How come we don't have a roguelikes thread on /arcade/ yet?

What's your most recent social life killer? How do you usually try to build your character? Do you believe in optional content?

Recently I've been playing:

ToME - Very decent game if you enjoy taking it slow and playing in a reactive way. While there are enough fodder enemies, rares spawn with same classes, skillsets and progression a player character could have achieved at their level, which makes fights incredibly fun and complex, especially when you're facing three multi-classed enemies of your level who consist of a melee tank, a ranged DD and a CC mage.

Soulash 1/2 - fairly small roguelikes, can't recommend them for more than one night of fun, they attracted me with tank controls and FoV, which I personally would like to see in more top-down games, but turned out to be very shallow and felt rushed.

Also killed a few of my nights by playing DCSS again, constantly trying to go for a short blades all offense build.

Couldn't upgrade my gear since D:14 and through Lair, Spider Nest, Swamp, Orc Mines and half of Elven Halls, RNG loves me

Not much of a traditional roguelike, I like to play Hyperrogue, a roguelike in the hyperbolic plane!

Last time I played DCSS I had a really fun time with the martial arts god. Got several wins with him too! I haven't payed attention to the game in about a year, I'm still not sure how I feel about them removing random energy and adding opportunity attacks but I didn't *hate* them like a lot of people did. It's at least a fun reason to play Tengu now cuz once you get the 0.9 move speed you can kite like the old days hehe

After I made this post I checked the website and it looks like they're testing something that approximates the old system in trunk. Interesting

Elona is a very specific one, can't even count it as a roguelike, more like a massive-massive sandbox. Can't blame you!

>>1924
Wu Jian? The one which allows you to jump from walls and slash everything around you? He's my favorite, he's essentially just a movekit for very stylish executions and doesn't limit at all unlike other gods.

Whenever you die - try to think about what you could have done to prevent that death. Whenever you feel like your character is having troubles with creatures of your "level" think of what part of your build could have been prioritized more to help you out. Generally you want to find the silver line between broad skillset and narrow expertise to be able to respond to any kinds of threats with decent skills.
Although this advice is mostly for adom, the other two games you played are so specific and I don't have enough experience with them to help you.

This character is very OP

gonna take this as an invitation to shill Lost Branch of Legend!
It's basically a Touhou reskin for Slay the Spire and it doesn't even pretend not to be one. But it also introduces some really really cool mechanics such as Magic-style colored mana, more interesting action economy, and a whole lot more. It genuinely destroyed my free time for the first couple days I've tried it, and they're *still* adding more stuff.

Insanely good, go try it

Shadow of the Wyrm is underrated and you'll like it if you like ADOM and CoQ. Also recently found this one: https://aukustus.itch.io/the-temple-of-torment
