Comment on Any good Android games that aren't roguelikes?
Unboxious@ani.social 2 days agoThese days when people say roguelike they just mean a game that divides its gameplay into short, disconnected runs instead of one long, continuous save. It unfortunately has nothing to do with whether a game is anything like Rogue.

Yes, the term is often misapplied, but Balatro has the other key part of actually being a roguelike which is leveling up your build periodically from a randomly selected set of options. The bosses are also randomly selected. It very much is a roguelike

Those are neat and trendy features, but I don’t see how they make it anything like Rogue or its ilk.
