6	-->-- '''Common saying in roguelike circles'''
7
8	Roguelikes are a broad [[VideoGameGenres genre]] of video games in which the gameplay is built around two main features:
9
10	* '''[[RandomlyGeneratedLevels Random procedural generation]]''': Level designs and gameplay elements are generated randomly and are intended to be different on every playthrough.
11	* '''[[{{Permadeath}} Permanent character death]]''': If the player loses, the game must be restarted from the beginning with a new character.
12
13	The main hallmark of a roguelike is that it is designed to be replayed frequently and to give a new and different experience every time, by using random generation to create unpredictable level arrangements. A single playthrough of a roguelike is typically referred to as a "run", which ends either when the game is completed or (more likely) when the player loses.
14
15	Because a roguelike's challenges are randomly-generated and always different, this gives them a greater replay value than games in which levels are hand-designed. However, the trade-off is that level designs tend to be less creative than a hand-crafted experience, as the algorithm which designs the levels can only follow a limited set of rules. This also means there is no way to create a definitive {{Walkthrough}} for a roguelike — one can only advise the player on which decisions are generally best to take.
16
17	The {{Trope Maker\|s}} for the genre is the 1980 video game ''VideoGame/{{Rogue}}'', a terminal-based DungeonCrawling game which popularized the gameplay combination of random level generation and permadeath. ''Rogue'''s design inspired a huge family of dungeon crawlers over the next few decades, which became known as "roguelikes".
18
19	Since the 2000s, the design philosophy of procedural generation and permadeath found its way into many other games as well, and the term "roguelike" began to be applied more generally to such games. See the [[Analysis/{{Roguelike}} Analysis]] page for more details on the history of roguelikes.
20
21	Common tropes and mechanics in roguelikes include:
22
23	* {{Macrogame}}: Some aspect of the game carries over from one playthrough to the next, even when the player gets defeated and has to start over. Examples could be a currency that persists beyond death, or items that become available in future playthroughs once unlocked in-game. This was less common in early roguelikes, which fully expected you to restart from the very beginning after a death. In modern roguelikes, it is common for your in-game actions to have at least some indirect effect on how the game will play out next time.
24	* SuspendSave: Roguelikes typically have OnlyOneSaveFile per character, and do not allow or expect you to reload a save other than to resume a game already in progress. This prevents players from SaveScumming, which could otherwise be used to circumvent {{Permadeath}}.
25	* RPGElements: The original dungeon crawlers were essentially single-character {{RPG}}s, and thus naturally had RPG mechanics such as [[TheSixStats stats]], ExperiencePoints and [[CharacterLevel levelling up]]. However, modern roguelikes still often retain RPG-like mechanics, even if the game is not a RolePlayingGame.
26	* [[SkillScoresAndPerks Perks]]: In modern roguelikes, it's common for the player to be regularly gifted with special abilities which remain with them for the rest of the game, often as a reward for stage completion or when gaining an experience level. A common practice is for the game to offer a random selection of perks (usually [[RuleOfThree three]]) and allow the player to pick one, which gives them some limited control over their progression. A "perk reroll" feature is also quite common, allowing the player a second chance to get a perk they want (usually for a price).
27	* RandomlyGeneratedLoot: Since roguelikes are designed for a random challenge, it's not too uncommon for this principle to be applied to the game's loot system too. Several of the early classic dungeon-crawlers had quite sophisticated item generation mechanics, making it possible to acquire powerful items simply by good luck.
28	* RandomDrops: Since roguelikes are built for randomized gameplay, accommodating a random drop mechanic is straightforward and some include this as a secondary method of obtaining items. Games may also include a RandomDropBooster to allow players to exploit this.
29	* [[RandomEvent Random Events]]: To keep the player on their toes, roguelikes will sometimes have infrequent, unpredictable events which affect the current level, usually making it more difficult. An example would be a sudden change of weather which affects combat.
30	* DungeonShop: Shops appear periodically during gameplay, even in places where you wouldn't expect them, and can be vital lifelines for a flagging player (or detriment if it’s gold for random loot which may have negative effects on your build). Sometimes they are random and only appear if you're lucky; other times, they appear in predictable locations and may be useful as safe stopping points. Some games may even provide perks which are specifically geared toward finding shops, or getting in-store discounts. If staffed by a shopkeeper, ShopliftAndDie may be in effect, especially when the shop is a physical location in the game world.
31	* ResourcesManagementGameplay: Since roguelikes are randomly generated, the resources available to the player are not guaranteed and may be different each playthrough. For example, an item that got the player out of a tough spot before might not be available the next time around. Thus, there is an element of carefully making use of whatever resources the player has to hand. Sometimes this involves carefully rationing the resources you have, or taking risks to secure resources that you need.
32	* LimitedLoadout: On the flipside of resource management, some roguelikes are capable of giving the player ''too many'' resources, since random generation can provide a potentially limitless supply. To counter this, games may put a tight limit on the player's inventory and force them to choose which items are most important to them.
33
34	Roguelikes have a reputation for being [[NintendoHard infamously difficult and unforgiving]], which is largely due to the influence of early dungeon-crawlers such as ''VideoGame/{{NetHack}}'' and ''VideoGame/{{Angband}}'' — these games took {{Permadeath}} very seriously indeed and did little to protect the player from fatal mistakes, instead using death as a way to teach the player what not to do next time. ''VideoGame/{{NetHack}}'', in particular, originated the concept of "YetAnotherStupidDeath" due to the absurd number of different ways a player can die in the game.
35
36	While modern roguelikes are usually friendlier, games in the genre still tend to be quite challenging — after all, there is no point in permadeath if it is easy to avoid dying. Still, some modern roguelikes have taken steps to soften the punishment, such as by limiting failures to just the current level, or by allowing the player to carry some of their efforts over to their next playthrough when they die so that they at least have a better chance on future runs.
37
38	Compare VideoGameRandomizer, a type of GameMod which adds roguelike-style randomness to a previously static game. [[DeckbuildingGame Deckbuilding Games]] often overlap with roguelikes due to the inherent randomization of card draws. See also RandomEncounters and RandomlyGeneratedQuests, which are types of procedural content that are often incorporated into [[RolePlayingGame Role Playing Games]].

It also spawns an entity called "your corpse" on the spot where you died that has all your goodies on it. They became a GenreKiller in that almost all new post-''Diablo'' roguelikes take inspiration from it instead of ''Rogue'' itself until in the late {{Noughties}} where a sort of "roguelike Renaissance" occurred thanks to several successful indie roguelikes. Its own clones include:
128	** ''VideoGame/{{Fate}}'', a "cover band" version
129	** ''VideoGame/HellgateLondon'', ''MYTHOS'' and ''VideoGame/{{Torchlight}}'', which are all {{Spiritual Successor}}s made by the remains of Blizzard North.
130	** ''VideoGame/DiabloRL'', i.e. Diablo roguelike, is more of a roguelike than a "Diablolike" due to its turn-based nature.
131	** ''VideoGame/TitanQuest'' and its SpiritualSuccessor ''VideoGame/GrimDawn'', heavily based on Diablo II but with a unique hybrid class system, though they lack real death punishment or randomly-generated maps — the exception to the latter are certain dungeons in ''Grim Dawn'', which are expressly randomized.
132	** ''VideoGame/PathOfExile'', which messes with most of Diablo II's core mechanics but very much maintains its spirit.
133	** ''VideoGame/GreedBlackBorder'' and ''VideoGame/SpaceHack'', Diablo [[RecycledInSpace IN SPACE!]]
134	* ''VideoGame/DiceyDungeons'' mixes roguelike with {{RPG}}-style combat where dice are used to determine the effects of actions.
135	* ''VideoGame/DigimonWorld2'' combines roguelike with ([[Franchise/{{Digimon}} obviously]]) {{Mon}}s, set completely in the Digital World. Notably the game allows players to recruit the monsters in the dungeons and add them to their party, and is in fact necessary to progress the plot at certain points.
136	* ''VideoGame/DinsCurse''
137	* ''VideoGame/{{Dnd}}'', the UrExample of Roguelikes. It predates ''Rogue'' by several years, but has many features that would eventually become commonplace in the roguelike genre.
138	* ''VideoGame/DontStarve'': Survival Game in a strange land, after a GentlemanAndAScholar gets trapped in it by a [[DealWithTheDevil handsome devil who promised him great knowledge]].
139	* ''VideoGame/{{Doors\|Roblox}}'': Roblox horror game with randomly generated rooms that each contain multiple threats.
140	* ''VideoGame/{{DRL}}'' (originally known as ''Doom, the roguelike'')
141	** ''VideoGame/AliensTheRoguelike'' is basically the ''Franchise/{{Alien}}'' equivalent of ''Doom, the roguelike'', except this one has [[AnAdventurerIsYou character classes]] and is (especially if you play in darkness and, with headphones) [[ParanoiaFuel MUCH scarier…]]
142	** ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaTheRoguelike'', with sprites or with ASCII graphics.
143	** ''VideoGame/ZeldaRoguelike''
144	** ''VideoGame/RockmanRoguelike''
145	** ''VideoGame/MetroidRoguelike''

147	* ''VideoGame/DotaUnderlords''
148	* ''VideoGame/DragonCrystal''
149	* ''VideoGame/DragonFinSoup'' uses roguelike mechanics with a story mode as well as standard permadeath roguelike modes.
150	* ''VideoGame/DragonQuestMonsters'', especially the Game Boy and Game Boy Advance installments. ''VideoGame/DragonQuestMonstersJoker'' eschewed it in favor of 3D, although ''VideoGame/DragonQuestMonstersJoker2'' added some light roguelike elements in the bonus dungeons.
151	* ''VideoGame/{{Dreamscaper}}''
152	* ''VideoGame/TheDrop''
153	* ''VideoGame/DungeonCrawl''. A roguelike with a laundry list of unique features to increase the focus on player skill rather than luck. Part of the Berlin Interpretation canon.
154	* ''VideoGame/TheDungeonOfDoom'' (aka ''The Dungeon Revealed'')
155	* ''VideoGame/DungeonsOfDredmor'' not only has sprite graphics, but also animations, sound effects, background music, DifficultyLevels, and the option to turn off Permadeath, all of which are very rare for roguelikes.
156	* ''VideoGame/DungeonOfTheEndless'' combines this with TowerDefense, RealTimeStrategy, and TurnBasedStrategy.
157	* ''VideoGame/{{Dungeonmans}}'' supplements an old-school roguelike with meta-progression between characters, making it more beginner-friendly.
158	* ''VideoGame/DungeonsOfAether''
159	* ''VideoGame/{{Dungreed}}''
160	* ''VideoGame/{{Duskers}}''
161	* The Adventure mode of ''VideoGame/DwarfFortress''. Fortress Mode retains the aesthetic, but {{Genre Shift}}s to a city builder[=/=]survival game.
162	* ''VideoGame/EagleIsland''[='=]s whole concept revolves around a PlatformGame with procedurally generated loot, terrain, and monsters that are different every time the level is replayed.
163	* ''VideoGame/EarthNight'', which has the core of an EndlessRunningGame, but with distinct, though procedurally generated levels. Moreover, each level is an enormous dragon you run from tail towards head, collecting treasure off its back and dodging enemies before finally stabbing it through the skull.
164	* ''VideoGame/Eldritch2013'' is a roguelike deprived of RPGElements and with a FirstPersonShooter[=/=]PlatformGame[=/=]StealthBasedGame gameplay.
165	* ''VideoGame/{{Elona}}'' is this in tandem with also possessing farming sim elements, as well as references to many of the other roguelikes listed on this page.

168	* ''VideoGame/EnterTheGungeon'' is a mix of roguelike and BulletHell shooter systems.

176	* ''VideoGame/FatalLabyrinth''
177	* ''VideoGame/FeralFury''
178	* ''VideoGame/FightsInTightSpaces'' is a deckbuilding roguelike inspired by {{Fight Scene}}s.
179	* ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyX2 Last Mission'' is an extra included with the International and HD Remaster versions of ''Final Fantasy X-2''. It abandons anything resembling normal ''Franchise/FinalFantasy''-style gameplay in favor of a system like this.
180	* ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIV'' has a GameWithinAGame, the 'Deep Dungeons'. In practice, these are Roguelikes that have an entirely separate progression system from the rest of the game. Each tier of the dungeon has 10 floors, with the first nine being randomly generated, and the tenth always being a boss. Additionally, there are 'Accursed Hoard' caches that can only be unveiled with a special item; finding one yields loot that can be redeemed outside of the Deep Dungeon. Lastly, if you max out your Aetherpool weapon and armor, you can 'cash out' a permanent version of a class Aetherpool weapon, at the cost of resetting your Aetherpool progression in Deep Dungeons to +1/+1.
181	* ''VideoGame/TheFlameInTheFlood'' is a top-down 3D survival game set in a flooded post-apocalyptic America, with gameplay split between on-foot and raft-sailing sections.

186	* ''VideoGame/FTLFasterThanLight'' mixes roguelike with RealTimeWithPause space battles.
187	* ''VideoGame/GalakZTheDimensional'' mixes roguelike elements with space shooter gameplay. The normal gameplay mode only allows the player to save progress at the end of a season (consisting of five episodes): dying forces players to start over from the beginning of the season. An arcade mode is also available that eases the difficulty slightly by saving progress after every episode.
188	* ''VideoGame/GatewayToApshai,'' the ActionizedSequel to ''Temple of Apshai''

The player has only one life in this mode; upon dying, the run ends and the player earns ExperiencePoints that can unlock new moves for their character.
378	* ''VideoGame/StreetsOfRogue'' is Rogue meets VideoGame/GrandTheftAuto… minus the auto part, since it doesn't have cars.

441	* ''VideoGame/ZenlessZoneZero''
442	* ''VideoGame/ZettaiHeroProject'' - By the ''Franchise/{{Disgaea}}'' team. Far more lenient than most in that dying is not only not-permanent, it's encouraged. You still lose your fancy equipment (which becomes more taxing as you go on), but dying provides the same bonuses to base stats and stats per level-up as actually beating a dungeon, in a game where you start each dungeon over at level 1.
443	* ''VideoGame/{{Ziggurat}}'' blends this with ''VideoGame/{{Heretic}}''-style FirstPersonShooter. It has a difficulty select, and there is some persistent progression in the form of new characters, weapons, and perks unlocked by completing at least one floor.
444	* ''VideoGame/{{Zorbus}}'', a graphical roguelike with dynamic dungeon levels.
