guide) for a new game and pick a category, there is HUGE diversity of games under each category.. just to start they have ACTION, then ACTION-ADVENTURE, then ADVENTURE, and so on... But only one category (Rogue-Lite Games) referred back to a specific game, instead of a general description of how the game functions. That was my impetus for the video. It seemed very weird to me that of all the "firsts" in gaming, gamers had somehow chosen this particular (commercial flop) game to live on in perpetuity by naming an entire genre after it. The first RPG ever made was Dungeons & Dragons, and the first RPG video game made was called DND, based on, of course, Dungeons & Dragons... Dungeons & Dragons is still relevant today, they still make movies, TV shows, games from that original... but do we call RPG's DND? No. We extracted the concept behind DND and then applied it to a genre and within that genre, there are hundreds (if not thousands) of sub variants, each adding their own twist or element on top of what was the original concept. So.. yeah, obviously my end result was meant to be comical, but the overarching point is that we have elevated this one game, which I found out after I posted the video wasn't even the first in this style, to define a genre that now has almost nothing in common with its inspiration. As for upgrades, I'm using the term extremely liberally... ANY improvement is an upgrade. I chose random, b/c I can only go by my personal experience, which only spans about 30 games in this genre now.. but in all the ones I've played personally, the "upgrades" were random in that you couldn't be sure what you would get next. You might get a shop that will allow you to do SOMETHING and it might be limited options. Maybe only 12 upgrades available, but it will randomly choose 3 (Kinda like augments in TFT) to present to you and then you choose from them. In Balatro there is a shop, but what Jokers appear in the shop is unknown, in Peglin you can go to a chest, but what artifact you get is unknown, what orbs you will be offered at the end of a fight is unknown.. I could go through so many, but every one I have personally played had that. I haven't played FTL, but you said there is nothing random in the upgrades, so I don't know. In the original Rogue, you never knew what treasures you would find, there were certain fixed things (You gain XP and level up gaining HP and other stats, etc.), BUT the random part came from the items that you would ultimately need to win. Does FTL have none of this? If not, then some might argue that it fails the basic test for Roguelike, but when I googled it, it came up as a roguelike. I appreciate the thought out response and agree that genres have very little meaning these days.. if someone says to me "You gotta try this new RPG" that tells me very little about the game. I get a little more information if someone says "platformer", but still.. so much variance within that group, so ultimately, "tagging" is a better option.

      Maybe I'll make a whole video on it at some point.. but long story as short as possible. I bought a game that was completely broken. When I tried to refund it, they refused... I told them I was going to have to charge it back and they said they would cancel all my games and wipe out all my progress, when I charged back every purchase I had made in the last 60 days (that was the legal limit on fraud claims on credit cards) they tried threatening me more and I sent them a link to my law license and they just ended up blocking access to my account. Some odd charges appeared on some cards (can't PROVE it was them), so I disputed those charges, changed the card numbers and blocked access to all their servers at the router level so any hidden remnants of their software that I missed could no longer communicate with their servers.

      Why are we dragging in a 1980 dungeon crawler to name it? Why not the even earlier game that was the same type called Beneath Apple Manor? (Which I only learned about after posting this for some reason). Think of all the other major genres.. Platformers.. we don't call them DonkeyKongs... RPGs we don't called DNDs.. MMOs aren't called NeverwintersNights.. but for some reason.. we have named an entire genre after a game that was a commercial flop? As I mentioned in the video, when my kid used to talk about a new "Roguelike" game he wanted, I thought it was a game that involved being a thief.. having to steal something from someone and get it back to homebase or something like that. When I found out the real reason for the name... I don't get it.

      @@AutarchTFT Thats actually a really good point , I didn't even consider earlier games or the fact that yeah, we don't refer to platformers as donkey kongs etc. I def think that this could just be my own opinion/theory behind the naming but take a game like Hollow Knight for example. Well it is quite literally a platformer, more often than not its titled as a 'Metroidvania', as it draws inspiration in its game design from both Super Metroid and Castlevania. DK was a platformer and probs the first ever one with the arcade version, but if you look at platformers following DK, they try to be their own thing and create their own identity within the genre. Whereas rougelikes wanna be like rouge and often stay pre true to that core identity. Honestly just think its a way to pay homage to the games that the creators drew their inspiration from. If the people that first coined the term found Beneath Apple Manor instead of Rouge we could very well be playing Applelikes as we speak lol. Although I could be talking complete rubbish. As of writing I realize I do contradict myself alot but hope this gives some kinda thoughts.

      When I started working on this video concept (many months ago), my kid brought up Metroidvania, when I said, "We don't name any other genres after games." As I researched more, I found Rogue was the only one with a full category on epic games (If you browse through Genres you won't find Metroidvania or Soulslike, but you will find Rouge-Lite. The Metroidvania is SO specific, but they exist entirely in Platformers in every site I could find, whereas Rouge-Like/Lite ran the gambit. At first they were all dungeon crawlers (Hack, Moria.. heck even the first Diablo was intended to be Rougelike), but as time has moved on, the core concept (Random Map, Random Upgrades, etc.) has been applied to card games (Balatro), Puzzles (Peglin), Shooters (Returnal), FPS (Rogue Shooter), RPGS... Heck, Tocker's Trials COULD have been a rougelike TFT if they had completely randomized the enemies, but since it wasn't random, it wasn't "roguelike." I get what your saying and I love paying homage to the creators of yore and I fully admit, I was so late to this... It LITERALLY wasn't until Valhalla came out that I actually learned "roguelike/lite" was a genre that didn't involved thieves and was a style... and then I researched why and went.. I gotta make a video about this someday. Especially once we came up with Random Upgrade Battler. Now, whenever my kid and I go to play Balatro or Peglin (that's been the recent one), I always ask.. "Ready to rub one out" and he just rolls his eyes.

      My bigger issue is that.. why ROGUE? Why does this particular game from 1980 get to be a game that defines an entire Genre? Why are ALL RPGs not called DNDlike and DNDLite? since Dungeons & Dragons was the first RPG anything and the first RPG video game was called DND, based, of course, Dungeons & Dragons. And Dungeons & Dragons remains relevant until today.. still with movies, games, etc? As someone else pointed out they personally still call FPS' Doom Clones (and I had it in the video at first, but then discovered Doom was not the first FPS, so I pulled that part)... but my kid never heard of Doom, despite the fact that he plays videos games non stops and wants to be a developer (currently working on his first release)... he had no clue the first major FPS was called "Doom." And then keep in mind that within genres we have so many sub genres, so the larger category is R.U.B, but then some will be progressive RUBs which have an overarching story and meta changes, others will be more hardcore RUBs sticking to the pure nature of perma-death and having to start over. But, you are all still Rubbing One Out and you shouldn't be ashamed.. it's natural and everyone does it ;)

Same with soulslike, which really just ends up meaning Unforgiving and difficult, but you don't find them as categories in game shops.. whereas I will find Rouge-Lite as its own category in Epic and lots of games tagged as Roguelike Rougelite in the site that shall not be named. Some publishers do tag metroidvania in GOG and the site that shall not be named, but if you look at the main category, they are all platfomers. R.U.B games run the gambit from RPGs, shooters, puzzles, but they seem to fall under the MAIN category of "Rouge-Like/Lite" That's been my big gripe. Is this obscure 1980 dungeon crawler, that was just a slight variation on other dungeon crawlers of the time managed to get it's own genre.

You get the sense of what it is, be it, League, Pokemon Unite, Smite, etc.. It's multiple players battling in a set arena. Even when Blizzard stepped in with Heroes of the Storm and tried to rename it to a "brawler", it was still the same thing. Yeah, they offered different maps (and then took out the good ones ultimately killing their game), but in each match you were in a specific map (Arena) with other online players (Multiplay Online) doing.. Battle. :)

      I don't disagree and I also tend to like progressive R.U.Bs a little bit better... but, as far as that having its own genre, we have tons of different styles within genres all the time. Final Fantasy VII (the original) and God of War were both considered RPGs, but one was also action/adventure (God of War) while FFVII had turned based combat. So, there are a group of R.U.Bs that have RPG elements (Hades, Valhalla), but they all promise the same general elements of being Random in creation, offering random upgrades to allow you to create a build and they are battlers. ;)

    So, considering the definition of Rogue-likes (or RUBs), I have an ideia for a new addition for the genre: - A game in which you start every new run completely fresh and don't carry over any items or levels to the next run, but let's add a skill tree you can fill up at the start of each run just to add diversity; - Each run you start with a character you pick, characters have different pros and cons and work better with different builds, so it's up to you to master them and find out how to better utilize each of them; - To shake up the genre, let's make the map always the same, but to add randomness it changes slightly throughout the course of the run, so previously visited areas can be revisited to find new content and objectives; - Now for the real randomness and freshness, in this game you are locked in the run with 9 other rogues, they are all like you, every game they are different with varying personalities, abilities, and items; - We will have some mobs outside these main 9, you know, basic low level enemies so you can level up and some stronger and even epic monsters you have to explore to find, and then you get more rewards and currency by killing them, although it won't be easy and everyone is trying to do the same; - Just so players don't focus just on combat, we will separate the characters of each run into two sets, the first will have 5 characters who are your enemies and the other set will have the remainder 4 characters who will be your allies, however you need to interact with and work with those allies, and that won't be so easy because in some runs they might hate you or have beef with other characters, so pulling them together will be just as hard as fighting the enemies; - Because you have to work as a team, all npcs and you will have different roles to play. At the start of each run you CAN pick two roles you want the most, but it's mostly random whether you get to play them or not; - To make it slightly more accessible to newer players, the runs won't end in death. Yes, yes I know it's handholding but hear me out. We put a spawn function, but each time you die the enemies get stronger. And the same for your allies, so you can't just abandon them. And to have a win condition, we will add tier or layers to the map and the end goal is basically going through all tier until you take over the enemy's base, while they try to take over yours. . . . . . . . . . . . . Yes, League of Legends is a Rogue-like.

    Great well said video, hopefully this is just the first of more PvE to come. I'm not a huge fan of the current iteration myself, chaos mode is more fun due to charms and the stronger rewards but it feels like its more of a puzzle to be solved than just building a strong well rounded comp. Of course you shouldn't just be able to mindlessly vertical a trait, but it feels quite limiting on the comps you are able to play. Randomness would be hard to execute well but it wouldn't be impossible so I hope we can see a proper more rougelike mode in the future, tockers trials does very much in my opinion still feel like it's just a proof of concept. Fun at first, frustrating when forced into certain Comps just so you have a chance to beat Chaos, and then pretty much zero reason to replay. It really sucks to have some really strong comps or traits that are just unusable in Tockers due to having to use the meta board for it.. that's really what killed my drive for experimenting in the mode after a bit.

      I am hoping they do more! I feel like, with some effort, they can capture a roguelite style. Conceptually, they could compose the board from random "builds" and scale based on level. Consider how many "builds" they could pre-program from stage 4->10 (so many interesting combinations) and then they could scale the build based on items and star level of champs. My Kid is the coder in the household, but I feel like if I can conceive it, someone can code it. Then you could easily go into an endless mode, that has only builds made up of 10 champs that keep scaling. You could create a "map" where you choose your path, which helps you put together your team. They really have infinite possibilities and I hope they more in this direction.

For example, in shapshifter/dragon you want to make sure you have a dragon's claw (two negatron cloaks) and a warmogs (two giants belts) for Shyvanna and a rageblade (Rod and bow) and last whisperer for nomsy (bow and glove). When my kid was learning he always kept the item chart up on his second monitor and when my dad was learning, he kept a print out of the item chart. Once you know the items, things will become a little easier. The good thing with Tocker's Trials is you don't have time limits, so you can take your time to look through anvils and consider what items you need w/o having the match start on you. Then I would pick 2 or 3 builds and and try and learn how they fit together and what items work best with them... when you see champs that fit into EITHER build pick them up.. that way when you pivot, you are pivoting to something you already have on your bench. This may hold you back a little as you are learning simply b/c you won't be maximizing interest all the time, BUT you are going to start to recognize what build you should be heading for earlier and earlier. So, for example, you can pick up champs for shapeshifter AND portal/scholar.. then if you start getting AP items (tears, rods, etc..) you head into portal/scholar.. if you get the makings of dragons claw and rage blade, head into shapeshifter dragon. Hope this helps a little.. and believe me... EVERYONE feels the same when they start this (Most won't admit it), but it takes a good 10 hours before you really start to feel comfortable with some of the builds.

      @AutarchTFT @AutarchTFT I'm starting to build that knowledge a little, I used to play just hyper roll with friends and some of then were like me, some were consistent diamonds. So I've heard things like AP, and I'm starting to understand which items work on which characters, (like blue buff on ahri and Blue Staff on Lillia) but sometimes if I can't make their ideal items (say I can only make hextech gun or evershroud) I don't always know if I should wait or make the less ideal item and use it. Some things I understand but don't know how to apply it, and some things I understand on it's own, but I don't know how it compares to other things. (Like wtf is omnivamp and is it good on someone like Neeko compared to damage amp or attack speed). I always have chrome open on my second monitor and I have blitz installed to help remember item combos, I'm getting some of them (I know two belts is warmogs, two tears is blue buff, bow and gauntlet make last whisper etc) I also made a sort of step by step checklist on my notes app for this strat, like when to save free rolls and when to roll down, move nomsy/jayce etc and that has helped rather than replaying the video and realising I just sunk 15 minutes into a run I threw at 2-1 for forgetting to do something or losing a life because of bad rolls. I had my first run last night where I got to stage like 3-6 or 3-7. I have more success getting the Gem or Locket item and the new recruit augment than I do getting thrill of the hunt lol.

      I suspect, from what you are saying, you didn't start in regular league of legends, which sadly, puts you at a disadvantage (this was a problem my dad faced when he started in TFT). AP = Ability Power aka Magic. AD = Attack Damage aka Physical. Different champs are better with different types of damage. In the early days TFT mirrored League, so if you knew the league champs, you would kinda know the TFT champs. But, now they have some that aren't the same (ie, Neeko as a tank is pretty unique to TFT), so you are not as far behind as you would have been. You will get there!!

    In the Last Round with morgana my WW just got transformed into a frog so many times that he just died eventually. nut sure what the counterplay is

      To win with WW in chaos, you MUST transition to a 3* 5 cost. WW alone cannot handle it.

    Thanks for the video, I couldn't find a build for a long time that would play in this mode, with your help I was finally able to pass, I especially liked the build with Warwick
