This is the game I've been playing on the Deck. Works pretty great on there. It's super lofi graphics, but great loot and stash system, battle, buffs, it's a decent roguelike. When a game hooks me, it hooks me. And just a couple bucks. You die a lot! And lose everything, of course. Great bite sized runs.

Late night Rogue-FP session (as usual)

#Rogue #RogueFP #SteamDeck #TraditionalRoguelikes #roguelike #roguelikes

The things in Rogue that kill me most aren't even monsters. It's traps, by far. Dying from hypothermia, fire, falling in a pit, having the roof collapse. Things that just take you out fast, before you even have time to react.

Just like real life.

Took this screenshot of two of the better rings I've ever found in one run in Rogue, because OF COURSE I died seconds after this from some stupid trap or falling somewhere (I don't always know, sometimes the deaths are super chaotic and fast) 😂

Also, has anyone ever found a use for the monster bit bag? Is it just if you get to town, to trade or craft, or something? Bragging rights? Anyway.

In Rogue-FP on Steam, EVERYTHING is made of letters. When you kill a monster and come back later, there will often be flies (capital 'F' letters) flying around the remains 😂

Anybody ever get a 'scroll of gold madness' in Rogue before?

Rogue on Steam does this thing where it can make everything 3D, and everything (monsters, scenery, all of it) is made from the letters and numbers. It's wild, and I'm hooked. 😂 Totally amazing to play on a Steam Deck.
