#roguelikes — Public Fediverse posts

When I need a quick game to jump into for a bit, I often go for Heroes of Loot (either the first OR 2). I've been playing them a while now. Maybe I'll beat one of them someday. 😂 They're such a blast. Super satisfying.

I hope traditional roguelike fans who follow me here have been following the progress I've boosted here and there about @josemachete79's ZAngband variant 'ZMAngband' he's been working on based on the original red box D&D rules.

Go to https://jose-machete.itch.io/zmangband07me and grab a copy to try out yourself - it's a blast!

Apparently I'm basically the only one using the #DungeonCrawlers hashtag, but that's okay, because scrolling it is a pretty cool look back at the games I've played and dug.

Didn't make it too far in GodoRogue. But decent first run as just a standard default Rodney.

Trying out GodoRogue tonight. It's great! You can use the keyboard commands or mouse directly to different locations, how you can see in the screenshot - the yellow line. And you can play this one in-browser. It was made in HTML5!

Played a little rogue560 (https://icegoat9.itch.io/rogue560) tonight - actually ran great via Firefox on my S21.

rogue560 was made by @icegoat and it's pretty wild. Made for TweetJam 7 in 2021, it is a pico-8 game in just two tweets (560 characters) of code!

Here's their description of it:

Explore randomly-generated dungeons trying to get the highest score/health, or reach the deepest level

The game is decidedly unfair in that it can randomly generate unbeatable levels that will end your run (you can always refresh and start over), but using challenging diagonal moves (hit two arrow keys at ~exactly the same time) can get you out of many tight spots.

Playing @krystman's pico-8 roguelike Porklike today. It is VERY good.

Rogue Fable III is a GREAT free in-browser roguelike on itch.io. It's smooth, responsive, and intuitive.

I realized today that when I lost Twitter, I also lost a lot of the cool indie game devs I was following there (and the updates on their games). And that totally sucks, because I really love to play indie games. Apparently Twitter was my main source for discovering them (sheesh).

Below is a pretty big list of games (with links to them!) that I'm looking forward to. There are SO MANY games on my Steam wishlist that are still being worked on and upcoming (some of these are on itch also, and some have alphas, betas, and demos, I've noted which).

Some of these games are definitely coming later this year, and fingers crossed for maybe full releases of the rest in 2024?

Here's the links!

I've gathered together a collection on itch.io of 20+ cool indie games (mostly roguelikes) that you can play in-browser here: https://itch.io/c/3248131/in-browser

I've been playing a few tonight.

Attached here is a still from the adorable Dahla's Journey (https://kryptopixel.itch.io/dahlas-journey).
