Hello friends! Is there a lemmy community for roguelikes? I am, in this case, looking for a place focused on more traditional roguelikes (DCSS, CCDDA, BROGUE, etc)

If there isn't one, no worries, send me you're favorite unknown traditional roguelikes. I'll tell you mine. It's called "Empires of Eradia" it's a more open combat focused RL with a unique twist on permadeath. It's got great crafting and a strong focus on risk reward.

You know, I never got into nethack. I can appreciate it's complexity but it seems just a little too much for me. I've played well over my fair share of crawl though. I don't mind tiles so much when done well but ascii is just as good.

I must admit I'm spoiled not only to auto explore but also to the numpad... dcss always hit that perfect balance of an auto that was fluid and purposeful without diving you into weird situations and feeling inadequate (looking at you Qud, I love your game but your autoexplore is garbage).

I guess I may have to check out nethack again though. Thanks for the suggestion!

Eyy!! Just saw the edit! No idea why those didn't show up when I looked! Thanks you very kindly!

quick Q since I keep reading about it, are Crawl and DCSS the same thing?

[–] Grenfur@lemmy.one 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They are.

Well, to be pedantic, strictly-speaking Crawl was the original game, and Dungeon Crawl: Stone Soup the continuation. But unless one is very specifically referring to the early versions of the game, yeah, they're basically synonyms.
