"Traditional roguelikes like The Binding of Isaac"

[NOT_A_ROGUELIKE]

BoI isn't even a roguelike, and neither is this game. Check out https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roguelike for more information on what roguelikes are. Devs, please do your research- the misinformation is bad enough with steam tags as is.

Nothing like beating a dead horse.

The first two sentences are quite inaccurate. It should state:

“UnderMine is an action-adventure roguelite, with a bit of RPG tossed in. Blending combat and dungeon crawling from “The Binding of Isaac”, with the progression of “Rogue Legacy”, UnderMine delivers a fresh new entry to the genre.”

As the OP mentioned, The Binding of Isaac is not a traditional roguelike; let alone a roguelike. It is a roguelite. Among many incorrect elements, showcased, roguelikes do not have elements of real-time or progression.

it may be beating a dead horse, as the previous poster mentioned, but not all developers are aware of what constitutes a roguelike and may be guided by the mistakes of other previous developers and inaccurate Steam tags. This particular title has garnered some negative attention, externally, which may not hurt it in the long run, given it is a form of exposure.

Now we can't even call "traditional roguelikes" to real roguelikes.

This dude has an account just to complain about games that are roguelites being labeled as roguelikes. Newsflash friend: Roguelikes players are a very, very niche community.

The real roguelikes track progression. Isaac didn't you started as you were and gathered a lot over time,

This one, you build yourself up over time, coming back continuously, mining gold, and then actually depending on the items you find, you can play differently.

Just now, i had an item which strikes lightning when im picking up gold - so i mined to damage enemies in the room as a way to initiate attack.

The floor being electric and all the elements hurting you , is the real world - The environment is there to hurt anyone, or anything that gets in the way

Other genres = top down shooter, melee action- Miner of War MoW UnderMiner Civil War


Love the game either way, no matter what on earth you call it.

All the dead miners fight in Valhalla while we dala what we must on the surface

Just want to point out again that rogue-lites, like this game and the ones mentioned in the game description, are games that are lite on roguelike elements. Games that aren't like rogue can't qualify as rogue-likes.

This semantics argument is so overdone at this point. All you have to do is look at the game, if its turn based where your enemy moves when you do, then its what your looking for. Roguelike vs Roguelite is literally a one letter difference and complaining about it just means your being obtuse.

I am a roguelike purist and I need to be 100% anal over every thing and need to ♥♥♥♥♥ about a term that has stayed a little but from its initial meaning. If you are a troll leave have a discussion on the game not a term.
