    Can we not use “roguelite” and “arcade” in the same sentence? Roguelite is the anti-arcade.

    Arcade games don’t reward you with permanent power ups for losing runs, that’s just modern gaming nonsense, which you can enjoy, just get your terminology right and don’t mislead people.

    Beat’em up != arcade.

      In this case the article references specific arcade beat-em-ups that the game reminds them of, so I don’t think it is off base.

    Arcade-ass?

      Bad-ass means the opposite. Does this mean it’s not arcade or a bad-ass arcade category implementation? I assume they mean the latter. It just doesn’t make sense.
