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.

I have won at least 5 times (with many losses) so basic knowledge isn't my issue.

Potions/scrolls identification isn't so bad (still a bit tedious), it feels like a puzzle (and can be to your advantage) even though I don't really like the meta-ness of it. Wands identification is fine, except for when it curses your worn equipment. I also hate how some rewards can still be cursed.

Yep I take your points about tedious, your opinion is valid and I won't get paid if you start playing again ๐Ÿ˜€ I always thought warrior was tedious though it got a little better when 1.0 came out. Enjoyed doing each of the challenges enabled and then played a lot of TCPD, to feel like losing would be more likely than winning. Started duelist for the first time last week after not playing for 6 months, no challenges but it reminded me another thing I like; winning can be high probability but it's never easy. I've rarely had a breeze, those can be fun but I enjoy the struggle.

For comparison, I started playing Slay the Spire this year (also on tablet). I don't understand how people can win 100% of the time on that with even a few ascensions. Have not gotten past A2 at all. So I've stopped trying, but I love the daily climb challenge because they are always different and at my difficulty level.
