I played a *lot* of rogue in the early 80s. I can't remember a single game marketed as a "roguelike" that I've played that reminded me of playing rogue.

The term for OG roguelikes is the "Berlin interpretation" of roguelikes.

This is great. Old school game dev where youd built the whole engine optimized for the game rather than using an over generalized mess like unity or unreal

Programming might be a roguelike game, you fail many times at a task, starting from scratch again and again, until you master the field

Real life might be a (hardcore) roguelike game too! ... except you can't restart on failure or reroll your starter kit

And that's the trouble with death in rl, the permanence was never implied.

The actual roguelikes that look like Rogue: text based, turn-by-turn dungeon crawlers are often now called "traditional roguelikes".
At first glance, it looks like a traditional roguelike, but maybe some elements carry over, putting it in the "roguelite" territory.
